"it gets moving... then it gets tired. just like a big dude" is the most relatable thing I've heard all day. I'm a 6 foot, 300+ guy that owns a 2011 Ford Taurus.

Very funny that you mentioned being more into Chevy and Chrysler. I'm the exact same and was actually looking into a 300 or charger but ended up getting a 2013 sho recently. I find the interior to be much more luxurious than a charger, better on gas, awd, less on insurance, and if done correctly it can gap a scat.

OMG! That skyline is beautiful! Awesome video!

Congrats! Great choice. I have a 2014 SHO and I love it. I bought mine in 2015 it was off lease and had 32,000 miles. It now has 103,000 miles and still runs great. It's got the same wheels as yours and it's tuxedo black metallic. I murdered it all out wheels, window trim, grille surround, and trunk. Tinted the windows and and de-badged it. It's black and beautiful. Good luck and drive safe.

Nice. I have a 2010 All black Taurus. Drove from the West Coast to the East and it drove like a dream. Super reliable cars.

I bought a 2016 Taurus SEL w/ 70k miles and I love it. Same color and wheels like you got. Totally loaded. Previous owner ordered it with everything. Got it for 16k$. Not as much power as the SHO but it moves. Great video!!

I love it! Great choice. 👍🏽

Interesting video! I enjoyed your car knowledge and sharing your journey of car ownership.

I love the 2013 Taurus. I bought a Limited Load it every option their is moon roof LOVE IT

Nice car, love the names you gave them. That SHO is looking super Clean!!!! Nice!!!!

Dude, so true!!! I have a 2015 SHO, it just keeps giving me a thrill everytime I drive it. It does everything I ask of it. I have been so lucky 🍀 and have not gotten in trouble with it yet, knock ✊🏿 on wood.

I know this video is 2 yrs old but it popped up for me. I bought a brand new 2014 SHO but I had the PP (Performance Package) on mine with the Flower wheels, etc. It was silver just like yours! I installed a Gearhead Tune, 3-bar MAP, CAI, Exhaust, H&R Lowering Springs, etc. I got her on the Mustang Dyno and got her to about 500 Crank HP and 515 ft lbs! With AWD I would beat Mustangs, Camaros, etc - it was hilarious being in a huge, heavy family sedan with massaging/cooled/heated seats, etc! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

I just bought a 2013 Ford Taurus sho and it’s great, the power is there when I need it, comfortable and very nice looking

You are an awesome storyteller/narrator. Keep it up. I love my 2016 Black SHO with perf pack. Incl Alcantara steering wheel.

one of the best looking daily drivers! beautiful car!

I own a 2016 dark blue and have the same rims you have. I could never care for the "flower petal" rims most SHOs had, but for a few years they offered those rims (I think they were optional on the SEL model) as a no cost option, and that sold the car for me.

I'm a SHO owner, if you want those turbos lasting long... PLEASE CHANGE OIL OFTEN IM TALKING EVERY 3K MILES. other than that it's a solid car, noticed you don't have the flower wheels so that's a non pp (none preformance pack) the performances pack comes with a intercooler, flower wheels 20", a sport mode where it'll TRUELY turn off the traction control, and faster gear shifting. Enjoy your sho broooo Great car, just needs lots of love and maintenance. Last but not least, get all fluid change. The PTU and tranny also get a pil catch can, car is notorious for having a oil intake inside.

I bought a 2013 ford Taurus sel I love the car and it’s a true sleeper. Got some internals done

just got a 13 taurus limited. needs new strut bearings but i love it. once i get out of college I am definitely buying a SHO. great car all around.

I bought a black 2016 Ford Taurus SEL with AWD, 20 inch tire package, sunroof, leather, etc more than the Limited options. The car then was less than 3 years old from a Ford dealer with 32k, one owner and new front brakes for $17.6k. I received an additional 18 month, 36k warranty all around and 100k/60 month engine and transmission from Ford. Just changed the original battery with 54k miles and battery and terminal looked pretty much like it's new replacement. Of course I change the 20" tires about 6 months after the purchase from Tire Track. This is a big car man, and gets around 18.5 miles in strictly around town because of the 4400 lb weight. If you drive conservatively at 65 mph you can get about 26.5 mpg which is great for a car of this size. Love to buy this car again but of course 2019 was the last year produced.

I have a Ruby Red 2015 SHO with the same options. I bought it with 300 miles on it. It was on the dealers lot for over a Year when I bought it for 30k. Only have 28k on it.

I had a 2016 SHO Performance Package. That was my dream car for years and finally I just stopped dreaming and got it. A what a sleeper! I could blow past anything and people wonder how the heck did they just get smoked by a … what is that anyway? But another thing these cars were loaded with amenities. Heated and cooled seats with massage, ambient lighting, voice controlled navigation, the works. I truly loved driving this car. Alas my black beauty was stolen and found totaled three miles away. I think I know who snatched it but that’s another story and I’ve let it go. I mellowed out, started reconfiguring my life for retirement. I just settled into a Lexus, the default vehicle when you given up.

I bought a 2016 Taurus limited in January this year with 40k miles. It still drives amazing with no problems, a very smooth ride. All I had to replace was the cabin air filter and did a routine oil change so far and I also upgraded my headlights to LED as they came with standard halogen. I want to upgrade to HID in the future though.

Purchased my SHO in April 2023. Been still learning and loving it. Went with Ruby Red Metallic paint, and decided to call her Dorothy 😂

Very nice SHO, yours looks like the full load. I purchased my 2011 SHO last May. I bought it privately from a gentleman for 10K who had babied it for the 10 years he owned it. The car had 78000 KMs (48400 miles) and was immaculate. I sold my 2015 Challenger RT (5.7L 6 spd) and replaced it with this Rocket. The smartest move I have ever made car-wise! This past winter (I live in Vancouver BC) we have had horrible weather, massive flooding in the Fraser Valley, and several major snowfalls. My SHO with all-season tires handled the snow easily. If I had still owned my Challenger I wouldn't have been able to go anywhere, even though I had winter tires for it! The SHO is comfortable, really fast, handles great for a big car, is equipped with an excellent nav / sound system. Best of all it seats 4 comfortably and has the trunk space for golf clubs and luggage for a road trip! For a car that has been ripped by consumer reports and other auto journalists., the SHO ( and MKS) sure have a loyal following.

I like the Taurus. Great car. Thanks for the video.

Woww!! Really sir, congrats sir. I'm so proud of you as always 💓💛

Good video! Enjoyed the walk around

I got a same one performance package but mine is dark grey. You are NOT gonna be disappointed brother.

Just baught a 2013 identical to yours love this car!!

Congratulations on your Taurus SHO

Man I really Liked Your Video. You're a Natural Behind the Camera, Your sound is Great using a clip on Mike>

I took an Uber the other night and the guy was driving a Taurus Limited. I was stunned how nice the interior was. And it felt like I was riding in a tank. Really solid. I've been looking at used BM's, Audi's, and Lexus's too. But why not pay half the money and get one of these. And it will have more options than those other cars and will cost cheaper to fix. Like it in the Ruby Red color. Will be picking one up soon. Like a 2018 or 2019. Nice review. I agree with everything you said.

I was in the market for a SHO but found the Limited thats almost like the SHO. My limited is loaded and love it.

Gr8 video! Love your car.

Man this review was good I didn’t have to skip any parts I see your a one man army switching up that camera angles btw what brand of watch are you wearing?

This is dope! I just bought one. Same year and everything

I love my 2015 SHO the big body reminds me of a old muscle car

I need this. I love the whole sleeper concept and I need something family oriented. Best of both worlds I guess.

As a Fusion Sport owner I must say, Ford did a hell of a job with these sleepers. They produced a ton of them in the 2010s - pretty much anything Ford put a v6 ecoboost became an immediate sleeper. Very underrated moment in automotive history.

Congrats it’s an awesome car. I have a shadow black 2017 SHO w/ the Performance Pack. The 16-19 Taurus’ get the sync 3 system with Apple Car play. Pretty sure the 0-60 is about 5.2 seconds stock. Didn’t buy mine from a dealer so i paid about 13k had about 58k miles.

Amazing car. I love the SHO

Nice ride !

I've had the exact car for 3 years. I put a Livernois tune, 3 bar map sensor, 160° thermostat and a cold air intake and it unleashed a beast. 0-60 in 4 seconds. All for under a grand. Oh...and some H&R springs; stiffens up ride a bit and shrinks the wheel gab about 1.5 inches.

You going to like it I have a 15 sho and I loved this car since day one only had it for a year and already customized it

My son just turned 19. He had a 2006 ford escape then a 2001 Volvo and now he mentioned a 2013 taurus sho. I had to look it up to see what he was getting his self into Lol. And from what i've learned he will be satisfied.

I'm so jealous, dude. You got so lucky with all them options on this baby. my Lexus didn't even come with a heated steering wheel and rear heated seats and it's only front wheel drive.

Ive been looking for these recently. Thats a steal in todays pricing on those SHO with that low mileage and year.

one of the greatest sleeper rides

Excellent choice I have a 2015 Ruby red metallic PP but your color would have been my next choice. That looks soooo clean from inside to out, I can say a few things you may not see a lot of SHO's driving around well at least in my city (Chicago) because brand new it was $46,580 depending on the package. And people may not wanted to pay $$$ for a Ford SHO so they just lease it for business/personal "That's my opinion". I bought mine off a lease in Kentuck I drove from Chicago. The market is oversaturated with Chargers, R/T, Scat pack Ect with the wrong driver in those cars off the line they have to play catch up by then the race is over. SHO wins. Last thing if you do change sound let me know what you did. I'm about to change mine soon maybe Kenwood xr600

Nice car and one other thing it stands out from the crowd it doesn't Look like anything else on the Road

awesome! best sleeper ever…and btw, the FORDGT ecoBOOST only shares the name & liters as the taurus but more of the f-150 truck version 3gen i think.

Nice video man. 👍🏻👍🏻 I have the “sister“ to your car. A 2013 Lincoln MKS eco-boost in silver. I love mine as well!

I'll be getting an interceptor this week very low miles can't wait 🙌🏿🔥

“Not sure how ya roll this over…but somebody figured it out!” LMA😂.

Yesssirrrr

Loved this. I'm considering a SHO for my next car (My daily driver now is, believe it or not, a 1990 35th Anniversary Thunderbird SC) and this is one of the very best reviews I've watched on the SHO. Just plain well done. Love the no-nonsense, but non-offensive NYC attitude of the narrator (sorry, I did not get your name). Great videography, great description, fun to watch...and boy do I want one of these! anyway, God bless and enjoy your car!

Just picked up a 2012 sho, these things are sick, enjoy yours!

I bought a 2014 couple weeks ago and I’m still learning stuff I didn’t even know about the car 😂 I got a mild tune on it, straight exhaust and I couldn’t be happier. Only thing I think I’ll do is change the air intake. Has a push bar on the front and everybody thinks it’s a ghost car!

Always neem a big fan of these cars. Kind of a sleeper. Quicker than you think. Enjoy it.

Nice rig! I bought a 2019 Limited (Non SHO) and really enjoy it. Just take time to get used to the girth!

I know im a little late to comment. I just picked up a 2014 and its my first forced induction car as well and mine has the same specs and yours but mine is white. So far im in love with the car and man its surprised me. now i gotta get my windows tinted lol

Really cool video

Love it I live in Connecticut as well I have a Ford as well

My 2011 SHO is amazing so many features, also you can easily add more hp if you like!

These are very rare where I live in the North West. Every time I see one it's like seeing a unicorn. I had no idea they came in all wheel drive. But it is a bit on the heavy side.

HELLO YOU ARE SO RIGHT..THAT CAR LOOKS VERY GOOD..SOMEDAY I WANT TO OWN ONE..THEY ARE GREAT FAMILY AND SPORTS CAR ROLLED INTO ONE..

Great video bro! Love tour enthusiasm! I’m considering this over another SUV I’m a big guy too - 6-3 250 Think this is big enough? My other concern is the lower viewpoint when driving. This vehicle sits pretty high right?

My kinda cars right here. Right up there with The 95’ GT Cobra(I’ve only seen one) 69’ Hemi Charger, and of course The Hellcat Redeye, pretty sure the fastest production car ever made. Oh yeah, the 2002 or so Impala SS. JUST A V8, but still a beast. And the 99 Cadillac Deville Concorse. I owned one in Highschool. Bitch did 0-60 in about 5.5 no matter how many people you had in it. And I’m not gonna lie, my old Dodge Neon SS 5 speed was probably the most fun car I’ve ever owned.

I had a silver 1995 SHO back in the day. 5 speed Mazda made trans, V6 Yamaha made motor. 130mph all day long. Also quite the sleeper.... might have to look for another one.

Loved the pic in the Best Buy Parking lot! You forgot about the Gran Turismo!

Beautiful car

"Not sure how you rolled this over, but im sure someone figured it out" hahaha im contemplating on buying a 2011, and the more videos i watch about the SHOs, the more i get convinced

I got Lincoln MKS same motor all wheel drive love it more!!!

Just bought a 2011. Less than 30K miles. Mine is Ingot Silver too- btw, this is the wrong color for this car. Try and find one in red, blue or green. I’d even take one in black and I hate black (these look amazing murdered out). But anyway, these are one of the MOST underrated cars on the road. Legitimately quick, extremely comfortable, and the styling has aged remarkably well. They ate also, shockingly reliable. But this is not a competition for the Charger- it’s a cut rate american audi.

I've got a 2010 PP and a 2011 with Radar and all the other whistles. One for TRACK and the other for highway cruising.

Hi. Me & my girl drove Route 66 from Albuquerque to Chicago U know 1/2 way and we payed just 280 $ for gas back in 2015.This car is not thirsty!! When I used my brain in the right way it will be 7,5 liter/ km. It`s 34 m/g

Just bought a 16 PP last month that actually has videos on here. Every SHO owner tells me change the oil 3k. Ptu and trans every 15k. Enoy your ride. Looks great.

i have the limited didnt have the doe for the sho but thats next . nice ride

Yep, had a for taurus it is infact a boat. Your gonna like that trunk though.

Ugh picking up my 2017 sho black on black Monday after work 💯👹🏋‍♂️

Just bought one yesterday and it will be my 8th SHO

I’ve had my sho for a year and never knew about the button for the trunk on the outside I always use the key or button in the car lol

That car 🚗 is actually underrated

Why was I just chilling watching this guy?

I have a Ford Taurus sel silver just like this one I love it and yes ppl think I’m a cop to lol

That's a beautiful car I want one so bad

I got a 2014. Upgraded the turbos and exhaust…470hp 505 trq 11.20s @122 and around 18mpg lol

I wish I had that engine and that drive system in my 2014 Ford Flex. I love the car, it was spec'd by a wealthy man, but he wasn't car guy. I know, I know, if I looked around I could find a turbo'ed 4-drive Flex, or I could look for the Lincoln version of the SHO, or I could squeeze more horses out of my car but, I'll just sit here and complain.😉 You said something about " ... having to put the keys in the ignition ..." C'mon! My '88 Mustang GT doesn't even have cupholders!😄

Hey man! I’m looking at these cars because honestly I’m in love they look sick as hell and they are quick while also providing the space for my hobbies like skiing and running and whatnot. But I have seen some reliability issues, any problems so far? Lmk man! :)

I hope you have better luck with your Taurus. I put around 6K of repairs into my 2013 Taurus...maybe 2013 was a bad year. Had to replace water pump - 2.5K (Only Ford dealership can do it) Had to fix a gas leak not covered by warranty or recalls - 2.5K Had to replace Throttle Body - $400 (put it in myself) Now my engine light is still on, thought it was bad spark plugs...I replaced those but engine light still on. Good luck with your 2015!

More importantly you have great taste , great under rated cars , i,m jealous , side note they also made a V8 SHO Taurus before they discontinued them

5 Seconds 0-60 is No joke!...especially when you got AWD, and there's little chance of launch error...it's consistent times......I've owned muscle cars and Liter bikes around 2-3 seconds, and I will tell you anything under 5 seconds will start to get sketchy on average streets anyways(at least here on the East Coast). People are used to seeing 3 seconds and all these exaggerated numbers, Lol, but it's not realistic for average streets, gotta consider the Drive-Train setup, Road conditions and Driver too......3-5 seconds can be a blurry area depending on those factors.

I’m a girl with a black on black SHO fully loaded & I still love it. Have done a bit of work to modify it, but other than that, stock is still enough to beat all the boys on the road! 🙃

I owned a 2013 SHO with the PP. Maintained it meticulously and still the left turbo began to leak. Make sure you change the PTU fluid and don't listen to Ford when they say lifetime fluid. Plenty of ways to tune the car but I recommend keeping stock for a chance of longevity. Great cars when they run well...can be expensive nightmares when they don't.

I actually just purchased a 2015 Lincoln MKS ecoboost which is essentially the same car as the SHO just the Lincoln version. I also looked at a couple Quadraportes, some Audis such as the S4, RS6, and A8. Also looked at some of the Mercedes CLs... At the end of the day all of those cars tend to come with very hefty repair costs, and the only ones that can do fairly well in snowy winters where I live are the Audis. I chose the MKS because being a Ford made product, the repair bills are significantly less than anything German, and the AWD is top notch and as long as it can clear the snow, it can plow right through it. The very heavy weight combined with the AWD just plows right through snow. Of all the cars I looked at, the MKS with the ecoboost was hands down the best choice. Oh yeah, for such a heavy car, it REALLY scoots. lol.

This is way off the subject, what do you film yourself with a camera? Or a iPhone. Also what software do you use for editing ? Your short films are very well done 👍🏽

I'm considering purchase 2015 PP SHO deep blue. Make sure you change PTU fluids every 30K, that's important.

Didn't know ford partners with Sony electronics in addition to windows/MS... no wonder it still works 6 years later that was smart af on their part

If you upgrade to SYNC2 or SYNC3 system, you will then have Android Auto / Apple Carplay capability via USB - Easy Peasy and a better NAV experience with Google Maps or Waze (2016 Taurus Limited 103k miles and love it)
