Product Overview

Ford Taurus 4 is an affordable large sedan in production from 2000 to 2007. It is available with two naturally-aspirated V6 engines that displaced 3.0 liters.
The Ford Taurus 4 is limited to V6 engine, which requires an additional balance shaft and produces neither good sound, good torque, or good power response. The engine was paired to an old-school 4-speed automatic that also did not shine.
As a budget car, the Taurus 4 had a suspension setup to match. FWD did not do it much favor, either.
