2019 Ford Taurus SHO: the last one

This record's own dek describes 2019 as the final year in the SHO chronology: the 365-hp twin-turbo V6, standard AWD, and the optional 3.16:1 Performance Package. This record's own overview states that Ford's 2019 Taurus brochure lists the SHO beside the SE, SEL, and Limited, with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 rated at 365 hp, the peak printed as 5,550 rpm, and 350 lb-ft across 1,500 to 5,000 rpm on 93-octane fuel, paired with a paddle-shift six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, EPA-rated at 16 mpg city, 24 highway, and 19 combined.

This record's own overview states that Ford again quotes 5.5 seconds from 0 to 60 mph and a 14.4-second quarter-mile, and that the SHO's option list includes the Driver Assist Package, the SHO Performance Package with its 3.16 final drive, enhanced suspension, high-performance front brake pads, Alcantara-trimmed wheel, and P245/45R20 summer-only tires, an engine block heater, a power moonroof, and navigation. This record's own overview states that no production figures or reliable prices were found, a statement this record's own prices section appears to qualify rather than fully bear out, since two figures are documented there from a secondary pricing site.

This record's own prices section documents an MSRP of $42,975 excluding a $1,095 destination charge, taxes, and fees, both figures from a secondary pricing site with the effective date not stated, rather than from the brochure itself. This record's own production row carries a null value and a status of not-published for the year, with its own note stating plainly that no published figure was found.¹

This record's own engine entry carries a note stating that Ford's 2010–2016 brochures print the power peak as 5,500 rpm, against the 5,550 rpm printed in this record's own 2019 source, the same discrepancy this record's own engine data notes without resolving into a single figure. This record's own specifications section documents the 3.16:1 Performance Package final drive ratio and EPA ratings of 16 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, three specification entries in all for the final model year of this subject.

Seven exterior colors are documented for the year without production counts: Magnetic, Ingot Silver, and Blue, alongside Agate Black, and White Platinum Metallic Tri-coat, Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, and Burgundy Velvet Metallic Tinted Clearcoat at extra charge. A single interior is documented, leather with Mayan Gray Miko inserts, the only interior entry carried in this record for the year, with no interior code given at all.

This record's own identification section documents SHO exterior content as Agate Black power heated mirrors, dual exhaust with chrome tips, HID headlamps, LED park lamps with Piano Black bezels, a rear decklid spoiler, SHO front floor mats, and SHO embroidery on the front seats. This record's own performance section documents a Ford-claimed 5.5-second 0-60 mph time and 14.4-second quarter-mile, both marked as based on Ford testing rather than an independent test, and its own conflicts section is empty for the year despite the power-peak-rpm discrepancy already noted in this record's own engine data.
