Ford revived the SHO nameplate in 2010 on the 6th generation Taurus platform, swapping the previous model's V8 for a potent 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6. The new engine produced 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, sent through a standard all-wheel-drive system and a 6-speed automatic transmission. It was a modern American take on the all-weather sport sedan, offering surprising performance in a large, unassuming package.
The SHO appeals to enthusiasts as a modern Q-ship, blending daily usability with impressive acceleration. Models from 2013-2019 received a facelift with better brakes, revised suspension tuning, and an improved interior, making them more desirable. The current market is still developing, but with an average sale price around $15,746, the SHO represents a significant performance value.
As these cars age out of daily-driver duty, collectibility is tied to mileage and condition. The wide sales range, from $800 to $33,000, reflects the difference between high-mileage examples needing work and pristine, low-mileage survivors. Unmodified cars are rare and command a premium among collectors who appreciate the car's sleeper status.
Buying Tips
- The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) is a known weak point. Check for fluid leaks or a burning gear oil smell, as a failure is a costly repair.
- The 3.5L EcoBoost engine's internal water pump is driven by the timing chain. A failure can be catastrophic, so listen for any whining noises from the engine and check service history for replacement.
- Like many direct-injection engines, the intake valves are prone to carbon buildup. On higher-mileage cars, budget for a walnut-blasting service to restore performance.
- Inspect the turbos for oil leaks or blue smoke from the exhaust. While generally reliable, they are expensive to replace.
- Test all electronics thoroughly, especially the MyFord Touch infotainment system on 2013-2015 models, which can be slow and glitchy.
