2008 Ford Taurus X Limited AWD
By Jo Ann Holt
The 208 Ford Taurus X
Limited All-Wheel Drive is noth-
ing like the Taurus sedan that I
remember driving years ago.
This is a great-looking full-size
crossover with a 3.5 liter V-6
engine, with 6-speed automatic
transmission that delivers 263
HP. The Taurus X is actually an
improved version of the discon-
tinued Ford Freestyle.
Ford’s designers borrowed
step-up headlamps and distinc-
tive three-bar chrome grille for
the Taurus X from their popular
Edge, also adding a restyled
hood and new shape front fend-
ers and fascia. Headlamps and
fog lamps are mounted in
chrome surrounds, and Taurus X
also sports a new rear fascia with
tail lamps also “borrowed” from
the Edge.
There is more than enough
room for the family and a few
friends with three rows of seat-
ing, and the ability to configure
it however you like with one-
touch, flip and fold second row
seating. There is plenty of space
for even the 6 footers in the fam-
ily, and great visibility thanks to
the stadium style seating that
makes the third row higher than
the second row.
With the third and second,
rows folded, Taurus X has 85.2
cubic feet of cargo space behind
the first row so you can haul
items up to nine-feet long.
Other features included on
the test model were voice acti-
vated DVD-based navigation
system and SIRIUS Satellite Ra-
dio. For long trips, there’s an
available DVD player with an 8-
inch screen to entertain the “are
we there yet” crowd.
plus easy loading thanks
to a power rear lift gate. The
Taurus X also has a roof rack that
adds to its rugged design look.
Rated the safest 7-passen-
ger crossover in the U.S., the
Taurus X also received a top
safety pick rating from the Insur-
ance Institute of Highway Safety.
With standard anti-lock brakes
and AdvanceTrac® electronic
stability control, the Taurus X
earned five-stars in all govern-
ment crash test categories.
The CUV’s intelligent all-
wheel-drive system is also simi-
lar to the Ford Edge AWD sys-
tem, incorporating an active, on-
demand electro-mechanical cen-
ter coupler that provides a pre-
cise amount of torque front to
rear—up to 100% to either axle.
This system anticipates wheel
slip before it happens.. .a feature
I was able to test successfully just
this morning on a slippery drive
to the airport!
The Ford Taurus X sells
for $26,855-$32,425. The only
thing I didn’t like about driving
this very safety-conscious and
stylish CUV was the in-town gas
mileage, which was supposed to
average 15-16 mpg but I could
almost swear it wasn’t that good.
On the highway it promised to
average 22-24 mpg, but unfor-
tunately I wasn’t able to do much
freeway driving, so I spent a lot
of time at the local gas pump.
