markssho Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Per the site: "Our new Taurus SHO is quite a vehicle. It tows this 31 Classic Airstream with incredible power, stability and returns decent fuel economy." Interesting towing video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mAxnCtkkmU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHO-MAN Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 That will be one mod I will not be interested in doing, I could smell the transmission fluid burning up watching that SHO tow that big silver can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm in agreement with all of you.... There will be absolutely NO TOWING of ANY KIND with my SHO. Period. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoBrick Bob Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 If you tow... get a Brick! I can do 0-60 in under 11 sec. towing my 4,000 lb boat! (Kidding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve o Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Just because it has the power to do it..... doesnt mean you should. The car has the power and weight to tow, but I'm betting the body is as thin as litmus paper to bolt a hitch to. These guys need a head check. I'll use my truck to tow my camper.:clock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLIP-4-SHO Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 That is why I bought a 2005 F350 Crew Dually. My SHO is for ME! Not family towing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO Rod Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Just because it has the power to do it..... doesnt mean you should. The car has the power and weight to tow' date=' but I'm betting the body is as thin as litmus paper to bolt a hitch to. These guys need a head check. I'll use my truck to tow my camper.:clock:[/quote'] I bought and installed a hitch on my SHO for the purpose of attaching a bike rack without going to route of one that rests on the paint. The hitch I purchased mounts solidly to the unibody structure and I'm sure it can hold much more than it will ever see while I own the car. That being said, I'd never tow our camper with my SHO (that's what I use the Aviator for) since there is probably not enough transmission cooling capacity for that extra load. Now with child number 3, we'd never fit everyone and the gear in the SHO either. My wife refuses to ride in the trunk. -Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve o Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I did enjoy it. It's a little much though for me to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
