An extensive selection of standard and optional features. An immensely spacious truck. A very comfortable ride. An attractive and quiet interior. Top-notch crash test scores. All this and more are included on the 2011 Ford Taurus, available in Vandalia, OH at Beau Townsend Ford Lincoln. Available in SE, SEL, Limited, and SHO trim levels, the 2011 Taurus comes powered by either a 3.5-liter V6 engine that generates 263 horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque (every trim but SHO) or a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that puts out 365 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque (SHO).
