2018 Ford Taurus

Ford Taurus and the Countless Technology Features

What makes the Ford Taurus such a popular full-size sedan year to year? These technology features might have something to do with it. Get your Taurus on the highway and set the cruise control, then watch how impressive the Adaptive Cruise Control really is. Instead of you braking to avoid slower cars, the system scans far ahead of the car and will slow down automatically and then resume the desired speed once that vehicle has changed lanes or been passed. Another technology feature in the Ford Taurus making driving safer is the Blind Spot Information System. This system scans around the sides of the car for any other vehicle that may have suddenly moved into the blind spots as you were about to change lanes. You'll get an alert to stay in the lane and avoid hitting them. The Ford Taurus is available today at Shawnee Mission Ford for you to take for a test drive.
