A good spot for mounting my 2nd amendment
A couple gun magnets on the driver & pax side of the console shifter seem to work, mounted in spots where both you and maybe a significant other's seat adjustments make for an easy grab, regardless of who's driving Not to mention, it's plenty strong enough to even hold a long gun (standard 16"...- BoSHO

Non pp 2012 Sho, how to disable traction control
Not sure how it works on pre-2013 SHOs, but what I do before driving my 2016: Settings - Driver Assist - Traction Control (uncheck) ... and the TC OFF icon appears on the right of the display- BoSHO

Thinking about the future
Amen to that! Forum is a blessing; a bunch of decent guys & gals sharing some good info and showing what power potential our 3.5 Ecoboost's have. And I sure hope the rumor is true, as we might settle for something along the lines of the old Mercury Marauder; that would be nice. In fact, call...- BoSHO

Thinking about the future
Hello JMS ... though I should defer to Kryptto (who's helping me) and others with way more technical expertise than I have, my wife went from a '17 Explorer Sport to a '21 ST - H&R Springs on both ... so, needless to say, I'd hope your wife goes ST ... major upgrade from the Sport; won't regret...- BoSHO

So this happened.
Ouch! Looks like some damn I-95 sh-- in South Florida; Reagan Turnpike for me. Most importantly, hope all is well for you & the passenger(s). And Merry Christmas! ... 'bout to go chow down & check out some NFL action with in-laws.- BoSHO

So you are looking to buy a Taurus SHO
What's up, Kryppto! Not to muck up your thread, but a run to Broward County & back today combined with your reference to a CarFax has me wondering: Was there more done under my hood than I know of? I need Kryptto to take a look and/or take 'er for a run. Let's say a hard push from Boynton Beach...- BoSHO

Dream car: Lamborghini, Porsche, or . . . ?
Studio460 listed four, but forgot one, so here's my five-plus. I know, way late, but here goes: 1. Porsche 911 Targa4 GTS (OK, not a Turbo S, but how could a Carrera NOT be #1? Car Guy license revoked! .. according to my Dad) 2. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series (700 HP AMG V12? Hmm?) 3. 2023...- BoSHO

S. Fla - SHO Owner '14 PP Darkside - Chrome Delete
Yeah dude, for real about that Palm Beach SHO Club ... because, while it stands to reason there won't be THAT many, there's got to be more than the three or four that I've seen in the last few years locally. That said, we'll be in touch. Would like to think I'd have some free time on Memorial...- BoSHO

Music to my ears, Jason. :thumb: When the time comes I shall hire you as my consultant / installer, if possible. :) That said, one of these days we must link up wherever, schedules permitting, of course ... shoot the sh-- for a little while, talk cars, etc. Should be a hoot!

Kryptto ... what's happening! Sorry for latey reply, but yeah, I was in there not long ago. (Nail in my tire.) Next up, thinking your basic ECU upgrade, but if I understood him correctly, he tries to stay away from those upgrades ... which I would probably need some help on. I think he was...- BoSHO

Get out, Bro! Small world. I'll have to ask about you next time I'm @ the Lake Worth shop, maybe even link up with one of these days for a little SHO-talk. And I'll be keeping a look out for you in the streets of South Florida. Peace! ✌- BoSHO

S. Fla - SHO Owner '14 PP Darkside - Chrome Delete
Anytime, Kryptto. Hmmm ... that's a good question. Though I would suspect that they do since they have ECU tuning options for all-wheel drive Ford Explorer Sport, i.e., they would have an all-wheel drive Dyno to test. Especially since they routinely dyno test tuned Mustangs. That said, I just...- BoSHO

Ditto! Though not the same setup on my 2016 Non-PP.:D Just bolt-on stuff ... but thinking about hitting Steeda in Pompano re: tuning options for this Gen 3.5 Ecoboost. Thinking it's the same Gen as what's in the wife's 17 Explorer Sport ... could be wrong. Anyway, shout out from Broward & Palm...- BoSHO

Exhaust/BOV Questions
Nice! Pretty much the same setup here, with Flowmaster 40 Race mufflers out back ... straight piped the resonator. Then combine the H&R Springs with running Traction Control off for a more balanced rear torque split, it feels very nice and much improved. Torque steer, squat, dive, all gone...- BoSHO

Sport Mode shifting
Hmmm ... interesting and good to know. Since the first thing I do each drive is turn the TC off in my 2016, always running in manual mode, as well. (With the H&Rs, no torque steer, no dive, flat as ****, just lovely. :) How soon they forget how short & compact car-like our 112, 113-ish...- BoSHO

Initial thoughts...
SeanDSHO, I would humbly recommend at least the lowering springs for a few reasons. For the price? Huge improvements functionally (especially with TC off; my preferred mode) ... and cosmetically. She hunkers down quite nicely, ride height arguably 1 of the 2 things Ford missed (including...- BoSHO

The Difference in Lowering H&R
Hunker down you hairy dawg!! Nice ... liking the dark blue. And I saw you try to sneak in that 'was driving a CTS-V', or words that effect. Uh-huh. Also nice, but fully disclosure: V8 junkie here. That said, this SHO - I'd argue - only really needs to be lowered. Not a true sport sedan...- BoSHO
