The 3.5L 6-cyl Taurus: common questions

Which Taurus years have the 3.5L 6-cyl?

2008–2019 — 13 model years in our VIN decode, across 84 factory configurations and 145,981 VINs.

What does a 3.5L 6-cyl Taurus cost?

$9,499 is the typical asking price across the 1,912 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between engines.

Is the 3.5L 6-cyl turbocharged?

Yes — every configuration in this family decodes as turbocharged.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

3.5L Ti-VCT — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
