Year to Year Changes
2001 Ford Taurus:
Only minor changes marked the 2001 models. Lower anchors for rear child seats were installed, and the fuel tank grew from 16- to 18-gallon capacity. The 200-hp V6 was standard in the SEL and optional for the SES sedan and SE wagon. Antilock brakes were standard for the SES and SEL, optional on other Tauruses.
2002 Ford Taurus:
Taurus made some previously optional features standard for 2002, and former option packages become separate models. Optional on SE at midyear was a Wood Package, complete with wood steering-wheel trim. SE, SES, and SEL sedans and wagons gained new submodels.
2003 Ford Taurus:
Unchanged for 2003.
2004 Ford Taurus:
The only changes for '04 were mildly revised front and rear styling.
2005 Ford Taurus:
Taurus sedans and wagons soldier on with fewer trim levels for 2005; LX and SES versions are gone.
2006 Ford Taurus:
The wagon was dropped as an option, as was the 201-hp V6 engine.
