Robh Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Not sure if there is anyone out there that works for Ford Motor company, but periodically, I have been trying find out the VIN number and date of the very last 2009 Ford Taurus X that was ever made. I know that car was produced last in February of 2009 and it was a short run vehicle of only 2 years before being supplanted by the Flex. But in 08, I ordered a 09 Taurus X while on military assignment in Guam and I still have this car. In the 15 years I have had it, its been shipped to hawaii and driven back and forth to Peal Harbor to work for many years. then i took it to the mainland and drove it across country several times from everywhere from Miami to Los angeles a few times. then back and forth from Virginia to Utah and now the car is back in hawaii and has never had single break down since new which is incredible to me. I have not even ever needed to change the brake pads. Only tires, a few batteries and oil changes. So the super reliability of this car has made me more curious about if it could possibly be the very last Taurus X that was ever made since the door jam sticker says it was made in 2/09 which was the final month year they were made at that Chicago plant where they now make Lincoln Aviators and Ford Explorers. If there is anyone out there that works for Ford or knows if I just happen to have the very last one or not, I'd appreciate someone to let me know. its mostly just a curiosity thing. At the time I bought this car, I figured it to be like any other car you buy, have for a while and then replace in 10 years or so. but because of the above, I just keep it. It even still looks like a new car. most people think its only a couple years old. Thanks to anyone who can help me determine this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Oval Guide Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The records certainly exist, however who has them and who can access them are the issue, especially for a product that dates back so far. Even if this was for a Mustang, you'd have a hard time finding this information even for a few years back. It will be interesting to see if someone has this.

Glad you kept her running all these years....do you have any pictures of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
