Hauled some 2x4's... in a SHO

[yowen]

In case you were wondering the SHO will fit AT LEAST twenty 2x4's with the trunk closed. I had an '06 Fivehundred, which a lot of you probably know is somewhat related, platform-wise, that was just as impressive at hold large loads, haha.

When we traded in a Honda Odyssey for our SHO the wife immediately started complaining that we couldn't haul anything compared to the Odyssey. I showed her when I took 2 steel exterior household doors to a buddy's house to be spray painted in the trunk with the back seat folded forward and the trunk lid closed.

Here's my sho loaded down ready for our move... Gross weight with trailer is 6900 lbs in this pic.

I have to give it to both of you guys, as well as any others lurking in the shadows.....

It's really kind of cool seeing the versatility of these vehicles being put to good use.

So many of us yearn for the speed & performance aspect(s) that we sometimes lose sight of just how conveniently flexible these cars can be.

Thanks a bunch for posting! :thankyou:

Would be curious to see others follow your lead(s). opcorn:

I use mine for fishing trips too... She hauls a 20' John boat like its not even there.

Cool! I've been thinking about getting a jetski to haul with the Taurus.

This is an area where SHO>MKS.  No folding seats in the MKS.  There is a pass through in the armrest....which I guess is helpful for when you are moving a rake or broom........   

The MKS does have heated rear seats though - not sure about the SHO or if this might account for the design difference.

SHO's rear seats are heated also

This certainly looks like the biggest item I have ever seen behind an SHO.

Well then, that stinks us for MKS owners - did a search for reasons and some speculated they dont fold to keep the MKS quieter.  Meh.  I would rather have folding seats for 1 db difference....

What hitch are you all using? I will be towing a light weight aluminum 2 motorcycle trailer around next year going to track days... Trailer will have between 150-250# tongue weight and will be less than 2500# loaded.

My SHO is not a truck. LOL

Nice bob

I'm using a curt class 3 hitch.  I dont have a truck, and the sho does great towing. Hell it makes more hp and torque than a lot of trucks on the road anyway!
