The Taurus X Eddie Bauer AWD model also is equipped with a new four-wheel-drive system that provides improved traction.

Other standard features include an AdvanceTrac traction control system, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, stability control, and a Safety Canopy System consisting of side head curtain airbags, as well as an AM/FM stereo system with a CD player and an MP3 input jack.

Options include the Ford SYNC hand's-free wireless communications sytem and a DVD family entertainment system. A power rear liftgate is also available as an option.
