2006 Ford Five Hundred

The 2006 Ford Five Hundred has changed little, but it continuously offers drivers with amazing features, design and performance to be a major force in the full-size sedan market. Coming with a 3.0L V-6 Duratec 30 Engine the Ford Five Hundred is able to produce 203HP and 207FTLB of torque that can be mated to either a 6-speed automatic transmission or a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for improved gas mileage and drivability.

The 2006 Ford Five Hundred’s engine is a Double-Over-Head-Cam design with four-valves-per-cylinder for a total of 24 valves on a 10:1 compression ratio design for great low-end torque and high-end horsepower capability. Weighing in at 3,664 pounds the Five Hundred attains an EPA-estimated 21MPG in the city and 29MPG on the highway.
