it seems as of the 2025 model year, Mustangs will no longer be coming with the fabric pouch that would normally hold the owners manual and supplements. no doubt to cut costs just that little bit, but those savings are definitely not getting put towards the customer given the harsh price...
im sure most or all of you do, but i figured i would mention it because there is a Dark Horse at my dealer right now getting the Ford Performance kit, and it came with the wrong throttle body. instead of the 92mm 2020-2022 GT500 throttle body, it came with what i assume is the old 60mm twin...
i had enough of the mystery of how that row of buttons worked, so i once again put a part of my car at risk for the greater good. i can definitely say that i did not expect this result
back of the buttons, with a strange 8-pin ribbon cable coming out of the pony button, which hooks to the back...
no more going to your local vinyl shop to get an imperfect recreation of the factory stripes, or piecing out the kit and finding part numbers and all. Ford Accessories now has the factory stripe options up for sale, at $460 for the stripes on their own, which is $15 cheaper than getting them...
i just went down to the Pavilions for Rock n Roll Car Show, and it turns out there is new management. from what i heard, the De Rito Partners Development, who hosts the show, decided to ditch the old guys running it and put in their place the company Arizona Events Group. talking with the old...

i just wanted to share some information about Ford from the perspective of someone who works in service and was a service advisor for a little bit
Everyone but sales hates the mark-ups too
trust me when i say that basically everyone else in the dealership aside from the people in sales hates...
yesterday i did an Autocross event, and after seeing what it did to my tires which i also daily, i realized i need to find track tires sooner than later. i originally wanted to go with the Kumho V720 ACRs because the rears are 355 width and they are supposedly amazing. they're also banned from...
In all of the affected vehicles, a fuel injector is missing an O-ring support disc. A fuel injector missing an O-ring support disc may leak fuel. Customers may notice a fuel odor both inside and outside the vehicle and/or may experience difficulty starting their vehicle. If leaked fuel...
i dont know if anyone actually cares about this, but i found out something while trying a test build for the FORScan team; the 2025 Explorer has no IPC module. both the infotainment and gauge cluster are controlled by the APIM now
really interesting choice, but it make the "map view" feature's...

You can get it in any color that you can get a 2024 Mustang in, but...

When locking, unlocking, or using the hazards on a Job 2 Mustang, they are now sequential.
It's not due to new parts, only software, which makes me think that the coming soon OTA update to fix a few things will add this, as Job 2 Mustangs get pre-loaded with the update.
No more in-line...
