was able to verify this is real. came out 11 days ago. safety recall 25S19. 269 Lincoln Aviators, Ford Bronco, Explorer, F-150, Mustang, and Rangers are affected.
Currently advance notice with an expected ETA of Q2 2025. here is the full description:
"On all of the affected vehicles, some inner...
Grabber Blue is such a good color. i got my DH in it because originally i was just alright feeling about it, Race Red was out because i wanted a metallic color, Blue Ember was out because i dont like the appearance package interior, and everything else was meh at best (i refuse to contribute to...
i dunno if i mentioned it, but Ford is cutting costs elsewhere too. Raptors (F-150, Bronco, Ranger) no longer have unique keyfobs, stuff like that. there are no US Ford vehicles except the Mach-E that come with a built-in door code, its now sent to us dealers as accessories that we have to install

also, for the Brembo brakes, you will need at least 19 inch wheels. the only Mustang that ever required 20 inch wheels for brake clearances was the 2020-2022 GT500.
additionally, technically...
if you want an oil cap that says 5W50 on it here's the part number NR3Z-6766-A, $17 before tax. you also dont have to use Motorcraft, all 5W50 oils are generally the same
i can confirm on a US model Dark Horse that 6th gear does cut off around 6800rpm. its super annoying when you're in the groove, shifting at redline, then suddenly that snaps you out of it. the thing is that there is a reason to bring it all the way to redline; the peak power is at 7500rpm...
VMP's stage 1 and 2 are the same as Whipple's, but VMP decided to make a stage 3 and 4, too. i dont think there is much or any power difference out of the box
keep in mind that i have never owned a supercharged vehicle, nor done any major modification like this, so its worth double-checking what i say here. everything i mention is either stuff i have picked up from the forums or product pages.
if you are going for the stage 2, here are some things i...
big thing: dont drill if you dont need to. find an existing body plug and use that. if you do absolutely need to drill a new hole, ensure the grommet you use is properly sized. the bigger issue will be getting that wire into the door. also, dont let the wire hang just freely, use something like...
What opinion do you have about the Mustang that might be considered a "hot take" or controversial? please be respectful of others' opinions
for me its two:
1. the 2010-2012 S197 tail lights look better than the 2013-2014 versions
2. the TR-3160 is not as much of an upgrade as people say it is...
between the two, i say go for Blue Ember. it looks amazing plus is unique to the Dark Horse. Vapor Blue can be found on the Mustang, Escape, Explorer, and Mach-E, as well as the Lincoln Aviator and Corsair
27,000 happy miles, no regrets at all here. i daily drive mine as well as do road trips (Antelope Pass Vista and San Jose so far) and autocross. as for the cooled seats, it might be theoretically possible to add the cooled seats if you can find someone selling theirs. i helped someone last year...
i think the Mustang has an official towing capacity of 1000lbs, except on the Dark Horse where its 0lbs. same was true on the S550, EB, V6, and GT technically could tow 1000lbs. GT350, GT500, Mach 1, and Bullitt could tow 0lbs
i am not condoning street racing, but i will say that people should expect a steady rise in the amount of street racing the more tracks are closed. here in AZ, Arizona Motorsports Park is being shut down sometime very soon. its gonna displace autocross and some track driving, as well as remove...
when i had my EcoBoost S550 and did some Uber Eats, i used some combination of two different phone holders that fit together. i stuck it to the glovebox and it would hold for as long as i was making deliveries. my phone is either in my pocket or on the wireless charger getting cooked. i do...
