I don't have the exact end date, but Ford is very close to ending production for this Model Year (MY). It looks like your order was received and acknowledged by Ford. There are two broad issues which could have prevented your car from being built: 1) lack of an allocation and 2) material build...

Being a mule, I realize they could use any combination of parts. The mufflers and exhaust tips are different. Maybe this is, "...new addition to the stable.", we'd heard about before.

I'd set that guidance aside, seek out another shop and look at their work. I'm using Xpel PPF, 10 mil in thickness, warrantied for 10 years. https://gleamworksdetailing.ca/how-thick-is-ppf/ https://www.protechautoshield.com/blog/paint-protection-film-thickness If using the right materials...

I see the issue as less of, "Dood, the Man is really screwing me over with these taxes!", and more of, "You can own a car if you want, but we'd rather have people use public transportation." Culture and location are factors. While the Netherlands might have gearheads pursuing their passions, I...

https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/first-oil-change-and-analysis.132878/ ^ This link is to a similar thread of Oil Analysis, focusing on the first ones for an Coyote Gen 3. While the generations differ, I'd expect many of the overall trends to be the same. I've recently completed an oil...

There is the risk of a dockworkers' strike starting as soon as Tuesday, 01 October 24. Details follow in the article below. People in US/EUR awaiting parts and vehicles, businesses preparing for Christmas season could be most affected...

A standard GT with an auto is using a 3:15 gear in the rear. A GT with Performance Pack and auto has a 3:55. It also reads the 3:55 is a stand-alone option. If you were driving a 3:15 in standard driving mode, I can see the car feeling sluggish. If driving the latter, in Sport Mode, I'd expect...

If I'm reading your post correctly, they will not be following the Oil Life Monitor, but tracking oil changes by mileage? How many oil changes do you think you'll have done each year? Engine air filter will be once every 30,000 mi / 48,000 km. Cabin filter will be once every 20,000 mi / 32,000...

Two general questions: Q1: Were things torqued to spec as the car was sitting on its tires, the suspension loaded? Q2: Was an alignment, front and rear been accomplished afterwards?

I had PPF, tint and ceramic work done by a local detail shop. I took my wheels and tires to them. Not only did they do the tire install, they ceramic coated the rims. I tend to stay away from national chains and give the business to a local owner. Not only does the money help someone in the...

Another for OEM and dealer install. The techs that install it will be most familiar with calibrating any of Ford's systems, if needed. You know the quality of the glass is the same as original. Edit, BTW, three weeks for the glass...there might be some additional time to schedule an install...

Handling-wise, I'd expect the fastback to always be better. The solid roof reduces flexing throughout the car. Aero, same: the fastback will be better. Air crosses a surface much like a light, silk sheet. The slightest disruptions cause airflow to be lost across the surface. A vert top isn't...

Gen 3 engine, but my initial results were similar: - High copper - High silicone - Lower-than-expected flashpoint - Lower-than-expected viscosity - No appreciable coolant - No appreciable fuel Recently completed my third oil change. I expect to see my numbers close, if not at, universal...

Wasn't sure which thread you preferred, so I went with the most recent. Reno, NV, uncovered, black roof and vert fabric top. I feel a vert is going to be hotter than other cars, all else being same. I noticed covered parking in some of the photos. If paying a bit more for a covered slot is an...

I'd encourage everyone to review the laws in their state. In many, once you're 25 mph, 40 kmh over the posted limit, court, jail, impounding of vehicle, license suspension, become additional factors. Every area will be different. Talking to a local LEO, they had discretion below a certain speed...

Regarding inspections and the pick-up process, I can only speak to my experience and what I learned. My car arrived at the dealer with seven others (all different models). The dealer prep team was comprised of three people. The time for them to prep my car and the paperwork was three business...

When I check pressures, I check them manually, using an AutoMeter 2160 gauge. It's a simple, well-built, analog gauge. Some like digital gauges. https://www.autometer.com/performance-analog-tire-pressure-gauge.html As virtually every run involves spirited driving, I check pressures often. Once...

The following thread has several pages of responses, to give you a feel for others' mileage. https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/how-many-miles-were-on-your-car-at-delivery.159332/ The mileage you received the vehicle at would not be unusual. At the low end, 8 miles, 13 km. At the upper...

If you feel you continue to experience things outside the norm, one thing I always recommend on the auto is checking the fluid level. Sometimes, from the factory fill, settling, etc., cars are low and need to be topped up. While having that checked, you could discuss the symptoms with the...

^ This. My Tremec MT is no different. Cold, she's a bit of a diva. Difficult shifting, often. Once warmed-up: bliss. I'm generally pretty soft on my car until I get up to temps. Once fully-warm and everything is stable, it's a different car in sounds, shifts and other behaviors. And that makes...
