Got My GT!

[Rocket Man]

Very nice. That's one of only 3 or 4 colors I would consider. Since my current car is white I think I want one of the reds or blues, but yours looks really nice. Some black accents would really set it off. Maybe the emblems. And I assume you are going to tint the windows?

Hi, congrats on your new ride.

Nice looking car. Few white cars are impressionable...the Mustangs are the exception.

OK. Here are the rest of the Pics. I waited too long and the sun is almost overhead. Not good for pics.

Looks beautiful, big congratulations!

I went to the dealer this afternoon to get some settings questions answered. After that, I took a ride on some straight two lane roads. There were a few traffic lights, so I got to do some shifting and acceleration - limited to about 4,500rpm. That Ford Bullitt shift knob really feels great.
I put the exhaust in Track mode. I have to admit, it sounds great. However, it's not too bad in Normal mode either!
Gas mileage is really pathetic, 12.5mpg, but then I've only driven around in the city about 40 miles. I've got to find some twisty roads and then highway to check mileage.

The car looks great, OP, and I like the Bullitt shift knob with that interior!

For the first 1,000 miles, my MPG was pretty bad. It's gotten better over the last few fill-ups

After getting car we took a 600 mile RT trip, averaged 22.5 mpg. city and highway driving, mostly highway.. Pretty good for not being broke in yet.

Ford "nicely" put a Positive connection point under that red plastic cap next to the fuse box. The negative clamp is attached to a protruding bolt (longer than the others) near the strut tower. It looks like an obvious negative side connection for charging or jumping. Yes, it is working.
BTW: Thank you for your service. My wife is retired Army as well.

Well, changed things to what your picture showed and......wish I had known this before, so much easier to hook up the NOCO...thanks for posting.

Congratulations on the car, looks great.

Am curious why you need the battery charger in such new car? Never had to use one in any of my cars…

For me, use the NOCO 5 more as a maintainer. The car is a recreational vehicle for us, stays in the garage most of the time., the F150 is our DD. Once weather stabilizes, it'll see more road time.

It's not for the car, it's for the battery. If you're only driving a vehicle a few times a month, it's good practice to keep the battery at full charge using a very low amperage battery maintainer. This is especially true in cooler or colder climates but should be done regardless of climate if you're not driving it often enough to keep the battery at full charge.
