That color looks like Grabber Blue and Lighting Blue smashed and produced the most beautiful little Velocity Blue baby ever. That color alone makes me want to trade up...
Perfect explanation of the differences. Since the drivetrains are relatively the same most of the issues will be the same as the 2018. The ticking is nothing to worry about honestly unless you don't have extended warranty or plan to mod. The 10r80 will still have its own issues. I spoke to ford and a few of their engineers about it. Luckily the shifting issues will get resolved woth software. Mine shifts hard intermittently and the way its explained is that its caused by the adaptive driving programming. The car adjust to your driving and increases the transmission pressures depending on your needs. Hopefully they tweak it later so that ot doesnt take as long to calm things down lol.
I am so glad I didn’t spend 50k on a 2018 GT. I was very close to doing it in late 2017 before I came to my senses and got a hardly used 2016. Very disappointing to see all the issues with the 2018 Mustang. You are right about the options. They made them better for 2019.
No major difference between the 2018 and 2019 models. I was fortunate to get a great deal on a GT (automatic) in June on a Mustang that was being trucked in and arrived at the dealership with just 3 miles on it.
I bought my base '18 with A10, 3.55's, spoiler delete, black out package for 34k. The only regret I have is not being able to find the 1 year only crimson color anywhere nearby (searched 3 states) with an A10 and 3.55's. Mine is completely built and I still have less than 40k in the car. Love it! I don't buy cars with all the bells n whistles for 2 very good reason...1. I'm cheap and am only interested in going fast. 2. The more bells n whistles you have, the more things on the car are likely to fail, break as the vehicle ages which will cost you money and time (if not still under warranty). I usually don't even have the stereo on when I drive the car because I love how my longtubes/straight piped exhaust sound!
My 2019 GT is in process of which I'm waiting for the VIN to be issued. :| Oh man the wait.... is killer. I've test driven a couple of 2018 GT's and 1 2019..... best advice.... get the 2019.
Oxford White w/ Black Accent Package. Only seen one other car in the area with that colorway which looks incredible. Once I get closer to the delivery date, I'll post up a video of delivery akin to yours and hope to represent the West Coast contingent of GT owners! :)
This is great information man thanks! I'm planning on getting an 18 or 19 sometime next year so we'll see what I end up with haha but I'm really digging that velocity blue! Just wow! Love that color
Stop apologizing so much for a long video brother. This is the exact video I needed to see and hear to make my decision of going with the 19. Been looking and researching and ro hear it coming from u I certainly dont want an 18 with possible trans problems etc
It seems like every time I convince myself I'll be fine with saving up for a used mustang they add something that makes me want a new one, one like that new blue and the B&O sound system 😍
Do you know if they fixed the sub with B&O? My 2012 5.0 the Shaker 1000 was really good, but my 15 5.0 the sub is pretty lacking. Hoping the fixed it and went with something better.
Just ordered a ruby red 2019 GT 10 speed with 3.55 gears, active exhaust, and B&O play with showstopper red interior. They said it would be about 10-12 weeks delivered. Can’t wait.
I'm glad you are loving your car! That's what its all about! I do miss your Hellcat as it was almost identical to mine except for not being manual, but have you seen the same issues on 2019 GTs that are present on 2018 GTs? I guess I'm not sure what Ford did to solve pitch fork issues, or piston slap. Just curious what you've seen on Mustang forums. Take care bro!
I dig buying brand new if your going to keep the car 7 plus years... I had a 2014 GT with Track Pack paid about 42 out the door.... 4 years later dealership trade in's were offering me 20-23K That is a 50% depreciation of sorts. But hell even my low mileage Audi S4 the dealerships play the same game. Either by one year old, and haggle, or purchase new... BUT!!!! Build the car YOU want with EVERY Option you can afford. You can even get the Ford Factory to paint a custom color....
Completely disagree... You can get some excellent deals on the 18' five or $6000 off sticker is what I got off of the base GT... and that makes a big difference.. Certainly nothing wrong with over $6000 on a performance package level two I would say because the car is warranted. If I can get a performance package two with the 10 speed automatic in the future, ... I'm probably going to do something stupid 🤣
If people can find 18s with 6k off then awesome. But I said in the video a few times that there may not be 2018 models left with every option on them, because some people might want that stuff so they may not have a choice but to go 2019. It basically comes down to B&O audio system and auto rev match (like I talked about in video) that are the biggest differences between the two years.
Lots of 18s available...

So I can buy a 2018 Mustang for $10,000 cheaper and go the SAME SPEED and look nearly identical, so why the hell would I want a 2019??? You know because everyone has $50,000 just laying around lol We just bought a 2018 GT 2 weeks ago and love it!
no not everyone has 50k laying around, nether do I. Thats why it is financed....If you already have a 2018 then awesome, you have a great car so enjoy it.
Got lucky 10 days ago with a crazy discount on an '18 Premium, black accent pkg, 401A w/ S&S, auto (thought I had to have 6 sp, but really love the auto and very glad to have it), and active exhaust. Lowering springs next. Wheels tires maybe Xmas, but those 19" black pkg rims are growing on me and they will look even better once I drop the car an inch. Traded a very, very clean, loaded, low mileage (17k) Caddy ATS AWD coupe. ZERO regrets.
sounds like you got an awesome car for a great price. Congrats. I love the auto. This is my first auto mustang and its magic. I have been thinking about springs as well. I will probably go with BMR springs though.
All I know is I'm glad I special order my 2018 GT. I hear the new GT model will not arrive until 2022, with no major changes taking place until then. Therefore, my 2018 GT will easily pass as current year model until then.
I live in the UK. The 2018 model was only released at the end of July 2018. Ordered my 5.0 in magnetic with all the options except Recaro,s. current delivery date is the 16 th March 2019!!!!
If you're not picky, go to autotrader and search for "Mustang GT" and select "leather seats" and you'll find quite a few 2018 GT Premium units for around 35k.
Hi Zander, what do you think about the differences in the drive. On the used market, there is a difference of about $10k between the FM and FN models here in Australia. From your video I don''t think the upgrades are worth that?
To get X Plan pin # Join Mustang Club of America Request a pin#. Get a no bickering killer price from dealer. Price is on the invoice. No haggle. They show you the invoice.
Absolutely nothing wrong with the 2018's. I've put 20,000KM on my 2018 GT Premium PP1 with the 10R80 and have had zero issues. 2019 with MT86 will STILL blow your shift forks and could still come with a 'tick'. Mines been driven on track multiple times and driven it from Toronto, Ontario to Orlando, FL and back. First oil change at 2,700KM, second at 8,000KM and another at 14,000KM. Just take care of your cars and enjoy them.
Spoke with you before. My 2019 Mustang GT that I ordered on June 21, 2018 has been delayed again. My MSRP was around 46K and some change. The dealer gave me a price of $43,756 before incentives, which isn't official price and will be negotiated at the time of delivery. He stated he could not add incentives at the time of ordering because they may change by the time its delivered. Anyway I hope I can add the X Plan with my first responder discount on top of the $43,756. From your experience and knowledge do you think I would be able to apply both to the $43,756? Also do I get the X plan Pins instant making the price around 41k?
I don't think you can add x plan at this point. There is no negotiating x plan, its a set price. It sounds like you are already beating x plan anyway since they have shaved off 3k. You can still fight for a better price but the numbers are supposed to have been agreed to at time of order. But def keep up the fight for a good deal. as far as x plan, since the car has already been ordered, I would ask your dealer first about what if you had x plan (before you spend money to get it). I hope that makes sense lol. But, yes, if you signed up for the x plan, follow the steps to get the pin. www.mustang.org/content.php/149-Benefits-of-MCA-Membership and www.fordpartner.com/partnerweb/jsp/howitworks/fordpartner_rules.htm
Thank you for reply. Yes we agreed on a price, well sort of. He assured me it won't be any higher than the $43,756 but could actually be lower at the time of purchase. He stated that they couldn't have an official price with other incentives/deals until delivery date. I will update you when I receive the car or have new info. Anyway, thanks again for the help. Also I'm really enjoying your channel and content, keep up the great videos.
Hey there that new blue is sharp man!!! My 16 gt deep impact blue is just way to dark. I special ordered it in July 28, 2015 and got it in September 23,2015 as a 2016 model. Back then it only took 7-8 week s if you order it. Here in Phoenix Arizona the average dealership total off price is about $5k-$6k OFF the sticker price. My other car the 18 Camaro SS I got $8k total off sticker. I COULD NOT PASS THAT UP!!! Lol. Question is which is REALLY THE BETTER CAR GT OR SS ?? Hmm??🤔lol. I’m so scared to replace my 16 gt for a new 18 or 19 bc of the tick thing going on. Bc my 16 gt is running like a champ!!! 👍
is that Ford X Plan still a thing I know this video was posted a bit ago so I was wondering cause I’ve been trying to get a Shadow Black GT, thank you!
So I have a 2017 Grabber Blue (V6 sadly but hear me out) and I plan to upgrade to a 19 GT. I love grabber blue but I havnt seen Velocity in person. I love the stand out and uniqueness of grabber blue as blue is my favorite color. Do you think Velocity is something I would be satisfied with or should I go get a dark color and just wrap it
I have a choice to make. A 2018 GT premium 400A, 19” polished wheels and, nav. The other is a 2019 Magnetic base with PP1, security pkg, active exhaust, 19” nickel plated wheels. Both at around 35k excluding taxes, fees. HALP!!
FYI ~ They didn't iron out anything regarding the 2019's. I know, I just purchased one three-weeks ago and it's already has the infamous “BBQ” tick (which many are calling it) which is from a bearing clearance issue on the crank. Basically, too much clearance. It’s called "typewriter noise", "Ford Engineering’s terminology" regarding this problem. It’s a design flaw with no fix in the pipeline short of a redesign, and we all know that Ford isn’t going to that, as that would get 2018/2019 nowhere. So, you'll end up going back to the dealer until your warranty runs out and then game over. I suggest, if people can afford it, to purchase a “Ford ESP” extended warranty wrap as I did. It extended everything (paint, plastic trim, etc. not included) for an additional 3-years/36000 miles. I bought mine at time of purchase, but you most certainly can walk in and purchase one if you're still under the factory warranty. And, if you're not under factory warranty, which would be huge miles in a short time, you pay a small fee (I think $100 or so) for Ford to run it through the shop to make sure there isn't any obvious problems. Then you can purchase it.
@ Zander13 ~ What's really screwed up is that they keep pumping these out with a known problem, which is not surprising. They're doing the same thing with their F-Series trucks, SUV's, Mustangs, etc. that have galvanized corrosion issues on vehicles with aluminum body parts. After talking with some insiders about the BBQ Tick issue, I've decided to get rid of my "new" Mustang. I'm not going down this road, as it will take countless hours / months do go through the reacquired vehicle process with no guarantees. I'm losing $5K right off the bat, but my time is worth more than that. I've had over 20-Mustangs to date, but I'm done with Ford. I no longer have any trust in the company. Good luck with your Stang.
You forgot to mention the 2019's have autopilot like Tesla's do, because the amount of times you were driving with no hands they must have autopilot! Hahaha i'm joking. Thanks for the video!
I have a 2017 GT and would like to upgrade to the 19. Honestly at this point I'll probably wait for the 2020 or 2021, whichever year has the next big change. Plus there is no way to have grabber blue with the 19s and that is the best color on the S550 in my opinion.
I spoke to my dealer, he said they will add the X-plan on top of what is already knocked off and my first responder discount. How much exactly does the x-plan take off?
Sweet video!! (“Those are ginormous birds” 😂) Trying to decide now which to get so I appreciate the info. Sucks because I wanted a 2018, but I also wanted some custom items, which as you know...not gonna happen. 😖 Praying I’ll like the 2019 just as much. Or should I wait until June to order a 2020? Hmmm...decisions, decisions?
not sure. the 2019 is a better car than the 2018. I have not heard anything changing about the 2020. the next gen is not supposed to happen until like 2022 or something. we are all unsure at this point
hey zander, I just ordered my 2019 GT Premium but here's. the catch .you hand in the order it goes into the que at ford and starting sept. 1 that's. when production starts for 2019. Also they are still making 2018's untill the end of the month. If you want 2018 after the end of Aug. then like you said here your going to have to get your local ford dealer and start the search. love the video. I get a kick out of watching you.. you look like a little kid who's. mother gave him a $100.00 in walmart to go buy a new bike. love your videos. You and Stangmode are the best quility videos and information. you guys are great. later brother. ghostrider here in conn.
Thanks so much. I definitely try to bring a little comedy into every video. Some dont like it but hey, this is my show lol. I am just glad that the majority do and i can keep it informative. I cant wait to collab with stangmode again. Couple more weeks and we will be at mustang week together
totally depends if you want to keep it. Leasing is a good option because when the s650 comes out you can get it in a few years. Me personally, I hate being tied to contracts though. But a lease payment does cost less and you will always have the option to buy at end of lease
An early lease return on Ford Mustangs come with dealer pre-owned certified warranties (if you're shopping for 2019 model GT). A premium Mustang GT (with most of the features) with taxes cost around $52,000, but purchasing an early lease return can save buyer $7000-$15000. Leasing vs buying a early lease return depends on how long you want to own the car. Mercedes and BMWs after 3 years have a lot of problems so the leasing a luxury car lets you lease another after 3 years without worrying about the maintenance. I owned an 06 Mustang GT for 4 years and replaced it for an early lease return 18 Toyota Corolla SE. Mustang was giving me problems after 150,000 miles.
premium plus 401a pack, dont need or want PP or recaros! i'll stick with my 16 though..still think the deep impact blue is the best blue ford has made, i truly hate grabber blue..esp on an s550..velocity is too light, kona is sweet too
As someone with a 17 in Grabber Blue I’m gonna politely disagree. But then again I like the overly bright colors. I think Kona is way to dark and at night looks black. Same with the crimson color, I don’t like it at all and would refuse to own it in that color. But to each their own, that’s why they offer multiple colors
Good advice. Def get the 2019's. Upgraded stereo and rear cross traffic alert standard. Plus you can get stripes, etc. Wow I wish I'd known about X-Plan. Never heard of it until now. :O/ Dang that blue is super nice. Alex I think you may have just broken the shift fork on the blue mustang there. LOL JK
I’m waiting until August of next year, but basically gonna get the exact car that was in the showroom.”, I’ll have a few grand in equity built up in my car, and it’ll be the end of the model year, so it’ll be the perfect time to buy.
The Velocity Blue is one of the Best Blues Ford has come out with for a long long long time!!! I'm ordering a new mustang from Jenkyns and Wynn Ford in clarksville. I'm stuck between the color I love (velocity Blue) or saying Fuck it and Getting the Hooligan Bullitt (which I love the Highland green). Hard life decisions to drop hard earned money on.
I went to dealer yesterday to buy 2018 mustang.i try to the 2018 and 2019 its on park..i hit gas a a little after i heard those ticking from the engine both cars and i was like wtf is that? I ask the salesman and he said he doesn’t know :/ he told me that’s ok cause i have a warranty..WTF...good thing i didn’t make a deal..
Zander shift fork issue is still there in the 19 model. Alex another UA-camr that is a Tunner had his shift forks break while filming. Check out his video YDBT.
Zander13 part of the reason the forks were changed is because they upgraded the gears made them stronger. Ben Calmer the MT82 guy is working on a fork upgrade.
Too late! I bought my 18 at the end of May. I guess what I am debating if I should hold onto it. Or save and trade in for a GT350 at some point next year.
Zander13 I hear ya. That’s the struggle I am debating if it is even worth to pay that extra for the GT350. I definitely love the 18-19 GTs. It is a great platform. Despite some of the issues folks are having
@@Zander13Productions Right. I have been doing my research. Definitely attainable. Stangmodes recent video with the Mustang designer got me pumped for the s650 and the gt500.
Chris Osterdock nah, not rumors bro. I don’t go by what people say. Initially I was looking at the Mustang PP2. But wasn’t sure if it was worth to shell out that much dough. Furthermore, I liked the GT350. But the markups kept me away. Plus, is the extra really worth it? Can I mod my mustang GT to where it is something comparable? This is my first mustang. It has always been on the list of cars I have wanted to own. I got a good deal. I am happy so far. But I guess there is always that extra that you want as a driver. I have kept it stock so far. Crazy huh? I just haven’t had time for mods. Plus, not sure where to start. I have been working like crazy.
I would wait for them to stop making the coyote engine or any version of. It doesn't matter what year they are all the same Ford quality. Stop playing into their hands. Buy something good. I made the Ford mistake.
just buy the camaro.. no nobody wants to deal with that crappy ass MT82 transmission that keeps going out and ford wont do a recall on it! 90% of yall about to pay for a car thats gonna break and pay for a car thats gonna sit for months at a time.. thats the only deterrent from me getting the new mustang.. smh
Went from a 16 eco to a 19gt and absolutely love it.....
That color looks like Grabber Blue and Lighting Blue smashed and produced the most beautiful little Velocity Blue baby ever. That color alone makes me want to trade up...
it is beautiful in person. I love it.

Time will tell but in first 1200 miles my 19 is going strong
Zander13 how has it held up

Traded a very, very clean, loaded, low mileage (17k) Caddy ATS AWD coupe. ZERO regrets.
sounds like you got an awesome car for a great price. Congrats. I love the auto. This is my first auto mustang and its magic. I have been thinking about springs as well. I will probably go with BMR springs though.
All I know is I'm glad I special order my 2018 GT. I hear the new GT model will not arrive until 2022, with no major changes taking place until then. Therefore, my 2018 GT will easily pass as current year model until then.
Velocity blue reminds me of bright Atlantic blue on the mid 90s mustang. Truly a stunning color!
yes it does, I think ford did a fantastic job
Best way to option out a 2018/2019 Mustang. Base model, 301a package and the pp1 package. Walked out with mine for 35,000
Austin Haley what dealership they seem discounted now and I’m in the market
I live in the UK. The 2018 model was only released at the end of July 2018. Ordered my 5.0 in magnetic with all the options except Recaro,s. current delivery date is the 16 th March 2019!!!!
congrats, you should get it soon I hope
Good informative video , thanks! And that Velocity Blue is gorgeous!
Very welcome, that new blue is awesome. I was afraid it was going to look like the focus rs blue at first but its very different
If you're not picky, go to autotrader and search for "Mustang GT" and select "leather seats" and you'll find quite a few 2018 GT Premium units for around 35k.
Hi Zander, what do you think about the differences in the drive. On the used market, there is a difference of about $10k between the FM and FN models here in Australia. From your video I don''t think the upgrades are worth that?
What is FM and FN
@@Zander13Productions 2015 to 2017 were the FM models, 2018 to current are the FN models
That 2019 has active rev match. so nice
Thank you for your service. What branch were you in?
To get X Plan pin #
Join Mustang Club of America
Request a pin#. Get a no bickering killer price from dealer. Price is on the invoice. No haggle. They show you the invoice.
yes indeed!
yes, I have seen that done too. X plan has been proven to be beaten lots of times.
Will that price with X plan be the same no matter what dealer you go to for a car that is equipped exactly the same?
301A package, auto trans, adj exhaust, rear wing delete, blackout package, and add brembo + magnaride 45k. Package I'd get and be :)
Why not 401a package ?
Absolutely nothing wrong with the 2018's. I've put 20,000KM on my 2018 GT Premium PP1 with the 10R80 and have had zero issues. 2019 with MT86 will STILL blow your shift forks and could still come with a 'tick'.
Mines been driven on track multiple times and driven it from Toronto, Ontario to Orlando, FL and back. First oil change at 2,700KM, second at 8,000KM and another at 14,000KM. Just take care of your cars and enjoy them.
did you have an early build 18? I know my 18 was an early build and I had zero issues.
Spoke with you before. My 2019 Mustang GT that I ordered on June 21, 2018 has been delayed again. My MSRP was around 46K and some change. The dealer gave me a price of $43,756 before incentives, which isn't official price and will be negotiated at the time of delivery. He stated he could not add incentives at the time of ordering because they may change by the time its delivered. Anyway I hope I can add the X Plan with my first responder discount on top of the $43,756. From your experience and knowledge do you think I would be able to apply both to the $43,756? Also do I get the X plan Pins instant making the price around 41k?
I don't think you can add x plan at this point. There is no negotiating x plan, its a set price. It sounds like you are already beating x plan anyway since they have shaved off 3k. You can still fight for a better price but the numbers are supposed to have been agreed to at time of order. But def keep up the fight for a good deal. as far as x plan, since the car has already been ordered, I would ask your dealer first about what if you had x plan (before you spend money to get it). I hope that makes sense lol. But, yes, if you signed up for the x plan, follow the steps to get the pin. www.mustang.org/content.php/149-Benefits-of-MCA-Membership and www.fordpartner.com/partnerweb/jsp/howitworks/fordpartner_rules.htm
Thank you for reply. Yes we agreed on a price, well sort of. He assured me it won't be any higher than the $43,756 but could actually be lower at the time of purchase. He stated that they couldn't have an official price with other incentives/deals until delivery date. I will update you when I receive the car or have new info. Anyway, thanks again for the help. Also I'm really enjoying your channel and content, keep up the great videos.
Hey there that new blue is sharp man!!! My 16 gt deep impact blue is just way to dark. I special ordered it in July 28, 2015 and got it in September 23,2015 as a 2016 model. Back then it only took 7-8 week s if you order it. Here in Phoenix Arizona the average dealership total off price is about $5k-$6k OFF the sticker price. My other car the 18 Camaro SS I got $8k total off sticker. I COULD NOT PASS THAT UP!!! Lol. Question is which is REALLY THE BETTER CAR GT OR SS ?? Hmm??🤔lol. I’m so scared to replace my 16 gt for a new 18 or 19 bc of the tick thing going on. Bc my 16 gt is running like a champ!!! 👍
is that Ford X Plan still a thing I know this video was posted a bit ago so I was wondering cause I’ve been trying to get a Shadow Black GT, thank you!
Very possible
@@Zander13Productions is it still obtainable from that source you talked about? I’ve asked other people but not many know about the X Plan
Great info brother! Love the new blue. Sounded like the AC was blowing on your mic though lol.
Yes it was, i didnt know it until i started editing. I was like wtf lol. Lessons learned
@@Zander13Productions doh! Lol
lol
So I have a 2017 Grabber Blue (V6 sadly but hear me out) and I plan to upgrade to a 19 GT. I love grabber blue but I havnt seen Velocity in person. I love the stand out and uniqueness of grabber blue as blue is my favorite color. Do you think Velocity is something I would be satisfied with or should I go get a dark color and just wrap it
Yes, velocity blue is unbelievable in person. Beautiful color
I priced a fully equipped 19 GT Premium on TrueCar and got a 3.7k discount off MSRP.
I believe it. They can be bought for cheap money if people know where to look.
I got a 2018 gt auto mine still running no tick and no issue and I’m tuned 6876 miles already
good to hear, you should be in the clear by now
legit
Any tick on cold start? I get a little tick but it goes away once it’s a operating temp.
Codeman nothing yet. 1200 miles so far
😂 later you will have problems
I guess we will see. I hope not though.
Good video great info very helpful, that sure was a good looking blue. Waiting on the next video
Thanks, seems this video is already getting hate lol
@Zander13, would you mind doing an episode on the new audio system that comes in the 2019 models?
Possibly, I would have to find some music that would not demonetize the video.
Zander13 that would be sweet if you can. I just subscribed to your channel.
oh awesome, thanks and welcome to the channel. Please be sure to explore all the videos and spread the word! Welcome to the family!
Man I love that blue. Enjoyed the video!
awesome and thanks. That blue is beautiful.
I have 2018 GT base's in my area for $29,000-31,000
good price
I have a choice to make. A 2018 GT premium 400A, 19” polished wheels and, nav. The other is a 2019 Magnetic base with PP1, security pkg, active exhaust, 19” nickel plated wheels. Both at around 35k excluding taxes, fees. HALP!!
FYI ~ They didn't iron out anything regarding the 2019's. I know, I just purchased one three-weeks ago and it's already has the infamous “BBQ” tick (which many are calling it) which is from a bearing clearance issue on the crank. Basically, too much clearance. It’s called "typewriter noise", "Ford Engineering’s terminology" regarding this problem. It’s a design flaw with no fix in the pipeline short of a redesign, and we all know that Ford isn’t going to that, as that would get 2018/2019 nowhere. So, you'll end up going back to the dealer until your warranty runs out and then game over. I suggest, if people can afford it, to purchase a “Ford ESP” extended warranty wrap as I did. It extended everything (paint, plastic trim, etc. not included) for an additional 3-years/36000 miles. I bought mine at time of purchase, but you most certainly can walk in and purchase one if you're still under the factory warranty. And, if you're not under factory warranty, which would be huge miles in a short time, you pay a small fee (I think $100 or so) for Ford to run it through the shop to make sure there isn't any obvious problems. Then you can purchase it.
hopefully the next generation will be ironed out. Its crazy how they screwed this up this bad. They should have known better
@ Zander13 ~ What's really screwed up is that they keep pumping these out with a known problem, which is not surprising. They're doing the same thing with their F-Series trucks, SUV's, Mustangs, etc. that have galvanized corrosion issues on vehicles with aluminum body parts. After talking with some insiders about the BBQ Tick issue, I've decided to get rid of my "new" Mustang. I'm not going down this road, as it will take countless hours / months do go through the reacquired vehicle process with no guarantees. I'm losing $5K right off the bat, but my time is worth more than that. I've had over 20-Mustangs to date, but I'm done with Ford. I no longer have any trust in the company. Good luck with your Stang.
ty for this. Not getting a mustang anymore. Down to camaro SS or ZL1 or a used F10 M5
My 2019 PP1 GT in Kona Blue w 400a is due in ANY day. Can't wait! BTW, I'm a fellow TN resident
AWESOME AND CONGRATES. Im in clarksksille
Thanx! Portland - Robertson County side
You forgot to mention the 2019's have autopilot like Tesla's do, because the amount of times you were driving with no hands they must have autopilot! Hahaha i'm joking. Thanks for the video!
💪💪💪
Gen 2 because it takes boost way better, an no tick tock issues
Are the mt82 issues fixed for the 2019 model year?
No, some people are still having issues
This is what worries me and makes me consider a camaro SS or ZL1 with the tremec instead. or just get the auto GT
Correct me if I am wrong, but has Ford not built this 5 litre engine for many years?
Lol yes
I have a 2017 GT and would like to upgrade to the 19. Honestly at this point I'll probably wait for the 2020 or 2021, whichever year has the next big change. Plus there is no way to have grabber blue with the 19s and that is the best color on the S550 in my opinion.
Im sure the s650 is going to blow us all away lol
I spoke to my dealer, he said they will add the X-plan on top of what is already knocked off and my first responder discount. How much exactly does the x-plan take off?
For me x plan saved close to 3k or something like that. Maybe a little less
Thanks again. My Mustang has been built but there is some sort of delay with delivery. Me dealer didn’t really say much else.
@@greyhound9960 it happens
What if you are paying the whole thing with cash and want a 19 is there more ways than mentioned to save money ?
Possibly.
Sweet video!! (“Those are ginormous birds” 😂) Trying to decide now which to get so I appreciate the info. Sucks because I wanted a 2018, but I also wanted some custom items, which as you know...not gonna happen. 😖 Praying I’ll like the 2019 just as much. Or should I wait until June to order a 2020? Hmmm...decisions, decisions?
not sure. the 2019 is a better car than the 2018. I have not heard anything changing about the 2020. the next gen is not supposed to happen until like 2022 or something. we are all unsure at this point
Okay thanks.
Just bought my 2019 in Orange Fury. MSRP was 50K. Got $3,725 off not using Xplan. I had never heard of that.
congrats, you still got a good deal. I almost got the orange instead of red.
What about exterior? Any body changes?
No changes
Great Video !!
thanks so much!
hey zander, I just ordered my 2019 GT Premium but here's. the catch .you hand in the order it goes into the que at ford and starting sept. 1 that's. when production starts for 2019. Also they are still making 2018's untill the end of the month. If you want 2018 after the end of Aug. then like you said here your going to have to get your local ford dealer and start the search. love the video. I get a kick out of watching you.. you look like a little kid who's. mother gave him a $100.00 in walmart to go buy a new bike. love your videos. You and Stangmode are the best quility videos and information. you guys are great. later brother.
ghostrider here in conn.
Thanks so much. I definitely try to bring a little comedy into every video. Some dont like it but hey, this is my show lol. I am just glad that the majority do and i can keep it informative. I cant wait to collab with stangmode again. Couple more weeks and we will be at mustang week together
2018 production finished in July. Orders for 2018 finished in April.
Would you purchase an early lease return of a 2019 model (under 5000 miles)
totally depends if you want to keep it. Leasing is a good option because when the s650 comes out you can get it in a few years. Me personally, I hate being tied to contracts though. But a lease payment does cost less and you will always have the option to buy at end of lease
@@Zander13Productions It sounds like AJ wants to buy a previously leased vehicle, not lease one himself.
oh okay, I see
An early lease return on Ford Mustangs come with dealer pre-owned certified warranties (if you're shopping for 2019 model GT). A premium Mustang GT (with most of the features) with taxes cost around $52,000, but purchasing an early lease return can save buyer $7000-$15000. Leasing vs buying a early lease return depends on how long you want to own the car. Mercedes and BMWs after 3 years have a lot of problems so the leasing a luxury car lets you lease another after 3 years without worrying about the maintenance. I owned an 06 Mustang GT for 4 years and replaced it for an early lease return 18 Toyota Corolla SE. Mustang was giving me problems after 150,000 miles.
premium plus 401a pack, dont need or want PP or recaros! i'll stick with my 16 though..still think the deep impact blue is the best blue ford has made, i truly hate grabber blue..esp on an s550..velocity is too light, kona is sweet too
HotShotVQ35 the 18s are a lot faster then your 16 tho
As someone with a 17 in Grabber Blue I’m gonna politely disagree. But then again I like the overly bright colors. I think Kona is way to dark and at night looks black. Same with the crimson color, I don’t like it at all and would refuse to own it in that color. But to each their own, that’s why they offer multiple colors
Did not like grabber blue but liked the that. Have a 17 lightning blue eb. I would like to up grade if I did I go to that blue.
Good advice. Def get the 2019's. Upgraded stereo and rear cross traffic alert standard. Plus you can get stripes, etc. Wow I wish I'd known about X-Plan. Never heard of it until now. :O/ Dang that blue is super nice. Alex I think you may have just broken the shift fork on the blue mustang there. LOL JK
thats okay, you still got a fantastic car that will hold its value a ton better than a regular GT. Plus the GT350s respond well to power adders!
The velocity blue is my favorite color.
It is very bright, i like it too. Ford did a great job
Lighting was my favorite, but Velocity looks terrific. I always felt Kona to be a snooze fest and never warmed to the Grabber.
I agree. I think its a perfect mix
Everyone forgets about deep impact blue which is just as nice as grabber blue , 2 best blues imo
I just red an article saying lightly used Mustangs are 45% off
Just Send it Huh Bro. Til it tear up. Lol😀😀😁😁😂😂 Great video Bro
Lol thanks
I miss the Vista Blue that was on my 08. That new blue looks pretty sweet.
I’m waiting until August of next year, but basically gonna get the exact car that was in the showroom.”, I’ll have a few grand in equity built up in my car, and it’ll be the end of the model year, so it’ll be the perfect time to buy.
You will love it. That new blue is sooo beautiful
The Velocity Blue is one of the Best Blues Ford has come out with for a long long long time!!! I'm ordering a new mustang from Jenkyns and Wynn Ford in clarksville. I'm stuck between the color I love (velocity Blue) or saying Fuck it and Getting the Hooligan Bullitt (which I love the Highland green). Hard life decisions to drop hard earned money on.
the new blue is super sexy in person
I hear you bro...😀
I went to dealer yesterday to buy 2018 mustang.i try to the 2018 and 2019 its on park..i hit gas a a little after i heard those ticking from the engine both cars and i was like wtf is that? I ask the salesman and he said he doesn’t know :/ he told me that’s ok cause i have a warranty..WTF...good thing i didn’t make a deal..
Yes definitely pick a different car. Mine does not tick at all
Honestly it looks like the C6 Corvette's Jet Stream Blue
Yes, i can see than. Its very sharp
Waited too long to get my 18 so I think I will keep it.
You should, you have a great car
No! Don’t get the 2019!!! Get the 2020, is better than the 2019. Or wait for the 2021, it will be better than both 😉
Zander shift fork issue is still there in the 19 model. Alex another UA-camr that is a Tunner had his shift forks break while filming. Check out his video YDBT.
Oh man, that sucks. I cant believe ford hasn't changed them yet. They should have kept them the same as the 15-17
Zander13 part of the reason the forks were changed is because they upgraded the gears made them stronger. Ben Calmer the MT82 guy is working on a fork upgrade.
@@erikressdorf8418 im sure he will make some good money if he comes up with a good strong design
Good information my company has the X plan maybe some day I'll get to use it
It makes it hassle free
It seems like a lot more commercials than that maybe I was just very sensitive to it because I wanted to get to see the blue Mustang LOL
This the one bro
Lol says ticking and rod slapping is not an issue, that's how I got rod knock on mine. Ford engines are always a gamble
yes its a gamble. 3600 miles on mine and no ticking yet
This could have a easily been a 5 min video and much better for it
I absolutely hate that black stripe on the green 2019. I've seen it in person and I love the color but damn do I hate that stripe.
I do to from the pictures I have seen. the stripe should have just been an option.
isn't it just a vinyl wrap you could remove?
You should of put the Velocity Blue in the Thumbnail also
2018 = BUY & SEND IT! it's warrantied LOL
amen to that 😁
can you lease this beast?? I dont wana buy i just wana use it and abuse it!!! ......
Probably
This is a pp1 right?
Yes
what a sound system I can build in my car for $1000
I found a 18 6-speed lightning blue performance pack at my dealer , hopefully labor days the day. I’m trying to get it for 36k out the door ,
You should be able to. Just dont take no for an answer lol
That is a sexy color indeed.
Too late! I bought my 18 at the end of May. I guess what I am debating if I should hold onto it. Or save and trade in for a GT350 at some point next year.
Keep it and mod. The new gt cars are way faster with the right mods. But gt350s are special too
Zander13 I hear ya. That’s the struggle I am debating if it is even worth to pay that extra for the GT350. I definitely love the 18-19 GTs. It is a great platform. Despite some of the issues folks are having
What about a preowned gt350. They are selling for 45-50k now
@@Zander13Productions Right. I have been doing my research. Definitely attainable. Stangmodes recent video with the Mustang designer got me pumped for the s650 and the gt500.
Chris Osterdock nah, not rumors bro. I don’t go by what people say. Initially I was looking at the Mustang PP2. But wasn’t sure if it was worth to shell out that much dough. Furthermore, I liked the GT350. But the markups kept me away. Plus, is the extra really worth it? Can I mod my mustang GT to where it is something comparable? This is my first mustang. It has always been on the list of cars I have wanted to own. I got a good deal. I am happy so far. But I guess there is always that extra that you want as a driver. I have kept it stock so far. Crazy huh? I just haven’t had time for mods. Plus, not sure where to start. I have been working like crazy.
Thank you for the info as I really want to buy a 2019 Mustang GT
Very welcome
I just got a the blue with the performance pack 2
Nice. Congratulations
If I can just get digital dash on my 16' gt! That's only thing that's missing in my car
I wonder if it can retrofit in there somehow
U can
What's the song called @ 13:36? Please.
kozah- heavens
omg thank you so much! Love the videos. I hope 1 year from now I can have a car like yours.
thanks so much
I’m listening
I would wait for them to stop making the coyote engine or any version of. It doesn't matter what year they are all the same Ford quality. Stop playing into their hands. Buy something good. I made the Ford mistake.
53k?? For a Mustang GT?? WHY? Just buy a damn Shelby 350 & be done lol
just buy the camaro.. no nobody wants to deal with that crappy ass MT82 transmission that keeps going out and ford wont do a recall on it! 90% of yall about to pay for a car thats gonna break and pay for a car thats gonna sit for months at a time.. thats the only deterrent from me getting the new mustang.. smh
