Why BUY a 2019 Ford Mustang GT with the PERFORMANCE PACK?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- The 2019 Mustang GT offers a lot of different options to to buyers to tailor their muscle car to their needs. I am going to compare an entry level Mustang GT to a Mustang GT that has the Performance Pack Level 1 option. Does what you get going that route warrant the increase in price. Find out all the derails so you can pick the 2019 Mustang GT that is best for you.

For those unsure about getting the performance pack, it's a great option and well worth it, and you get most of it back in resale since it's added value to the car. Skip the black appearance pack and just spend the extra for the PP1. The Brembo brakes are incredible at all speeds, you get the 3.55/3.73 gears depending on transmission, Torsen differential, better wheels, sticky summer tires as well as improved and additional suspension bits too.
Man What a Detail Presentation! Ford Motor Company Needs to pay you for this ! Thank You
That is really awesome of you to say that! Your support is fantastic!
Can't get enough Mustang reviews, I love all your videos but the Mustang ones speak to me. You helped me decide on my 2019 Mustang GT with the performance pack one. Keep up the great work !
That is so awesome of you to say! I am so glad that you are happy with your Mustang!
Just got one myself 2 days ago!Love it!
Mine showed up on Thursday, that's 3 weeks earlier than the dealer said. I ordered it on Feb 15th and was told middle of May for delivery, I was very happy to get the call. I love it. Getting the roof wrapped in satin black , getting the windows tinted and I got new Niche Misano wheels in gun metal grey for it. It's going to be a great summer.
The performance package 18-19s are so hard to find on the used market.
year later, yea
Carvana made my dream come true by buying a PP1 2018 Mustang GT orange fury with magneride and oem active exhaust only 2,234 miles.
Thank you for the thorough presentation Joe! We may need to talk about hiring you to do Training for our sales consultant’s!
You should hire me to do it too! But I'd probably be there for days talking about the car.
Do it! Joe is a walking and smart talking Encyclopedia of Mustang knowledge 👍
lol looks like Joe has a new job XD
Walker Ford- Joe will take the job only with a sign in bonus of a GT350. He deserve it. He will be a great asset to your company. 😉
@@sigmamale7604 Joe is already a great asset and partner, not sure how Mr. Walker will feel about a GT350!
5:50 "The lines stay true to the name....... true to the game." Great way to put that! Keep up the great work!
We ordered the PP1 for the Magna-Ride, went full Bonkers = Convertible - 10 spd Auto - B&O Stereo - Waited 5 months for 5 spoke Shiny Nickle wheels, [BLACK is Gaudy] - Tuned Exhaust & you get the general gist on the other options.
Really like your Videos on new cars, keep up the Good Work.
That is really awesome Gary! Congrats!
Thats why I watch your videos, you bring fresh material all the time! Good job !!
Thank you Carlos that really means a lot!
I simply could not get enough of your Mustang videos At Walker Ford! You are the king of Mustang videos. Thank you, Thank you!!! 😎👍👍
Super glad I finally found out the difference between base and performance pack level 1 Super Awesome review Joe and Tom!! You guys are great!!!
Thanks Dylan that is so awesome of you to say! I am glad I could explain it to you!
He didn't really review a base GT. The base GT comes with a sort of outdated stereo system and without leather seats and and 18 " wheels
Never been a Mustang guy but I gotta admit they are looking damn good. Definitely get the performance package if your budget can withstand it.
AGREED!
After watching this I decided to go with the PP1, I pick my mustang up tomorrow! Thank you sir!
That is so awesome to hear William! I think you made a great choice!
If u dont mind me asking how much did you pay?
@@randomperson7135 Sticker was 51K, i got them to sell it to me for 44K. Couldnt be happier!
The new front end is really really really growing on me, I used to HATE it
I know how you feel!
Same here. I think Ingot Silver helps because it makes the body lines stand out.
I just bought me a 2018 GT premium with performance pack 1 (ingot silver like the one on your video). ABSOLUTE beast of a car. Coming from a 4 cylinder Focus ST....this car is absolutely a blast... I mean I laugh like a crazy man when I floor it. It's also a BEAUTIFUL car. I have the optional Recaros! VERY comfortable compared to my Focus ST recaros.... Great review. You are one of my favorites I've seen lately on here.
I know it’s hard not to smile or laugh while driving the crap out of it. I have a 2022 Mustang GT premium 10 speed.
I could watch mustang gt reviews all day every day
If you buy a mustang it has to be a V8 nothing less.
Jamie Fiallas ecoboost is very good also. Very fun, just doesn't have the punch and growl.
Thanks for sharing your great input and for watching!
Especially when mated to the 10 Speed gearbox!
And don't forget the man petals
love people that say this the 2009 gt would lose in a drag to a 2014 v6 but the sound is so much better
In April 2024, I found a low mileage (under 9000 miles) 2018 Mustang Premium GT (Orange Fury metallic color) 10 speed automatic with optional PP1, Magne-ride, active exhaust, and a dealer installed Roush supercharger. I might say a rare find! More power and performance than I have ever experienced in a car I can drive most everyday!
Very nice Joe! I agree performance pack recognition would be nice.Have a good weekend buddy 🍻👍
Thanks Warren! I hope you have a good one as well!
I special ordered my 2018 Silver automatic GT (with a CD player), which looks exactly like the 2019 GT shown here. Since my GT shall never see a race track, there was absolutely no reason for me to consider a performance package and saved myself over $7,000.00 in doing so.
Love your delivery of information on these videos Joe!
Thank you so much for taking the time to say that! I really appreciate your support!
Keep up the great work. I can not wait for the pp2 mustang review . Your videos informative and entertaining.
Thanks James for saying that! I really enjoy sharing them with you! The PP2 is coming soon from Waker Ford!
You're videos are always on the money You're a great guy thank's Dave from Michigan
Just bought my 2019 non PP.. and here's the thing.. if you want a MANUAL with pp AND magneride. You WONT find it.. maybe in a base. . I really didn't want to sacrifice either , but you cant find both.. I almost went BULLITT for that SOLE reason... so the reason I went mag over pp is PP is definitely a step up.. but its mostly tires brakes shocks and coolant.. which still.could ALL BE BETTER. So I can make those changes and would anyways even if I had gotten the pp. Love the content tho!
I am so glad that you were able to find the right Mustang for you and that you are enjoying her!
I have watched so many of your videos on the Mustangs. I finally picked one out in my price range. Its a base velocity blue, 2020 5.0 base model 301A pack, I have them putting heat/seats. I will upgrade tires and rims and exhaust once I sell my aftermarket parts from my Chevy Silverado Z71. Nice wicker bill spoiler. I am driving from RI to Maryland to pick up. Velocity blue is hard to come by in the northeast. Lot of people buying Mustangs during this coronavirus. This is a test to see if i like the Mustang. I retire in 8 years and will by a new GT350 or a used GT500 if they still make them. Thanks again. That digital dash looks sweet. $2100 ad on. My wife would kill me. Lol.
That is so awesome Lance Congrats! I am glad you played it safe so your didn't get in the dog house! ;-)
I would def pick the performance pack and the silver over the black one. Black is so hard to keep clean but looks good when it is. Thanks for the great video as usual. 👍🏻👍🏻
Double AGREE! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Buy the black if you can afford to Xpel wrap with a ceramic coating. Makes keeping clean a breeze.
MagneRide is a must with PP1, otherwise the suspension is too stiff.
Cant find them anywhere... atleast on a premium in southeast
I totally agree with you! It is money WELL spent!
So very true James!
If you want a performance level one with 480 horsepower you have that option it’s called the Bullitt. Great to see more Mustang content always welcome
I totally agree with you! I really appreciate your support!
I love my 2019 GT PP1 , it absolutely kills in every way
Thank you for sharing that input from your experience!
I bought this car after watching one of your videos , you really opened my eyes to the 2019
Good for you.
If I could not have my GT350R, this is the Mustang, hands down, that I would get. Really good review Mr. Raiti.
Good job man you are getting better every day in presentations! I wish Ford offers a black out badges, roof, and spoiler on the performance pack!
Thanks Marco that really means a lot! That would be a nice touch if they did!
Performance pack definitely has some good stuff for the money. Almost went with one but I figured the base would be a better daily. 3.31 gears for highway, softer ride for road trips, and ability to rotate wheels. Besides that, just give me the v8 and the 6 speed and all is good.
I think you did perfect for what you needed!
Awesome video Joe! Thank you for your reviews and opinions about Ford vehicles, especially mustangs.
Thank you Wayne for your kind words and always watching! I really love to share it with you!
One of the best informative videos I've seen. Thanks.
That performance pack is amazing
AGREED!
I did that samwe stuff to my 2010 triple
black GT Convertible. Plus bolt on power adders and full coilover suspension..3 inch drop staggerred rims . I added Roush hood scooter and front and rear bumpes. Looks like a Roush but a fraction of the price...
Honestly Raiti, I love my GT but one of the main reasons I went Ford was I remember they were the only Big 3 that didn’t take a bailout
I enjoy your thorough comparisons and since I'm looking into a Mustang GT I was very interested. A couple of things that didn't come up that your followers might be interested in are that with the Performance Package 1 you also get a larger rear sway bar, better performance tires (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S) and that if you want to smooth out the ride and get even better handling you can get the MagneRide Damping System for $1,695. One thing I'm not sure of is if the Torsen Limited Slip Diff is standard or only part of the PP1. Any way, keep these coming and if you ever get to drive one with the MagneRide, I'd love to hear your comments. Thanks.
Watch some of my other Mustang videos because I talk plenty about how amazing the Magneride suspension. Thanks for you support and feedback!
Great review but it might be misguiding. The base GT doesn't come with that touch screen stereo system. It also doesn't come with leather seats or dual climate control. It is still a great car for the money nonetheless.
I really enjoyed watching this I’m 16 just turned 16 and I’ve been looking into cars so I can set my mind on what I want for the future and I’m glad to say I’m going with the 2019 Mustang GT with the performance pack thank you for everything and for all the info to help me decide on what I want
Got a ‘19 premium with 401a, auto, smart, safe pkg, custom rims. Blind spot, lane depart , adap cruise control etc are very usable on hwy driving which is the only time i won’t be in my work truck. So far love it, coming from a hellcat& 2 scat packs
6 mins in and im already convinced I need the premium gt
I jUst got a new mustang gt with pp1 after I saw this video. Really helped me on my decision.
That is so awesome to hear!
This comparison was super-informative! Can't wait to see the PP2 package vid. My 14' black GT is sweatin' as I'm jonesin' for the 19' PP2!
Thanks for letting me share it with you! That PP2 video is already on the channel!
Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out.
Man i was looking for this video!!!
Currently looking for that specific PP1 Mustang!
Awesome review Joe!! I actually just traded my Fiesta ST for a 2019 GT PP1 6 speed with active exhaust in Velocity Blue!! Absolutely love it!! Keep up the great work brother! 👍🏻
Hey Eric! That is a big step up in power! Very cool! I love Velocity Blue and with the PP1 pkg you knocked it out of the park.
@@RaitisRides It's a big change for sure! But man that Coyote with that exhaust is just music to my ears! Who needs a radio? I got a pretty good deal, 0% for 72 months plus almost 5k off sticker price! I'm so happy with my purchase and you're right that velocity Blue is killer!
Eric you did super well!
MUSCLE 💪🏽🇺🇸 ON THROTTLE - YEEEHAH
Great video and comparison brother. I plan to get one when I come back from deployment but one of those supercharged ones like from Lebanon Ford Perfomance, pair it off with the boosted Dodge Charger. Definitely need the Performance package with that much power. Love the verbiage as always haha 😄 keep up the good work! 👍🏾
Thanks Jay! I appreciate you tuning in!
A couple things I’d add: better rims with the higher performance pack, can change the colour of the lights on the dash info centre and cup holder lights, I’d recommend doing a resonator delete and changing the exhaust set up if you really want to hear that engine roar
Just order active valve exhaust! 4 modes from quiet to super-loud....why pay for an expensive system that is non-adjustable?? Active exhaust is $1000 in Canada.
@@rod928s4 I’d like to know where you get it for 1k in Canada, everything here is super inflated
@@Jhnzo_ I'm in Niagara Region...just look it up on the Ford website. Active exhaust option for Mustangs has been a grand for the last three model years.
@@rod928s4 I think we’re talking about different things. The stock exhaust isn’t good on the gt’s. I’m saying to replace the stock exhaust with either a corsa, borla etc. Whether it’s active or not is irrelevant
@@Jhnzo_ What do you mean "the stock exhaust isn't good"?
Love these mustang vids keep up the good work I love it! 👍🏻👌🏻
Hmm was just wondering when is the 2020 gt coming out can’t wait!!! 😍
I am so glad that I could share these with you! It will be interesting to see when those 2020's hit?
The PP1 automatic gets the 3.55 TORSEN® Differential while the regular GT automatic gets the 3.15 limited slip rear axle (3.55 optional).
I have a PP1 with MagneRide manual convertible, no spoiler on these PP1 convertibles! ua-cam.com/video/dMEo-KsMvqQ/v-deo.html
Thanks for that great piece of info! I always love your extra input!
Greetings from St. Cloud, FL. Thank you for the schooling!!! Looking to buy one in the next month or so this was a very good explanation. I might give them a visit.
Thanks for letting me share this with you!
Really appreciate this video. Great info & explained very well. Thanks!
That is so awesome of you to say! Thanks for watching!
Someone give this man a raise. Well done.
That is so awesome of you to say!
Agreed!!!
Thanks guys!
Very happy with my GT PP1 in Velocity Blue. I just added the PP2 wheels which look amazing.
Also, I had my car taken to an upholstery shop and had the center console wrapped in black leather, addressing one of Joe’s zonks.
Thank you so much for adding that input from your ownership! The PP2 wheels are sick! That is the way to go!
Can you email me a pick of her:
raitisrides@gmail.com
Yes, just need the wife to do it. I’m technologically inept.
Thanks I really appreciate that!
Love it!
Keep up the great work 👍👍
Thanks Matt! I really appreciate it!
I’m saving for a 2018...by Dec, I should be a proud owner of a 5.0 GT like my Dad used to have in 1989. Great videos btw
Are you getting close?
How much did it cost u ?
It’s actually a 307 not a 302. It changed in 2018plus. Note for your future videos. That’s how they pumped up more horsepower. It’s finally a true 5.0
Great job Raiti's Rides. I do like that Ford keeps the mustang look very clean. I dont want to see any additional badging other than maybe on the inside on the passenger side dash.
I love all of your reviews, very informative.
It is time for me to get another Raiti's Ride t-shirt.
Thanks Alec! I totally agree with what you said!
Just bought a used 2019 Mustang GT Premium with the PP1 and 10 speed transmission from Walker Ford. I love it so far!
I know where i'm NOT going to buy my BRAND NEW 2019 GT Mustang Performance Pack where new tires are used doing 90+ mph pulls :) But I agree! It's a frickin' amazing car.
I have an automatic 2018 GT, just bought it, AND just moved to Florida. How is if I n the rain? Specifically, rain on 95?
Raiti you are truly the best on you tube ..THUMBS UP
That really is to kind of you to say!
I'm just saying what i believe ...you are the best my friend...pick up my 19 limited tomorrow .
That is really awesome! I am so excited for you!
@@RaitisRides thanks ..its in the garage and getting its first coat of wax..lol
Good attention to detail, and nicely done on the video overall. Good job!
Thanks John! That really means a lot!
Hey Joe , your spot on about driving heritage everyday, its absolutely true ,everything you say is spot on 👍 excellent reviews. MUSTANGS AND FORDS FORD EVA !!!!
Thanks Joe I really appreciate that!
That's my dream car right there. It will be the same spec as the silver one but red. LOVE THAT CAR!!!
I am so glad that I could share this one with you!
@@RaitisRides I'll show it to you the second i get it. That bad boy costs about 60k. In 20 years, literally
I know exactly where you are coming from!
Great video, really loving these new Mustang models.
Thanks for the compliment and letting me share this with you!
The main reason hat the interior is nicer form the leather to the 12in digital gauge being installed has to do with the premium package which has nothing to do with the performance package. Good review but you should’ve mentioned that. You also should’ve mentioned the way the center console that you said was hard plastic becomes soft touched and stitched to match the seats when you get the premium) pack. The car in general becomes super nice once it has the premium pack and performance pack combined like the model you are reviewing has.
I would of sworn I did.
Nice Joe 👍! I like the performance pack review and the clean digital speed display. The way you floor it you need to do a review on the best radar detectors to buy! 😂
That actually sounds like a great review idea!
Lol, I recommend the Valentine 1, not that I would ever need it. 😏
Getting mine next month with the pp1, Can’t wait!!
Don't do it, the engine will develop the loud ticking noise
Matt Jones Not every mustang has that ticking noise, I’m getting a 2019
Congrats! What color are you getting!
I really wouldn't worry about it. I remember when I got my RS and everyone said it was going to blow the head gasket.
Raiti's Rides I’m getting it in magnetic metallic, I’m excited 😆
Excellent reviews , I know and feel you are a Ford guy , love your reviews ,you are the man and MUSTANG IS KING . 👍
Great Review! Loved it! Thanks Joe!
Thanks Robert! I really appreciate you taking the time to say that!
Should've mentioned that the manual PP1 gets you a Torsen LSD whilst the automatics make due with the standard trac-lok LSD. The Torsen doesn't lose effectiveness over time, where the trac-lok's clutch discs do wear out after 90k miles or so.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate your support!
Great Review of the 2019 Mustang GT's!...I would like to see a Review of the 2019 Saleen Black Label 302 rated at 800HP and their 2019 N/A Saleen White Label rated at 480HP!
There is a Limited Production New Comer called the Revenge GT Mustang!...It comes with a All Carbon Fiber WideBody (except the Doors and Roof), it's All Custom Hand Built and it comes in with a Choice of a 800HP, 850HP and 900HP rated Whipple S/C engines!
You get to choose a Coupe or Convertible Body Style and 6sp Manual or 10sp Paddle Shift Auto Trans!...It comes with Upgraded Suspension with Big Brakes and Wide Tires and Wheels to fit the Standard Carbon Fiber Widebody!
Well, I Hope You Get a Chance to Review the Revenge GT Mustang!...Keep Up the Good Work and God Bless!
Comes standard in Australia with Premium and performance package for $70000aud drive away .We don't sell the base Gt cloth trim in Australia
I guess they like to show horn you into a certain car. Interesting how in Australia there are not tons of options.
They sound so good im finally going to get mine in a couple months👏
Congrats! You will love it!
Gosh Joe, I can't wait to get my 2019 GT, so excited! I love a video of yours that starts "Welcome to Walker Ford" :)
That is so really awesome Sophie! You should be super excited!
Great video as usual bud
Thank you sir! You are a great American!
The small bottom portion of the grille just above the front splitter is different if the car is equipped with a engine block heater.
Thanks for that extra info!
I just mentioned it because I do not think you will see a factory installed block heater destined for Florida.
You can bet money on that! I really appreciate it!
Great video Joe.
Thank you sir for saying that and for watching!
I'd personally would like to get one with 10 speed automatic and the built in sync 3 navigation it would be dank af
I think you hit the nail on the head!
I have a 2019 EcoBoost. Where is there a video available showing all of the features of this car? There are so many things this car will do that I don't even know yet.
Love your videos Raiti but, you need to make a video of 'Why NOT to buy a 2018-2019 Mustang' and address the Typewriter Tick issues with Mustangs
To this day I have not heard one in person. If I had one at my disposal that made the sound then I would go from there. I appreciate your request! I will try to make it happen!
@@RaitisRides feel free to borrow mine
Where are you located?
Praying next year in the summer I'll finally get one 🙏
Don't do it, the engine will develop the loud engine tick
@@mattjones1378 If it does, I'll do an oil test
You can make it happen!
It will be interesting to see how it turns out!
Tat makes sense!
Raities You are right adding a logo for performance pack 1 and 2 idk why ford did not do that smh i suspect cost cuting they saved a few dollars lol
I think you hit the nail on the head with that!
Great review Joe ! I would buy another Mustang for as long as I live after the song in the dance that Ford has given the people on the GT500 to this date still no true horse power numbers and I honestly do believe the rumor that when they came out with a redeye that freaked ford out in that Ford was ashamed of the numbers of the GT500 so now they’re scrambling to bring them up to par.
It will be interesting to see how it all turns out!
Raiti's Rides I am free! Forward have to do something mighty fantastic for me to change my mind and buy one.
Sorry stupid iPad screwed up what I said was I agree! But ford would have to come out with something truly amazing for me to jump ship back to their mustangs
I agree!
I was able to decipher the issue.
I like how detailed and passionate your are about these vehicles you seem very knowledgeable in this area, I’m facing a Dilemma my 2019 gt pp has magna ride suspension and I would like to lower it I heard the gt350 lowering springs would work good but I’d love you hear it from someone who works hand and Hand with these vehicles
Thank you so much for taking the time to say those wonderful things! I think if you go with the GT350 setup that would be the best route.
Raiti's Rides okay thanks your for the response keep up the great content
Oc course! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Raiti's Rides will do
Great!
This car would be really fun to drive here in Colorado
I think for did a great job with all their mustang models except for their badging they should have had different badging for each variant of mustang to identify the difference between
Looks great. I’d go for the black one.
Can't go wrong with that!
very informative. Thank you!
I have a question for the mustang community. What makes the Tremec transmission an upgrade from the standard 6 spd transmission? Is it more durable? more well-made? Thanks Raiti for your videos.
The Tremec is a dream to drive and it does everything so great!
Holy shit, Raiti answered my question!
thanks a lot, friend.
p.s. i did research on the tremec website and yes, it should be a very good transmission, indeed. ✌️
No problem Ricardo! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to ask. The Tremec shifts so nicely it is incredible!
random questions for you Joe, in regards to your Focus RS. Have you installed an oil catch can? If so or if not, would you prefer the PCV or Crankcase catch cans or both? I've also seen the 1,2 combo with the breather plate. Are these necessary bolt on mods for RS's with low milage or would you advise to install them after 5k,10k,15k, 20k-30k miles? Or are these benefits that come w/ these mods all appealing only in theory?
Love the videos brother
Hi Craig! I have not installed an oil catch can, and not sure if I ever will. I am not sure how much longer I am going to hold on to my RS. If I decide it is going to be longer then I will be adding the same setup that you talked about.Even stock they are really good to have for overall protection. They can be installed when ever you want. I will be giving an update video soon on my RS.
The one dislike is from a camaro owner who lost to a v6 mustang
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think you might be right!
I had a. feeling you would like that!
I don't like the fact that you CANNOT rotate the tires on Performance Pack Mustangs due to differing front and rear tire size.
I think the spoiler on the performance pack one is unique to it and you can’t get that other Mustangs I believe I may be wrong but I think so
No, you are right! That is performance pack 1 only!
Just waiting for these to drop in price and buy used. Hopefully a supercharged one
AGREED!
Didn’t pack one to have magna ride and active exhaust? Mine did mine was a 2018 performers pack one premium anything at all the bells and whistle’s but I sold it for a raptor decided the raptor was just too big around town now I’m driving challenger a redeye LOL what a switch off huh
The silver GT had the active exhaust but not the magnaride. For about $1500 that is a must because it is such a great suspension. That is a very interesting switch to say the least.
Great Videos!! Does the 2019 and up GT Premium have FOLDING MIRRORS ?? Thanks in advance.
Great video however I have the 2019 ford mustang gt pp1 but the spoiler is garbage going to get the duck bill one
Sounds like a plan!
I would take the silver one except with the wheels that comes on the black one
Thanks for sharing your input on these Mustangs!
Awesome job Joe. Thank you!
That really means a lot!
