30 mpg out of the king coyote is just crazy. You got an engine that has gone 7s factory sealed but it can also get the mileage of a Kia soul. Incredible 🤙
Great review, Tommy, as always! I've always been a Mustang fan, nothing sounds like that 5.0 Coyote V8, what a great engine. But 30 MPG with 486 HP? WOW!
4 місяці тому+1
The 5.0 is a real gem, the 486 HP is just amazing. It's one of the very best automotive engines ever.
Enjoyed the review Tommy and Case. As always, your straight to the points you want to make, no razzle dazzle or wasted time. I appreciate that in your videos.
I bought a base GT grabber blue in 2023 for $40k. It was just as the 2024 was coming out, and I hated the interior screens and some of the exterior design, so I got one of the last new S550s. It’s an awesome car, does what I want it to do, which is be a fast, comfortable cruiser.
I have had my DH Premium since April and LOVE the screens. I've owned a 96 GT and an 03 Cobra Terminator. I really enjoy being able to change the gauge clusters and they recently updated it with the 99-01 SVT Cobra cluster [which also happens to be the 03-04 cluster] and love it. The second screen provides PLENTY of visual landscape to finally make everything usable instead of a calculator screen.
Twice in the video you recommend skipping the "big brakes" yet at 12:13, in a non-controlled test admittedly, it looks like the Dark Horse stopped a good 25-40 feet shorter than your base GT w/o the performance brakes. That is not insignificant, and even at more normal speeds a few feet or inches could make the difference in avoiding a collision. The performance brakes are a separate option and seem like a valid choice by way of safety to consider. (Acknowledging that quicker braking may increase the risk of the guy behind you not reacting fast enough...can't have everything.) 😀
That would be more due to tires. The big brakes would let you keep braking hard without fading as bad but that little brake test they did was mostly due to summer tires on the other car.
@@ahtoomians Makes sense, thanks for the explanation. It seems if you are not planning to race/track your V8 there is little value getting the big brakes.
@@compwhizpl4177 i would agree with you. i have a '23 gt without the performance pack brakes, and it still has MASSIVE 4 piston front calipers and especially with performance tires they are great on the street.
@@ahtoomians Thanks again. As someone potentially specing out a GT build this year, this is one of the "bubble" options where the $2k just didn't seem worth it unless you had that specific purpose in mind, both for current sticker and future maintenance costs. And if one really wanted larger brakes later for performance or style, there is always aftermarket.
Hey TFL, I wish you kept this Mustang for at least a year or 12,000 miles, just to see if any other issues come up, especially being a new design. I know a lot of the chassis is carry over, but still like to see how it does over a longer period of time. Sorry to see it go, I am Happy Ford still has a great V8 Mustang. It will be a sad day when the Mustang becomes electric or a four cylinder hybrid. Also, Great job to Ford for offering a powerful V8 that can get 30 miles per gallon on a trip, that ten speed really seems to finally be tuned in with the engine well.
I was thinking the same thing, that a "long term test" is probably 10-12k miles and/or 12-18 months of use. Ashame. I am sure there is a cost/benefit calc involved for the UA-cam auto channels i.e. the review value of keeping the car around longer versus flipping the asset before it depreciates too much.
Had a 2020 GT with the Performance Pack, MagneRide and 10 speed automatic. I can vouch that it was a legit corner carver in the north GA, NC, TN and VA mountain roads!
You need to drive a real sports car if you think a Mustang is a corner carver lol. I’ve had PP GTs and they suck in the corners. The only Mustang that can handle with anything is the GT350
@@OceanicMaestro 😂 why would he lie? Mustang sucks ass on corners. The only mustang that’s decent is the pp2 but that’s because it have 305 front tires to save it from under steering.
Other than the 2 wide screen monitors this would be a great cruiser. 18 in. rubber is better so it doesn't kill the ride quality. 19 and 20 in. rims are meant for the track not the street.
Hey Tommy, how about doing a video teaching all the TFL staff how to drive a manual transmission I think that video would be a success. We need to start teaching this young generation so we could still have manual transmission option on sports cars.
@powerofme7144 honestly I've owned the manual and the auto, the manual mt-82, despite many people online complaining about it gave me over 100,000 miles with zero issues, it's a solid transmission if you can drive a manual, if you drive in traffic a lot or just plan on racing a lot... The auto is a lot faster.. drive both.. make a decision
@ Much appreciated! My neighbor owns a 22 with the auto and a Whipple. He’s steering me towards auto as well but I don’t plan on SC’ing and Ive driven manuals since 15 years old. It’s gonna take me maybe two test drives each, manual and auto. I don’t plan on any long distance driving but I do have some hip/low back pain the comes up when I do. I dread ever driving through ATL though.
Great mileage. A few more MPG than my 6.2 2SS Camaro. But DO NOT waste your money on the exhaust. You'll put it in track mode and never change it. If you don't want to be loud keep your foot off the floor. Bought it on my Camaro and it hasn't been out of track mode since it drove off the lot.
This country is in a sad state where $42,000 was the cheapest mustang and next year it’s going up another 12 grand it’s no longer going to be the economical affordable fun sports car but something that you’re gonna have to be pretty well off to own.
When I had a '19 gt premium, it was a really good daily driver. Easily high 20mpg on road trips and low 20mpg daily. Once the new car market cools down, you'll find huge discounts on these.
I have drove both Mustang and Cameros. My 18 SS Is my forever car! And you’re right about ride quality, the Camero is built on GMs Alfa platform. As for cheap interiors and rattles, the Mustang has always been lacking from a quality standpoint. One more fun fact, go to your local Ford dealership and see how many of the mechanics drive Mustangs. Not a whole lot as you will see.

The Mustang has a cheap looking interior compared to a Camaro? That's funny.
I if buying a new car would prefer one without all the extra gadgets. Only features I need are heat and AC, cruise control, large seats, and a real shifter not a dial or tap shifter. Either in a full size sedan or crossover. The extra gadgets are something else to go wrong and a way for them to spy on you one way or another.
You are absolutely right that is is all about the coyote V8 sound! I want a mustang gt even though it isn't really any faster than my 2023 Elantra N with a good tune. You just can't beat the coyote V8 sound! I'll live with the heavier car knowing it sounds so good and with forced induction it is miles above my turbo inline 4. You are wrong about the performance pack, though. You need that if you are actually going to push the car. It is one thing to do a quick pull in a straight line, it is quite another to actually drive the car near it's limit.
FlowDisaster? Really? The hollow and cheap sounding exhaust manufacturer? Know what, you're right! There is nothing that sounds quite like flowdumpster. Cars with that brand exhaust are always very distinct, I can always accurately pick them out when I hear a muscle car that sounds like distinct trash!
I have a base Gt I only added a sway bar and it made a huge difference around corners. Base is louder inside than a premium. Everyday or main car get a premium. 2nd car or weekend car get the base. I can fit camping chairs in the back and full fishing poles.
the interior was the top reason. I was surprised I get so many nice car hell yeah and what year is that every time I drive. I mean every time and it just a base.
I’ll stick to my 2022 S550 I like that interior way more than the new one, also the plastic greyish shit at the back bumper is ugly as h*ll. By the way I have driven almost 500 miles on a tank and I have the 5.0.
I, for one, am not tired of looking at this Mustang. I'm still baffled by the two screens in the base models. It's the same information. Doesn't it cost more to make two screen enclosures instead of one?
We love our 2022 Mustang. We purchased it with the four cylinder eco-boost, but as a convertible. It's a great summer driving enjoyment. BTW.... The 2022 dashboard is a lot better looking!
The interior does not bother me , I had an 05 GT. The screens are horrendous! Why can’t they integrate them better? They look like somebody JBWelded them on the dash . One of the reasons , there were a few , I had to let it go after about Ten years, was a bad left knee, and the clutch in traffic was getting to be too much, if it had been an automatic I might not have let it go. But it certainly didn’t get that good of gas mileage 😂
I cannot understand how, in this day and age, heated seats are even considered a "luxury" item in the US... It's absolutely unfathomable to me how you can sell *_any_* vehicle without heated seats! That's basically like selling a vehicle without windshield wipers because it never rains where it's sold! Heated seats belong to the most basic of basic features of cars since the 80's! It's not a luxury, it's an essential basic function!
@@renemorris3167probably won’t age well and they have so many critical features that if they break your car is now bricked until it’s fixed. But really this isn’t new, I got the s550 because of the price and the buttons only to find out that some things can only be done in the screen as well 🤷♂️
If you are trying to sell it, probably not a good idea to talk about drag racing it incessantly. And a $42,000 GT is not going to have a premium interior when the Average price of a new vehicle is close to $50,000.
@@mowcowbell I had no idea.. I grew up in California, and I’ve lived in Texas, Nevada, and now Georgia, and I’ve never seen 85 octane before. Interesting how the elevation affects things. 👍🏼
30 MPG is very unrealistic. 21-23 is what you should expect with daily driving the GT, and if you happen to live in a very flat area you could realistically see upwards of 25.
TFL could get more good content if they added a supercharger to this Mustang. Particularly if they detailed the installation and costs, then ran it up against more expensive vehicles. I will miss it.
The interior is such a huge downgrade from the S550 generation in my opinion. Looks and feels cheap and low quality. Even something as simple as the new “button” cluster at the bottom of the center stack replacing the metal switches has a huge impact on the feel
At 12:25 you were talking about price. The first new vehicle I bought was a '74 Ford Courier in '75. It cost $3,300. For a two year loan at $104 a month. Times were better back then. 🤑🤔 Now 🤔🤢🤮😭
It’s hilarious how reviewers complain about the interior, but at the same time complain about price tag, you get the cheap you get cheap buddy common sense
They complain because the cheap interior on a “cheap” car is is not the same. If the mustang was $25k, the cheap interior would be fine. But $47k and you get the cheap interior. That is what the complaint is about
The exterior of this generation of Mustang is by far the worst in Mustang’s history. This car should have been Mustang’s high water mark. It is likely to be the very last gasoline-powered Mustang, the last Mustang with an available manual transmission, truly the end of an era and Ford phoned its design in. I will never forgive them for that. I’ve loved Mustangs since I was a kid, have owned a 65 coupe with a 289, a 68 coupe with a 289 and an 88 X-Florida Highway Patrol LX 5.0 SSP and I have absolutely 0 interest in owning the current Mustang.
Who the heck are talking too that thinks a Mustang is the size of a GR86??? Mustangs and Camaros are everywhere, so people know what size they are. Mustangs have never been that small, except for maybe the Mustang II. You're audience here are car people, and know they're cars. So if you're talking about non car people, they wouldn't know what a GR86 is anyway.
Its so sad seeing all these people in the comments saying the auto is better because its faster. The death of the drivers car must be studied. Nobody lives on track or street races their car everyday, so being the fastest does not matter. Only if you care about being able to say your 0-60 time is this. Its about the driving experience, the base gt auto feels so soulless. Its about the driving experience, how connected you are to the vehicle.
I always enjoy laughing at these ridiculous UTube videos whether intentional or otherwise. Let's buy the cheapest V8 mustang we can find and then complain about the interior because we didn't want to pay for the premium package. Then complain about the 10 speed auto after beating everything else on the road that has a manual. Thanks for the laughs, truly entertaining. And no, I'm not going to buy a car from the dealership that paid you to post this commercial.

Yeah the computer screens on the dash really ruined it for me. But I suppose it's easier to work on.
Pretty good assessment. My 5.0 base manual with active exhaust is fast, gets good mileage, has a great trunk and is comfortable
Those screens are the low point of the interior.
True. Ugly, and such a distraction.

Does the base come with less Brembos? Seems like I’ve heard there are variants with the Brembos across the different packages. Thanks

30 MPG is very unrealistic. 21-23 is what you should expect with daily driving the GT, and if you happen to live in a very flat area you could realistically see upwards of 25.
21-23 has been my experience so far in my S650. It’s never been above 23.
Wow a 500bhp mustang beats a corolla oh that's amazing
TFL could get more good content if they added a supercharger to this Mustang. Particularly if they detailed the installation and costs, then ran it up against more expensive vehicles. I will miss it.
Can’t stand the stick on tablet ip
Goodbye, I am gonna miss you Pony 😊
Rated power is on 93. Not 87
The interior is such a huge downgrade from the S550 generation in my opinion. Looks and feels cheap and low quality. Even something as simple as the new “button” cluster at the bottom of the center stack replacing the metal switches has a huge impact on the feel
I got claustrophobic PTSD when he got in the back seat
FYI: You drive from the front seat.
42k otd or 42k plus tax and fees?
At 12:25 you were talking about price. The first new vehicle I bought was a '74 Ford Courier in '75. It cost $3,300. For a two year loan at $104 a month. Times were better back then. 🤑🤔 Now 🤔🤢🤮😭
It’s hilarious how reviewers complain about the interior, but at the same time complain about price tag, you get the cheap you get cheap buddy common sense
How is 47k msrp cheap?? 😂😂
$47k isn't cheap. And it shouldn't have a cheap interior.
They complain because the cheap interior on a “cheap” car is is not the same. If the mustang was $25k, the cheap interior would be fine. But $47k and you get the cheap interior. That is what the complaint is about
87 octane in the coyote retracts the timing, it has knock sensors, ask Char GPT, never use 87, never
Tommy did you do a review of the rental car you had in Hawaii? Lol
Those screens really are atrocious
Hey! Do you handle editing in-house or remotely? I'm an editor and would love to join, if you’re interested.
Why 87 octane?
Yeah, the tablet screens are awful but the overall automobile is fantastic. It's hard to top the Mustang.
30mp wth a 5.0 V8? yea, forget EVs.
The exterior of this generation of Mustang is by far the worst in Mustang’s history.
This car should have been Mustang’s high water mark. It is likely to be the very last gasoline-powered Mustang, the last Mustang with an available manual transmission, truly the end of an era and Ford phoned its design in.
I will never forgive them for that. I’ve loved Mustangs since I was a kid, have owned a 65 coupe with a 289, a 68 coupe with a 289 and an 88 X-Florida Highway Patrol LX 5.0 SSP and I have absolutely 0 interest in owning the current Mustang.
Who the heck are talking too that thinks a Mustang is the size of a GR86??? Mustangs and Camaros are everywhere, so people know what size they are. Mustangs have never been that small, except for maybe the Mustang II. You're audience here are car people, and know they're cars. So if you're talking about non car people, they wouldn't know what a GR86 is anyway.
What about maintenance
Bs mine gets 17 1/2 and I drive very conservatively
I can't afford it, i just got married ... get used to that.
So buy a mustang in a cold state in the winter.
stop with the archive, g wiz man
I would rather buy the s197 to me thats a mustang
WHAT PERFORMANCE PACKAGE IS THIS AND HOW DO YOU GET THE SPLIT SCREEN???...
The base (aka non-premium) cars all have the split screens. The "premium" cars have the single screen.
@@MrHighlyEvolved THANKS I APPRECIATE IT
So same price as Lexus RCF (5.0 V8). Doesn't even compare. Ill take the Lexus every time.
Excuse yourself from this discussion, This is about Camaro and Mustang. who cares what you drive?
@@allanbieger7523 i don't drive an RCF. I would chose one over a mustang or camero though. I like those cars, they just don't hold up as well.
That mofo got married lol
The interior is terrible.
you have a great manly voice man definitely adult
Way overpriced at $43k, for this ugliest interior
They call 7 months long term review lol 🤣
Long term review doesn’t mean 7 month old! 😒😒
So, they made it comfy and floaty. Now if only Lincoln would make a version of this
Maybe next gen we’ll get a mark 9 w/ a turbo 6 and awd. No plans for this chassis.
This guy doing the review on the mustang obviously came from a Toyota Prius😂
Its so sad seeing all these people in the comments saying the auto is better because its faster. The death of the drivers car must be studied. Nobody lives on track or street races their car everyday, so being the fastest does not matter. Only if you care about being able to say your 0-60 time is this. Its about the driving experience, the base gt auto feels so soulless. Its about the driving experience, how connected you are to the vehicle.
Shouldn’t it be a job requirement at TFL to know how to drive a stick? It’s not that difficult to learn.
Wow that interior is awful! How can a interior designer like and approve that!
I always enjoy laughing at these ridiculous UTube videos whether intentional or otherwise. Let's buy the cheapest V8 mustang we can find and then complain about the interior because we didn't want to pay for the premium package. Then complain about the 10 speed auto after beating everything else on the road that has a manual. Thanks for the laughs, truly entertaining. And no, I'm not going to buy a car from the dealership that paid you to post this commercial.
