When I was a kid we expected to have to do a clutch every 100K.. And all we drove were manuals.. Auto's in the 70's, 80's, 90's and even through the 2000's just sucked.. There were no 10 speeds, or dual clutch autos.. There was nothing like that.. The automatic's were usually a lot slower because of the drive train loss.. But now they make them so well it's hard to argue against the auto's.. But I will always prefer a manual sports car always.. You just feel more connected, involved, and a lot more fun..
It wasn't just because of drivetrain loss that had little to do with it. They were 3 and 4 speed autos the gearing sucked ass and they were super lazy too with factory converter. The new autos have way more gears thus way more aggressive gearing and they shift quicker because they're computer controlled and stuff they no longer have a gearing disadvantage against manuals they actually having a gearing advantage in the case if the 10r80. I am manual all the way I can't do autos no matter how good it is it'll never be a manual.
I'm sure if kept stock and well maintained, a Mustang GT will last as long as an F150. 200,000+ miles, easy. If heavily modified and pushed hard, probably not. The factory tune on the Mustang and (Especially) the F150 are meant to balance power, fuel economy, and longevity.
You’d be surprised…thatdudeinblue has a video has a video of his supercharged 160k mileage 2013 that he definitely beats on. That video was a few years ago and i’m pretty sure he still has it today. That’s just one example, coyotes are super tough motors and can take a surprising amount of abuse as long as basic maintenance is kept up
@@JH7xXCampusit'll last as long as you take care of it and maintain it properly. Don't beat on a cold engine and you know common sense stuff. Everybody acts like they're gonna just fall apart over 100k lol. Not true at all (if they're taken care of) you don't have to baby it or keep it stock just maintain the damn thing
It's all on how you take care of it just like anything! I honestly believe it has a bad reputation for the wrong reasons! Hopefully yours lasts as well!
@@runsgoodbutsmokesthe factory clutch causes high rpm lockout and people almost always blame that on the Trans itself. And people say they suck just because others say it without any first hand knowledge. Alot of guys just can't drive for shit too that's always a factor.
Im about to pull the trigger on a 2015 with 94k miles with the performance package for only 18k. Kind of nervous but i already have a daily so i dont need it to be perfect. I eventually want to learn how to rebuild the coyote engine myself so i think it may be worth the risk.
Would you plan to replace belts and valve cover gaskets soon? I’m at 96k miles, so far replacing the clutch w/ a Mcleoud, alternator, radiator hose. My car is tuned with long tubes+gt350 intake manifold, and gets tracked often. I’m even thinking if preventatively installing forged internals is good insurance. Would just be expensive rip
That might not be a bad idea to do the belt, but the valve cover gaskets... if it were me, if they're not leaking no point in changing them. That's your call! Thanks for the interest and you car sounds like it'd be pretty quick!
Don't fool with forged internals with an na 5.0 that is still running fine. No reason. Even boosted they can take alot of power reliably gen 2 is the best coyote imo. It'll be fine long as you maintain it. If the gaskets aren't leaking don't bother belts is a good idea. Same with coil packs plugs regular oil changes and change trans fluid if you haven't already auto or manual. Do research on what's best to run.

Thank you because I ran up 40k miles in mines last year alone now sitting at 120,000 miles didn’t think my car would last another 2 years 🥹💯
My 2017 mustang is stock, my daily driver has 167000 on it and and so reliable.

I have a 2017 gt with 57,800 miles. engine blew up, covered under warranty! I drive mine like I stole it. definitely going to drive normal now
And so many people saying the MT82 is garbage! Guess what? This car proves otherwise! Mine has been great 63k miles zero issues

That'd be a great car! I recently sold this car with almost 150k miles. Original clutch and everything. Taken care of it'll last!
ik im late but how is it holding up?
Not bad looking at one in cali for $23,495 with 57,400 miles
