I LOVE my HPP/HP 2020 Magnetic Metallic. This video convinced me a few years ago and I finally snagged one a couple months ago. Found a garage kept one with only 5500 miles.
Peronally I would buy the HP ECO Mustang over the Mustang GT. Mainly because of the sound. I don't care for loud sounding V8's but I like power. I know, know. I'm in the minority on that one.
I like V8s, I’m thinking the ecoboost will be my first “muscle car” as a weekend racer, for burnouts and an overall project car. I’m 15, I can’t afford insurance on my truck, the other truck I’m getting this year and a GT mustang. I would love to though
I really enjoy watching these F2F comparison videos, with these you don't even need to visit the dealership lol (unless you've already made up your mind and gonna purchase).
This comparison actually just helped me make a decision on my new Ford Mustang EcoBoost HPP, and I'm very happy with the handling and power. I got the handling package which is a must, and the 6 speed manual which is very good. I can't wait to take it on a track day and play with some other cars. I have a feeling it's going to do Very well in the corners...
Very good point at 17:25 , a lot of people zonk the price being more than base gt, but people dont think about how the base gt does not have magneride, 12 inch display, sound system upgrades and all the other goodies, not to mention v8 insurance and gas price costs!
This was extremely well done, Joe. A spec sheet can only tell you so much and it's often hard to get a test drive that allows one to exercise the handling capabilities of a car. This comparison answered all of my questions about the two vehicles. Thanks.
Man, I keep going back to the drawing board between 2018 gt or 2020 hpp ecoboost... I absolutely LOVE the front end of the HPP, really shows just how many differences their are versus a "normal" ecoboost when they're sitting side by side. Thanks for the Quality content like always, Joe!
I’m also glad you mentioned about the base GT, similar pricing yes. But you get nothing out of what you get with a fully loaded HPP Mustang with all the goodies. If you option a GT the same way, you’re paying 50k for one
I think people who bash these high dollar ecoboost forget that a fully loaded gt can cost around 50 grand! A base model gt convertible is 43 (correct me if I'm wrong). The 12 inch display, leather interior, High Performance Package/Handling Package and all other amenities is a good price for 43! Considering with some additional parts and and tune your outperforming a GT. This is also a fully loaded HPP EcoBoost so you may be able to find some that are in the mid to high 30's minus some niceties.
Additional parts on an Ecoboost outperforming a standard GT? The trade-off is that these cars motor is unrefined and thrashy and you don't get great MPG. I had one for a week and it was awful. You can get a GT in the 30'd easily. Having driven the Ecoboost I would never pay outside of the 20s for that thing.
Hey Joe, I'm actually planning on getting a Mustang Ecoboost in the next month or so, and honestly you have really helped me decide on what to go with, so thanks a lot!
What a great video. This is the first video I've seen on the Eco Boost (both versions) that was so detailed and with so much driving time. I"m a GT guy but the High performance is really really nice.
I with you on the comment about gt350 being a manual. It's all about the nostalgia of the 350. If would have been one of those cars you could only get in an automatic I wouldn't own a gt350. It completes the car. The six speed and the clutch is smooth as silk.
Hey Joe, great video , I totally get what you are trying to put across . Ford has always had options for all Mustang Owners, so there will always be people choosing the V 8 or the 6 and now the 4cyl.. I have owned them all , ending up with the 2018 Eco... I am having a blast getting around town, so to each their own, just remember , in a sense all us Ford folks are all on the same team. Keep up the great videos Joe.
So I just build the mustang GT PP1 with magneride and voice activation navigation including active anti theft system comes to 48,690 also forgot race stripes
Despite my preference for a V-8, I like this HPP 4-Turbo. The only thing I don't like is the sound. My 2004 VW GTI 1.8T sounds a lot better inside and out. I don't expect a deep V8 rumble, but I would like the HPP to have a deeper, richer sound coming out of the exhaust tips. Otherwise, I really dig it.
Were going around a 35 mph turn at 60 were losing a little traction here lol......I zonk the stitching on the E brake lever as well 43k and they ran out of thread .
A even bigger question is. Why call the highend Mustangs Shelby's? Why not just call them Cobra's? Especially when they have Cobra logos all over them.
@@ddm62571 yeah svo would have been perfect. And I think they go with Shelby because of what happened with the viper. I'm pretty sure Ford was pissed after Shelby and Iacoca created the viper and never wanted to have that happen again so once they use it to differentiate themselves.
I know I sound like everyone else but for the price I'd get a base GT because I love that V8 sound. But this mustang Ecoboost is pretty good for what it is. Great review as always joe.
@ExtraSync Do you not want one that performs up to standard too? Get you a LFP Mustang GT. It'll come with a warranty and won't break the bank when compared to other cars with its power capability. It'll also have the same look. I don't think you'd turn down 800hp.
I have just bought an eco boost high performance mustang. I'm assuming it comes with handling. It has a recall on the brake pedal. I have to wait for them to repair the recall before I can pick it up.
Hell yeah It’s worth it if the buyer likes it and it makes financial sense for them... the real question is why Ford did not badge this Mustang the SVO...
I live in Florida and where I live the dealers try to discourage people from buying used GTs. My sister works at a dealership and told me how they inflate the prices and keep only a few on the lot because it gives people an option NOT to buy the EcoBoost. The EcoBoost is a tough sell and the dealers offer big incentives to get people into them. She said when lightly used GTs come in as trades they auction them instead of cleaning and selling them to not compete with Ecos. The used car stores like Carmax are where a lot of people go and buy used GTs because of the non inflated prices.
2020 EB PP2 -- i'll possibly buy one for the track ?? hopefully a lot better tire wear than my other rides. Upgrade tires and brake pads for track, stick a roller bar in it and hammer down!! It's kinda slow but looks like it might be lots of fun to drive at 10/10 for a lot less $$.
Great comparison showing why to never buy a base EcoBoost. My sister would drive one because she likes the way Mustangs look but doesn't really care about performance. Personally, i'd sit on cloth seats all day long in a base GT over any 4 banger. Even if the power was the same, i could not live with that sound. More GT 350 please! 😉
Joe gotta ask again.. how does the HPP handling compare with a '19 Eco equipped with the '19 PP? I can have the tires lose it, but that does take quite a bit. Holds the line quite nice as well.
I believe, although the same displacement, the engines are not the same. The HPP motor is made in Spain and and the block is more robust than the standard 2.3 motor.
Well done Joe! I don't know why I missed out on this EcoBoost with HPP when it first came out. I guess it was really due to V8 bias but honestly, the more I learn about this Mustang EcoBoost with the HPP the more impressed I am especially with that handling package and the fact Ford offers this in a 6 speed manual is the icing on the cake. I enjoy driving and not constant visits to the pump so this Mustang with 330+ horsepower, RWD, 6-speed manual, active exhaust and great MPGs is really getting my attention. Thanks and again well done!
Joe touched on this before... Ford does not want an EcoBoost to be as fast as a GT. Could it be?... yes, if you get it tuned. But then again you can also get a GT tuned.
The orange one looks nice with the blackout trim, which I usually prefer, but the silver HPP version, it's so much nicer. Not cheap, but reasonable for everything it has, and the performance and handling, and for much less than a GT with the same equipment. I am trying to avoid turbos in general, but I know this is much more reliable than the Camaros or other GM cars now, and it should be good to go if you change the synthetic oil often, proper maintenance and care, and do thrash it.
Love the Colour on the more standard Mustang. Orange & Black have always been a great combination. In my part of the world silver is no big deal just what the dealers ordered because they are afraid of having to choose a colour. One salesman told me they order silver because it does not show dirt.
Again liking this video before watching it because u r true car guru and u r working very hard I can see that which I really appreciate and respect that
The v6 sounds decent, but it’s slower than the ecoboost, and I get high 20’s to 30 average mpg on a road trip on the highway. I was really afraid of the ecoboost being too much like a Subaru, but it’s really great. Sound is good, performance is awesome.
conditions must be perfect. And it's highly dependent on trans. The auto gets to 60 much faster because you don't have any shifting delay. The Ecoboost I rented that made me want one got to 60 faster consistently than my six speed GT but after that it got left in the dust. That's why I don't like the GT 500, yeah the auto performs better in the numbers game but lacks severely in smiles per gallon compared to the stick.
Nice comparison review Joe! Do not know why the HPP Ecoboost is only 330 HP when the Focus RS with basically the same engine is 350 HP. Both have the same 350 torque🤔
Richard Romero 200hp will do fine in the city, the car has plenty low end torque. In the highway it’ll have best in class fuel economy(40mpg I believe), and will have decent passing power.
You do realize Howard Mustangs always came with different engines other then a V8. 330 HP and 350 torque. Fine for me as most people will NEVER EVER get their V8 GT or GT350 on a track.
Prob better to wait for discounts and rebates if you want the HPP EB. Weeks later, I don’t see how you don’t go the GT (or SS/392 if you like the competition) route with that price range. Don’t hate the EB, but it’s not worth 40k lol
2) sorry, one more question: Can you get the Black accent package WITH the HPP?? (I really like the black roof!) Love these comparison videos Joe! Pls keep em coming. :)
HI after I purchased my 2020 premium echo boots hpp # 630 I found your add, Wow very nice MY ruby red 10 spd blk leather stitched digital Cluster, drag strip mod,s 3.55 rear axle loaded This car can easily be one of one. everyone that's has seen this car says they haven't seen another like this 1 of 1
Wait those front bumpers were designed after the Darth Vader? No wonder how it looked so familiar. I fell in lose with that design as soon as I saw it and now I finally figured out why.
All mustangs have a limited slip differential included as standard equipment at no extra charge. The difference here is that the HPP has a Torsen differential with steeper 3.55 gears. Check any base ecoboost Mustang window sticker under functional for the excerpt below *****LIMITED SLIP REAR AXLE ****
Got a question: How does having different size tires on the front and back effect "rotating the tires"?? Do you just not do it? Or is it better to have all the same size? How do you chose? (I understand better performance reasons) Thx!!
Jonathan A it’s how the rear wheels connect to the driveline. You need it because wheels turn at different speeds in corners. They slip however so it’s better to have limited-slip differential.
Really surprised you would say that Joe! Base Mustang GT or an EcoBoost with top tier trim. I really, being an enthusiast, thought you would take the GT base over an upgraded EcoBoost. The HI PO Ecobooost is a great car. It really is. But if I’m buying a Mustang, I’m buying a Mustang. And that means GT and a big fat, loud V8. Otherwise, if I’m more concerned about a nicer interior in a 4 cylinder turbo over a 302 with 460 HP but with cloth seats… if that were the case, I’d buy a Focus RS, or a Golf R or even, dare I say, a WRX STI. Those a 4 cylinder turbos like the EcoBoost but they are smaller cars. Lighter cars. They were built with a 4 banger in mind. Very surprised to hear you would take a 4 cykinder ECOBOOST with an upgraded interior over a GT with the V8. To me, half the emotion from cars comes from the sound, growl of engine and exhaust note. And the Mustang has the best sound in the biz. I’m disappointed In your decision Joe Raiti
I bought a GT with performance pack level 1, automatic transmission and tech package for a total of 38500 in 2018. These ecoboost are amazingly expensive. 43k for ecoboost🤯😬
I am a proud owner of a 2019 EcoBoost Premium. With that being said, I love my car, but there is no way on this green planet that I’d pay $43k for an Eco when I can pay $44k for a nicely spec’ed GT. However, this Performance Pack Eco is probably the best handling car next to the GT350 because of the weight difference.
I like this car. I think Ford missed an opportunity to revive the SVO...this is going to be a niche in the Mustang world anyway (happens when your 5.0 is so beloved and GOOD!). They should give it a European flair, almost like a poor man's M3, in wheel style, do the NACA scoop on the hood to cool the engine as a nod to the 80's SVO, maybe a bi-plane spoiler on back...as you can tell, this is experiencing the same fate as the SVO did...people like it, but they don't love it, and love is what gets the buy these days. But keep this in mind...this HPP 4 cylinder Mustang would probably walk an LS6 454 Chevelle in the quarter mile. What a time to be a performance car fan!

The sound has to do with the engine a v8 sounds aggressive, a 4 cylinder sounds like a bike 😂😂
@@bradley2723 not true. Sounds like a reved up sewing machine
@@alfonso87ful 😂😂
As a GT PP1 owner, I would clearly go Coyote ALL DAY long. With that said, this HPP is still a sweet ride

in my opinion its not the initial costs but the other costs that make the difference, gas and insurance can make a huge difference in ownership costs

Get a gt bruh
That is so awesome of you to say! I am so glad that I could be part of the process!
To each their own.
@@deezz_nugs7067 not 100% decided, i might end up getting a GT, i may change my mind by the time im at the dealer ready to purchase
EDIT: Ended up getting a GT, really happy with that decision!
The exhaust doesnt sound bad considering the engine size
I think that is a great way to put it!
It sounds like a lawnmower when it’s idling tbh
I perfer a lower tone. Don't care for the loud V8 sound
ddm62571 fair enough, to each their own.
That exhaust sounds great on the performance package 😍
I am so glad that you liked it Sergio!

Thanks for the review. This sounds like a fun set up. Zonked for not using turn signals and crossing solid white lines. Big pet peeve for me.
I know I sound like everyone else but for the price I'd get a base GT because I love that V8 sound. But this mustang Ecoboost is pretty good for what it is. Great review as always joe.
Thanks my friend!
I wouldn’t buy a base model of any car lol if you can’t afford a legit version don’t buy it
Casey Moore Have fun with you’re 2nd place trophy. Mustangs are for performance not luxury. To heck with leather.
AJ Seeman unless you only use your mustang to race you’re a moron
@ExtraSync Do you not want one that performs up to standard too? Get you a LFP Mustang GT. It'll come with a warranty and won't break the bank when compared to other cars with its power capability. It'll also have the same look. I don't think you'd turn down 800hp.

I know I'm a broken record.

They maybe didnt go with that engine bc they were trying to stay fuel efficient and lighter
@@vincentp4951 Well the F150 went with it for That Precise Reason.
@falchulk I dont care what you say...the SHO engine is more powerful? Yes
Its lighter than the Coyote
Yes
So go away!
@falchulk Comprehend this Idiot: what Engine is in the New Ford GT?
A Turbocharged Six Cylinder? Why? Because I'm Right & you dont understand cars!
Joe touched on this before... Ford does not want an EcoBoost to be as fast as a GT. Could it be?... yes, if you get it tuned. But then again you can also get a GT tuned.
The orange one looks nice with the blackout trim, which I usually prefer, but the silver HPP version, it's so much nicer.

Love the Colour on the more standard Mustang. Orange & Black have always been a great combination. In my part of the world silver is no big deal just what the dealers ordered because they are afraid of having to choose a colour. One salesman told me they order silver because it does not show dirt.
Again liking this video before watching it because u r true car guru and u r working very hard I can see that which I really appreciate and respect that
The V6 makes me happier. Mileage to Vegas and back from SD with A/C ,doing 75Mph. 19.9 MPG.
The v6 sounds decent, but it’s slower than the ecoboost, and I get high 20’s to 30 average mpg on a road trip on the highway. I was really afraid of the ecoboost being too much like a Subaru, but it’s really great. Sound is good, performance is awesome.
Can we get a 0-60 pull? I'm wondering if it lives up to 4.5 seconds
I will get that together for you!
conditions must be perfect. And it's highly dependent on trans. The auto gets to 60 much faster because you don't have any shifting delay. The Ecoboost I rented that made me want one got to 60 faster consistently than my six speed GT but after that it got left in the dust. That's why I don't like the GT 500, yeah the auto performs better in the numbers game but lacks severely in smiles per gallon compared to the stick.
Is the orange mustang a premium???? I thought standard only had 1 exhaust in each side ??????
Come on Joe..You had fun with that slide in the regular Eco! Admit it!
Of course man!
Nice comparison review Joe! Do not know why the HPP Ecoboost is only 330 HP when the Focus RS with basically the same engine is 350 HP. Both have the same 350 torque🤔
I totally agree with you Robert! It has me scratching my head!
Because they don't want to step on the GT's toes.
@@DragonKnightX12 ford tuned it to have a broader torque band
Joe, the 4 cylinder Camry does it have plenty of power, or do you prefer the v6
Richard Romero 200hp will do fine in the city, the car has plenty low end torque. In the highway it’ll have best in class fuel economy(40mpg I believe), and will have decent passing power.
I like the smoothness of the V6.
That is a great point Jimmy!
@@jimmypena2442 thank you
@@RaitisRides thanks Joe
I guess if the engine isnt the deal breaker for you, you could get a fully loaded ecoboost for around the lower gt models.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I really appreciate you watching!
Again I ask. What’s the point of having a 2.3 high performance mustang?
For those that want more but not more cylinders.
You do realize Howard Mustangs always came with different engines other then a V8.
330 HP and 350 torque. Fine for me as most people will NEVER EVER get their V8 GT or GT350 on a track.
I think every Mustang has a limited slip differential (just the gear ratio/type is different)
In this video you say that the regular EcoBoost engine has a zero to sixty in about 5.2 seconds, is this correct?
yes
price please ????
One of these in the used market is going to be a steal! Might have to check it out .
I totally agree with you.
Be a steal new. I priced one fully loaded with the 10-SP at $44k.
Get some discounts, easily in Type-R price range.
Are these EcoBoost Premiums or just EcoBoost? I ask because I like the digital dashboard and sync 3, which I reckon are only in the Premium trims.
How much gas do you guys average on the 2020 hpp ecoboost premium?
What, did the sewing machine break? Hahahahaha that was great!!!
LMAO! I love it!
Prob better to wait for discounts and rebates if you want the HPP EB. Weeks later, I don’t see how you don’t go the GT (or SS/392 if you like the competition) route with that price range. Don’t hate the EB, but it’s not worth 40k lol
It depends on how many dealers are getting!
2) sorry, one more question: Can you get the Black accent package WITH the HPP?? (I really like the black roof!)
Love these comparison videos Joe! Pls keep em coming. :)
No you cant, its two different packages
@@unimportantsir7915 well that sucks! thx for reply!
Actually you can't Laurie. Thanks for being so awesome and always watching!
I agree with both comments!
Hey Joe you coming in a little hot there you almost went off... I was laughing so hard as you were driving I was thinking the same thing lol
Thanks Jonny for letting me share the laughs with you! It's always an adventure!
Would it be upbadging if I put the ST or RS badge on this bad boy?
super great content Joe love it keep up the great work, ur the best UA-cam's channel out there and growing fast the best from the heart
Thanks Chris for being part of the Raiti's Rides Family!
HI after I purchased my 2020 premium echo boots hpp # 630 I found your add, Wow very nice MY ruby red 10 spd blk leather stitched digital Cluster, drag strip mod,s 3.55 rear axle loaded This car can easily be one of one. everyone that's has seen this car says they haven't seen another like this 1 of 1
That orange mustang is KinG.Thank you,Joe
If I'm correct, with the EcoBoost High Performance Package for a convertible, you Can't get the optional Handing Package from what I understand.
Wait those front bumpers were designed after the Darth Vader? No wonder how it looked so familiar. I fell in lose with that design as soon as I saw it and now I finally figured out why.
I a so glad that I could share that with you!
Meh you are one of the few. The original I think looked way better and I'm happy Ford didn't give the Shelby's the catfish treatment.
I like the comparison video. I had been hoping you would compare these two mustangs.
Thanks Gregory! I am so glad that you enjoyed this one!
I'm pretty sure 5Star tuning will come up out with a program to boost the power!!
I have to decide between mustang gt and benz c300 or c200
What u recommend cheers
For some reason, no one yet has done a full track test of the new Ecoboost Mustang.
I would love to be the first!
Raiti's Rides you’d be the first to test it and I’ll get the 🍿
All mustangs have a limited slip differential included as standard equipment at no extra charge. The difference here is that the HPP has a Torsen differential with steeper 3.55 gears. Check any base ecoboost Mustang window sticker under functional for the excerpt below

Got a question: How does having different size tires on the front and back effect "rotating the tires"?? Do you just not do it? Or is it better to have all the same size? How do you chose? (I understand better performance reasons) Thx!!
HI Laurie! When tires are different sizes you do not rotate them.
@@RaitisRides Thx for reply! I knew you didn't fully rotate, but thought they might just go left to right/ right to left. But doubted that would help.
@@cavlizzy on race track type tire wear it helps. on Street not too much
Really like this version. With the limited slip, could this be a year round vehicle?
This is the best review ever, you helped me choose mine
What's a differential and how does it being a different number affect the car?
Jonathan A it’s how the rear wheels connect to the driveline. You need it because wheels turn at different speeds in corners. They slip however so it’s better to have limited-slip differential.
Stephen answered this one nicely!
Thanks for the assist!
How are you Joe I'm a fan of that 2020 Mustang Ecoboost have to check it out
Would love to see a gen 5 viper on the channel, if you can get your hands on one!
So would I! I will try to track one down.
Raiti's Rides thanks and good luck!
Great work Joe ! Thanks for the great review.
Thank brother! I really appreciate that!
Would like to see a comparison with the HPP and the base GT.
I will get that together for you Gary!
@@RaitisRides Sounds great, thank you!
Really surprised you would say that Joe! Base Mustang GT or an EcoBoost with top tier trim. I really, being an enthusiast, thought you would take the GT base over an upgraded EcoBoost. The HI PO Ecobooost is a great car. It really is. But if I’m buying a Mustang, I’m buying a Mustang. And that means GT and a big fat, loud V8. Otherwise, if I’m more concerned about a nicer interior in a 4 cylinder turbo over a 302 with 460 HP but with cloth seats… if that were the case, I’d buy a Focus RS, or a Golf R or even, dare I say, a WRX STI. Those a 4 cylinder turbos like the EcoBoost but they are smaller cars. Lighter cars. They were built with a 4 banger in mind. Very surprised to hear you would take a 4 cykinder ECOBOOST with an upgraded interior over a GT with the V8. To me, half the emotion from cars comes from the sound, growl of engine and exhaust note. And the Mustang has the best sound in the biz. I’m disappointed In your decision Joe Raiti
1970 Cobra Jet 428, 0-60 5.7 seconds, 1/4 mile 14.3 100mph, 2018 ecoboost, 0-60 5.3 , 1/4 mile 13.9 97.2 mph. Context.
And the 1970 takes about three times longer to stop and burns three times the gas and handles like a pregnant roller skate

I bought a GT with performance pack level 1, automatic transmission and tech package for a total of 38500 in 2018.
These ecoboost are amazingly expensive. 43k for ecoboost🤯😬
$43k I think is fully loaded with the 401A package and B&O system l.
Once discounts roll it will be down under $40k.
They should've kept the v6 instead of the EcoBoost. The v6 engine sounds way better especially with a good exhaust setup
The turbo-4 is faster.
IMO V6 engines sound horrible, like a combination of the worst atfributes of both 4cyl and 8cyl engines and they guzzle fuel too
I am a proud owner of a 2019 EcoBoost Premium. With that being said, I love my car, but there is no way on this green planet that I’d pay $43k for an Eco when I can pay $44k for a nicely spec’ed GT. However, this Performance Pack Eco is probably the best handling car next to the GT350 because of the weight difference.
I would gladly pay "$43" for ANY new car :P
mugdays lol $43k
Thanks for sharing that great input!
Raiti's Rides Yes Sir! Great content that you produce by the way!!
Fantastic comparison. I learned a lot.
Thank you for taking the time to say that!
3600lbs?! Good grief. I'll zonk that!
Love your energy, man. Thanks
Thanks man!
Raiti what’s the best used sports car for under 50k rn? Or should I wait to find a used c8 next year?
Get anything except Dodge don't do it!
Theres also a first gen r35 lol.
My base ecoboost comes with a lsd btw
Does it have a V8 in it
Wow
No it does not!
You are so awesome ERIC!
I only buy EcoBoost high-performance package and Shelby gt 500. others are pointless for me
I like this car. I think Ford missed an opportunity to revive the SVO...this is going to be a niche in the Mustang world anyway (happens when your 5.0 is so beloved and GOOD!). They should give it a European flair, almost like a poor man's M3, in wheel style, do the NACA scoop on the hood to cool the engine as a nod to the 80's SVO, maybe a bi-plane spoiler on back...as you can tell, this is experiencing the same fate as the SVO did...people like it, but they don't love it, and love is what gets the buy these days. But keep this in mind...this HPP 4 cylinder Mustang would probably walk an LS6 454 Chevelle in the quarter mile. What a time to be a performance car fan!
i would prefer to get the other bank of for cylinders to go with it
Those base ecoboost front calipers are 2 pistons not 4
Thanks for the info Ryan.
Joe I drive a base mustang gt ;(
And you get to smile at the sound it makes, rather than cringe. 😉
@@moflow99 that's true lol.it sounds good lol
Gas mileage may suck unless going downhill.
Hey Raiti, what was the torque for the standard eco boost mustang?
Google it
They are bot 350 lb-ft torque!
You are hilarious!
Raiti's Rides I checked around but didn’t find the torque on their main website. Guess my searching skills aren’t the greatest lolThanks Raiti! 🙌🏼
Thorough comparison. I really enjoyed this
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
