The 2013 base GT was the lightest model avaiable with a V8. And if you added the Track pak, got you the Boss oil cooler , Radiator , the complete 3:73 rear end drum to drum from a Boss and the tune was more agressive when using 93 octane Just install the Shelby axelbacks which allowed the exaughts more flow and it runs neck and neck with a Boss in acceleration and sounded Fantastic " Yes the handeling was not as good , but could be with some aftermarket shocks and lowering springs You saved $10,000 msrp buying a base GT over a Boss or up to $20,000 because of greddy dealer mark ups on limited avaiability for a Boss The lagunas were fetching almost 100k New because of the hype " Ridiculous 🙄

I am blessed to have a 2013 Mustang V6 with the performance package and manual transmission. Bought it at 53 years of age, and have never looked back. Watched him on the lot for almost 6 months and visited him every week because i could not afford it, but desperately wanted this car. I purchased it on 12/20/2012 due to Ford Rebates and price cuts, just before Christmas, and picker him up on the next day. Then snow fell on Sunday and the Mustang went into storage. I still have this car to this very day, same color blue, but with the glass roof. BEST sports car I have ever had... Thank you FORD Motor Company for making this dream come true....

I currently own a 2021 TRD Off Road. My biggest issues that I dislike are the lack of power, clumsy handling, poor gas mileage, and gear hunting. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of it so many times, but I need a replacement.
@JB-pk1jx17 күн бұрын
yep. Had one for 4 years with aftermarket gears and an Ovtune. Truck is just so underpowered and once you do gears then you cant go over 80mph. Truck is great for trails but thats about it. Switched to a 2016 tundra 1794 and its so much better.
@GrahamCain17 күн бұрын
@@xiaxiong9197 I’ll agree that it’s underpowered and a bit thirsty compared to other trucks in its segment, but it’s also one of the last with a N/A V6 rather than a turbo 4, which I really appreciate about it. Poor milage and lack of power have always been the shortcomings of Toyota trucks; but are the trade offs for reliability and value retention, in my opinion. I’m not sure I can agree with you regarding the handling, though. I find that the Tacoma handles pretty darn well compared to the competitors. I’ve tossed mine around a decent amount and it has surprised me, but it is a truck at the end of the day, so I don’t expect it to handle like it’s on rails… Luckily my truck hasn’t seemed to have much of the gear hunting issue, but apparently a tune can iron that issue out pretty easily. You might consider that before you trade. If you do trade and want another mid-size, I’ve heard the Nissan Frontier is a good option.

@@midlifecrisis7888 Reliability of the 4th Gen had nothing to do with my choice to get a 3rd Gen. Really, it came down to the new Tacoma’s pricing. I like the 4th and the turbo 4 doesn’t worry me, being a Toyota, and with their haste to correct the transmission issues, that wouldn’t worry me either. Unfortunately, here in the Southeast, the Toyota distributor, “Toyota Southeast” has a nasty habit of using cheap add ons to mark up the trucks a significant amount of money. I’ve seen $8k over Toyota’s MSRP on some of the new trucks. It’s absurd. I was originally considering one as an option after their pricing was first announced. I could get a similarly equipped (basic) TRD Off-Road for about $6k more than what I paid for this truck. Not a small amount, but not nearly as absorbent as the prices ended up being here in Georgia…

The funny thing is that these V6s are faster than any stock fox body, pre 99 sn95 or pre 98 z28 or Trans am and the people making jokes about you automatic V6 are probably driving grocery getter ugly hatchbacks with tinny sounding annoying coffee can tailpipes😂, so who cares what those douchebags think as I used to own old stick shift fox body gts and as cool as they were I spent alot in court fines and tickets and now that I am much older the reliability of the V6 and the ease of just cruising along in an automatic sounds quite pleasing as I miss my old 1990 Crown Vic for the simple point and go without having to shift in town all day long as that Crown Vic and my 83 Cadillac so far has been the only 2 automatic cars I have owned but it was nice not having to constantly shift and just sit back, as now I am interested in getting one of these V6 mustangs although I don't like the 6 speed stick or automatic as I like the older generation sticks and auto's with the much better built 5 speeds but that generation of V6 was much less horsepower than your generation but I don't care the laughed at 4.0 V6 and the auto or stick 5 speed trannies will last forever if you take decent care of them, as my racing days are over along with my traffic fines so I could care less if the 4.0s only have 210 hp as that is still way more than anything Ford, GM, Chrysler or imports were putting out between 1974 -1987 in their vehicles

welp, here it is in 2024 and after doing a little research, i went ahead and bought myself a used 2013 v6 mustang that popped up in a local dealership. I was in the market for a new ride, it was low-mileage, and well maintained. And I can attest that it IS a fun car to have and drive. I'm 53 years old, and the last mustangs i had were back in the 80's. I was never privileged enough to have a GT, the ones i had were one crappy inline 6 and the other a weak 4 cylinder. And that's probably for the best, because that was the only thing holding a teen from the 1980's back from driving fast 😄. This V6 from 2013 makes me feel like a young kid again! And what's better, i actually have enough sense not to push my boundaries on such a powerful machine (or perhaps i've found my boundaries and know not to get near them). I smile every time i walk out the door to go to work now.

I miss both and wouldn’t mind getting another 5.0 once I catch up financially with other responsibilities. Used to watch your videos all the time when I had them. Now ironically I drive a Tacoma too. An 18’ SR5 double cab in silver with 3’ lift from previous owner and 33’ AT tires. I can see why people love Toyota trucks so much. Owned for over a year so far and love the truck to death. I’ve already camped in it and taken up in down mountains in Arkansas. Plan to take it out west eventually.

Definitely do! I've been to Colorado and Moab a few times with my Taco(s) and will never stop raving about the experiences I've had! The Mustangs make daily driving a lot of fun, but the endless adventure an off-roader unlocks for you is truly unbeatable. On top of that, I've come to the conclusion that Tacoma's are the Mustang of the truck world. I have a surprising number of friends who owned Mustangs previously that traded them for Tacomas!
