2019 Mustang GT | Can You Daily Drive A Mustang GT? 3 Reasons to Consider

[@CanadianCruisin]

Anyone who buys a mustang should daily drive it. Have fun and use it

[@Red5oh]

I agree with you. It’s fun daily driving this thing. Especially if you can do it in Canada we can all do it lol

[@CanadianCruisin]

@@Red5oh exactly 😂

[@MadeInNewYork73]

ALWAYS daily drove my Stangs, even in Buffalo. Snows & weight in trunk (plus RWD skill) 👍 Ready 4 another....

[@joeschmo9838]

'07 Mustang GT owner here and have driven it daily for the 10.5 years I've owned it. 270k miles on her now and she still runs like a champ. Past 8 years have been spent in SE Wisconsin and really all that's needed for winter is snow tires. Have had 2 sets of Blizzak WS70's and this past winter got Blizzak WS90's and it drives perfect in snow up to 3" and then I notice a little indecisiveness (doesn't help that I'm lowered on Eibach Sportlines) but she plows her way through at a good 35-40mph. Why speed through snow anyways? Not once have I gotten stuck or slid off the road, just drive sensibly the car will tell you what it's feeling. I've done ~50mph in 1-2" snow covered roads and 35mph on same amount of snow with a little icy/slush underneath, when the car stops feeling stable is when you need to back off 5mph and just cruise along. Like Red5oh said it's a Mustang GT nothing special really, why not enjoy it all year long? :D It's also fun turning off TCS and sliding around a bit :)

[@Red5oh]

270k miles?! That’s impressive in s197 gt. I used to have a 2006 mustang gt with 155k miles before I sold it and I thought that was a lot of miles on the car lol. Winter tires are the solution like you said! As long as you drive carefully during snow and have winter tires you can easily navigate through most snow situations.

[@MadeInNewYork73]

270K miles? This granny got rid of her '05 V6 Vert @ 131k...best Stang I ever owned & had MANY. Don't like GT ins or driving them on snow. Moved to Colo in '94...amazing how much BETTER cars behave here w/o salt. Now I'm 68 - lost my hubby 😢 driving his Fusion. Not acceptable. So glad to see the seats fold on a coupe. Too many bums on corners now..vert is a problem but ready for another! Miss that RWD, low on da ground. Be well

[@sharondacox9384]

I drove my 2020 Ford mustang in the winter and she did surprisingly good. I put her on wet/snow mode and she was great. I don't have any complaints.

[@Red5oh]

That’s awesome! If you experience a lot of snow you can certainly try using snow tires as that would help even more. Enjoy your stang!

[@DiablitoSpeedz]

Man the snow !!! Another Great video buddy. Keep it up

[@Red5oh]

Haha yes decided to drive a little bit. Thanks man!

[@tlitesworld]

Another great video my friend. I drive the Mustang in the snow all the time. It's pretty good it the snow ❄. Congrats on reaching 1k🎉🎊 Hardwork is paying off my friend 🤝

[@Red5oh]

Thank you man! Yeah it’s not as bad in snow as people make it. As long as you’re careful with the throttle you’ll be fine

[@JVette01]

Great video! I hope my EcoBoost will last.. especially now that it's tuned, but I take good care of it so I'm hoping it takes good care of me haha.

[@Red5oh]

Haha it will! These motors seem to be good unless highly tuned. Keep up with the maintenance and enjoy the car

[@VesselFitterguy]

My 2020 GT is my daily except in the snow n ice. I can't even get my stang out of my drive way right now. I keep my 2002 Accord V6 for bad Weather.

[@Red5oh]

Yeah mines stuck too lol. If it snows a lot it’s hard to daily but for couple inches of snow it’s doable. How’s the accord transmission treating you lol? I had 01 accord that had transmission problems which is fairly common

[@VesselFitterguy]

@@Red5oh Funny u mention that. I actually bought it for $500 because it had a hard shift e years ago. I added a b&m supercooler transmission cooler and have been driving it since. I decided to change the motor and transmission mounts 3 weeks ago and the first time driving it now it's slipping and slamming into gears. Bfor it just had a delayed shift. I definitely got my money's worth out of it. I put headers, CAI, exhaust, wheels, lights, tint on the car to make it look descent. I was gonna supercharge it but they don't make it he kit anymore and I haven't ran across an old one yet. It's slow as hell compared to anything made after 2010 but it's super reliable. I still get compliments from people on the Honda more than my Mustang. My rims are 2018 18in black Honda Accord wheels. They modernized the look a bit. Along with the black headlights.

[@Red5oh]

@@VesselFitterguy yeah aside from the transmission issue on mine it was really reliable! Honda makes great reliable products and I bet with the mods you have it is even more to drive. Makes for a nice daily for sure

[@Rspsand07]

My dad daily drove a 2001 new edge for about 15 years as his only car. We're in Canada, so a lot of snow, slush, wet conditions, ice, etc. It's definitely doable, and the older ones handle worse. He was stuck a lot of mornings though in the drive way, we used salt or boiled water to get him out.

[@boosted9319]

No need for a boring daily lol. Great video bro.

[@Red5oh]

Thank you. Gotta daily drive these things

[@JustAutoChannel]

Congratulations on reaching 1k. You are doing great.

[@Red5oh]

Thank you so much!

[@SirenS550]

It’s snowing in texas for the first time in like 700 years 🤣

[@Red5oh]

Haha yeah man I’ve heard. Y’all never got snow. You took it out in snow?

[@SirenS550]

Yeah, slipping and sliding on 2mph 😂

[@carmob7499]

With Rubys power level It would be dangerous to drive in the winter . Your definitely a bigger man then me .

[@Red5oh]

Yeah with those power level I don’t think I’d daily it too lol

[@DiablitoSpeedz]

Lol

[@elqueso5312]

Carroll Shelby said it best. “These cars were meant to be driven”.

[@Red5oh]

Yup that’s right! Who can say no to a beautiful v8 sound

[@Sarge_72]

Nice video man - looking at a 2021 GT now - coming from a ‘19 Charger SXT AWD - I’m in northern NJ so snow tires might be needed but I’m cool with that - again great and informative video !

[@Red5oh]

2021 GT will be amazing and significant power difference! But I agree you’d need snow tires being in NJ. You can try putting sandbags too until you buy snow tires. Got tons more content on s550 mustangs to help you with your research

[@safwanmalik3]

Great video… looking to buy my first Mustang 5.0 but have been hesitant because I live in Canada, more specifically Ottawa. A very snowy city, even for Canada, especially compared to the US. Even here though, it says the average snowfall on the roads is very rarely above 2inch deep when it snows. W 14 total days a year averaging over 2inches-5inches w storms. 10+inches once a decade roughly. Typically everyone here knows you need winter tires, regardless of vehicle. I’ve seen a few Mustangs in the winter but they’re usually the eco-boosts. Gives me confidence I can daily a 5.0. Any advice for which 5.0 to look at? Roughly 25K budget, but can always add a little more, especially for a new model. Really enjoy the content and opinions, comment section was helpful too!

[@Red5oh]

I think with a set of winter tires and sec control you will be fine. Since the car is lower than average cars you’ll run into clearance issue if snow piles up but otherwise you will be fine of course just drive slow. I actually visited Canada (Mississauga) in November and on my way back I ebp countered snow. Getting out of the neighborhood was sketchy as roads hadn’t been cleaned but highways was fine. I had all seasons on and just drove it slow. I’d recommend looking for at least 301a package for gt or premium as they give you driving modes. Snow and rain mode was blessing on my way back

[@safwanmalik3]

@@Red5oh really appreciate the response, very good advice. Prices are absolutely insane right now though. 4-5 year old models are somehow at or above their original msrp new while the new models have jumped into the 40-50k range. Praying it comes down to earth in feb- March

[@marqb9531]

I’m going to daily drive my mustang gt when I get it. It’s snowing right now where I am they’re saying about 4-5 inches of snow. From like December to March here it snows for like a week and then it stops for a while and then maybe a little more snow for a week again.

[@Red5oh]

Yeah if it snows here and there and only couple inches you can definitely make do. I’d recommend snow tires if you’re going to be driving frequently in the snow

[@z06.nubdub]

Congrats on 1K subs!

[@Red5oh]

Thank you!

[@daydreamprod4192]

What’s the best year mustang to buy in your opinion? Reliability wise.

[@Red5oh]

Latest model available for gen would technically be the most reliable. So 2022 or 2023 however anything over 2018 is fine

[@daydreamprod4192]

@@Red5oh what about like 2015-2017 are they just not as reliable

[@Red5oh]

@@daydreamprod4192 those are good as well. I’d avoid 2015 as it’s the first year

[@Stratted843]

Luckily I live where it doesn’t snow so I definitely daily it!

[@Red5oh]

Yeah that’s even better! Year round driving without worrying about snow

[@stevewallace1387]

I have 2019 GT with the PP1 in the UK but i would not drive it in the snow because in england we are rubbish at clearing snowy roads but you could in scotland as they are very good at keeping there roads clear of snow

[@Red5oh]

You also gotta be careful with PP1 summer tires. But I agree road clean up makes a huge difference. Are mustangs pretty rare where you are?

[@josephjoestar995]

I also live in the UK - how does it hold up in the rain/wet surfaces? Any scares with thr RWD or does it hold up well

[@stevewallace1387]

@Joseph Joestar so much power you do have to drive it a bit more carefully as in any car in the wet but that does not mean you have to go too slow lol but in the dry with the upgraded tyres brakes and suspension you get on the PP1 it handles as well as most European car I had the new TYPE R before this which would be quicker on a B road but on a straight the Honda would be left a long way behind but you can go faster around bends than any mustang before it the most exciting car I have ever owned

i am 18 and have a 30-50 min commuted to college everyday. traffic does happen but mever tooooo bad. i drive an ecoboost now but its so lame (no sound, automatic, slow) should i get a 18-22 gt? or save my money.

[@Red5oh]

If you can afford the GT, it’s well worth it! The sound alone makes any boring drive fun

[@deandreharris8608]

can i afford a 5.0 making 400 - 500 a week

[@Red5oh]

It depends on what other expenses you may have. It may be a bit tight on that income. Look into Ecoboost if you really want a mustang. They are fun cars too

[@lovytoor8753]

How about average

[@Red5oh]

I average around 21mpg with 50/50 split in terms of highway vs city driving

[@Kaulpenney]

You have a heated steering wheel?

[@Red5oh]

Yeah I do. It makes winter driving so much better. You need 401a package for GT to get that

[@Kaulpenney]

@@Red5oh I have the 401a pack, I didn’t even know I had it, how do you do it?

[@Red5oh]

If you have sync 3.4, then go on climate tab and you should see a steering wheel icon. If you have any other sync version try the home tab and you’ll see the same steering wheel icon. I hope this helps

Man I just my 1st ever mustang gt (2021) last week and it going to snow here( Missouri) in the next couple of days hopefully the snow/wet mode will help me out. Is there any other tips with daily driving that anyone could give me?

[@Red5oh]

Congrats on your new Mustang! Snow and wet mode will certainly help. I'd advise that be gentle with throttle and brakes. Snow/Wet mode will take care of the throttle. If you really want you can pick up sandbags from Home Depot and put them them in the trunk. I did that with my older mustang gt got 3 sandbags for 50 pounds each for $5/bag. It helps a bit

@@Red5oh I live in suburban Chicago and two neighbors and I just helped my other neighbor push his 2015 Mustang back up his driveway today. His tire was just spinning like crazy. Can a Mustang get traction with winter tires? I was thinking about buying a GT, but now I’m not so sure if it can’t even handle a couple inches of show.

[@Red5oh]

With couple inches of snow you can definitely get traction with winter tires. If it doesn’t snow that much then I think for your needs snow tires will help you out. They have snow wet mode that helps a bit as well. I hope you get the GT man! Stay tuned for more content

[@axebeard7677]

This video didn’t age well. Mustangs are special but not for the reason you think. They are special because they are the last of a breed. American muscle V8’s are dying because of the Democrat Communists push towards an energy source that is far from capable of sustaining the automotive industry. What makes the Mustang special and any other American muscle car is the fact that if it has a v8 it will be highly coveted in a dystopian future.

[@Red5oh]

They are certainly last of the dying breed. I’m glad ford is still producing the V8s. What I meant in the video is they are not cars you’d just keep in your garage. We should be enjoying the cars rather than keeping miles off of them
