Forgive my miscommunication, it's not that I think the V6 isn't worthy or anything, but I don't like the drivestrain loss in autos, but don't like driving a stick every day, and I need something everyone in my family can drive. As for my financial situation:
Right now I'm spending:
$340/month note
$430/month gas
Too much for a $20K truck.
So instead, I need to get something more economical.
Thought about a used GT, but 16mpg still don't cut if for me. I need at least 18 city & 22 interstate, preferably more, so a V6 is all I can do.
I apologize if I came off with the word "hated" so strongly. It's not that I hate V6 auto stangs, I just don't prefer them. I wouldn't even consider if I hated. Bad choice of words, my apologies.
I love the new Mustang looks, but I'm trying to get a house and need something my family can drive every day... hence the auto, and need a lot better MPG than 13, hence going from 4x4 to car. (I still have a lifted '90 Bronco for a 4x4, so I can get by with that for the farm).
I'm a big aftermarket fan though, so as long as I can eventually get the V6 auto into the 7.5 second range & mid 15's, (what my Ram does), then I'll be happy.
Again, my apologies for coming off bad.
