Hey guys and gals, My name is Scott. I'm a huge ford fan. I have owned several rangers, and I currently have a 2006 F-150 4x4 that I absolutely love. My job has changed and I have moved, and I'm traveling roughly 300 miles a week, and averaging 12-13.5 MPG. I live in Indiana, so we do get snow and such. I went to the dealership the other day and test drove a 5.0 mustang 6spd, they didn't have a V6 on the lot for me to try out. I've been doing a lot of research and from what I can tell the car is pretty solid. I do have a few questions for you guys though. I appreciate you helping me out.
- How well does the mustang do in the snow? I would have to trade in my truck, but I would probably buy an older truck by next winter if I got a mustang. But I'm sure I'll get caught out in the snow in it at some point.
- What are your guys' actual MPG's you get on the V6? I've read anything from 16-34. I can't imagine getting any less than mid 20's in mixed driving.
- Any issues or concerns I need to consider with the 3.7 liter? From the reviews I've seen it has plenty of power, and only a few less ponies than the 4.6 GT's. Any of you guys came from a 4.6 to a 3.7? Thoughts?
I appreciate everyone answering my questions and helping me out. I plan on hitting the dealerships on monday to see what I can find. Pretty much set on Grabber Blue.....
