How to tell GT vs. GTS

deadlast · Sep 15, 2005

just wondering, becausewhen i looked at my registration today, it said GTS for model. I just want to make sure which car i got. any obvious hints?

Maybe call a Ford Dealership with your VIN. Peace

GTS has cloth interior and no power door locks or windows. No rear spoiler on the deck lid.

BUT can be ordered with wing, or other options. The best indicator is USUALLY manual windows. I've seen a s^#%load of GTS's with spoilers on them. They should also have the base V6 seats...no buckets in a GTS.

A Vin check on carfax will classify your car as a GT/GTS. This confused me as well, and had me running to my car to check to see if, after 5 years, I'd been rolling down my windows the whole time instead of pushing the button

well put, I have a spoiler! I guess that makes it even more rare.

The seats are usually a dead giveaway

Everything mentioned, along with no standard driving lights. What about manual locks? The only power accesories on mine are the mirrors, which I think is cause the car is too new to use those old style cables to moved them around. Anybody with a GTS have power locks?

I have a Black GTS.

It got an "after-market spoiler" (not stock 3 poles)
I got cruise control, electric mirrors but MANUAL windows and doors with clothe seats.

Doesn't it have a V6 fender badge?

divit250r · Sep 15, 2005

Mine's got a GT Mustang emblem.

It seems like there's all kinds of combinations.....

I wanna study up, but not until I'm done this A/C delete

If the GTS have a spoiler on them, they will not be the same as the GT spoiler, they are 3 pronged instead of 2 pronged

Deadlast, it depends on which dealership ordered the car. Some dealers ordered them with additional options, up to and including Mach 460 sound systems. I bought my GTS new off the lot, and the dealership I bought from ordered ALL of their GTS' with p/w, pdl, power mirrors, cloth buckets, 16" waffle stars, cruise control, etc... ...the only visual cues that mine's a GTS and not a GT is the lack of fog lights and rear spoiler. I'd be willing to bet, some previous owner installed the fogs and spoiler (it's not real difficult ) for you.

xr8d302, I disagree with you, the best visual indicator is the lack of fog/driving lights, NOT manual windows. I've got power windows, et. al. but b-off plates where the fog lights should be is a real tipoff.

Zero Signal, NO, the GTS has the Mustang GT script-style badges, just like the GT.

also heard that on the GTS's the sun visors dont have a light while all GT's do. Also if you dont have foglights and theres a plate there blocking the whole its probably a GTS

If you have a GTS with manual windows and would like power, let me know. I would be more than happy to take the manual stuff off your hands.

Thanks for the correction

It's good to learn all this new stuff, I really thought that power options weren't available for the GTS

was there any advantages in getting a GTS? first owner was an undercover cop. second was a bc law graduate that barely drove it. i also didnt have the 5 star waffle, they were originally the split 3 spokes (17")
