Description
I reviewed 3 of the worst and 4 of the best Ford Mustangs you can actually own, based on reliability, powertrain choices, known problems, and real-world ownership value.
📘 FREE Ford Longevity Checklist 👉 https://fordscope.com
In this video, I break down seven Mustang configurations from a mechanic’s perspective. I explain why certain first-year changes deserve extra caution, how the wrong transmission can turn an otherwise excellent powertrain into a risky purchase, and why paying more doesn’t always get you the Mustang that makes the most sense to own.
If you’re shopping for a used Mustang, this is what I’d want to know before handing over a deposit.
