Spot the Canadian Mustang!

Hello

My vert was imported from Canada.

The only visual difference is that the lower grill is not your typical pattern. Rather, it appears to be the same grill used if you buy the package with the front sensors on them.

The reason is simple...now you can get the Ford accessory cable to attach to the standard engine block heater and have the plug run out through the front of the grill.

I understand a few northern states also require a standard engine block heater and also have the same grill.

So...if you think you have either front sensors or an engine block heater-check your lower grill.

Thanks

hmmm looks like the front on my 50th Anniversary Pkg 15 GT, wonder if I have the engine block heater, hmm have to check!

the 50th anniversary came with that lower grill by default. Would have looked strange to have the fangs only on the lower part of the grill, since the horizontal chrome bars and corral'ed pony were unique to the 50th package and deleted the "fangs" in the main grill opening.

That is the grill for the ACC radar unit, if you change the grill it stops working, i have the same grill on my ACC CS, mind you the car is a Canadian Spec

Not all Canadian cars have that lower grill. You have to check the engine block heater option when ordering.

Plenty around have the standard lower grill.

Good to know cbrooke

I have a Canadian market base '16 PP1/Recaros, it does not have block heater or that grill.

Ecoboosts in Canada came standard with the block heater, V6s and GTs had it as optional.

Do any owners of 2018+ Canadian Mustangs with the block heater also have grill shutters? It's my understanding that ordering the block heater will delete the grill shutters.

I have a 2018 Canadian GT with the engine block heater. I don't know what grille shutters are, though.

If yours has them, you can see the slats behind the grille and in front of the radiator. Pretty much like venetian blinds. They're mostly designed to improve aerodynamics at speed and slightly increase mpg. Another CAFE enhancement.

How are you liking the 6500 RPM redline tach on a 7400 redline motor?

This is something I intend to resolve some day.

I have a 2020 Canadian GT with the incorrect tach face. Has anyone been able to resolve the issue? I’ve considered finding a used cluster with similar mileage but I feel there should be a better resolution.
Also, I do not have grill shutters.
