18+ gt positive talk no motor issues

[Mustanggt5.02011]

I owned a 2018 PP1 Premium that had 7100 miles and now own a 2019 GTCS with 3K miles. Absolutely no issues and is a dream to drive. Looks, handling and technology are hands down the best in a mustang I've ever owned. I had 2 fox bodies, 88 and 89, a 2011 GTCS, 2017 GT Premium, 2018 GT Premium PP1, and now my 2019 GTCS. My 19 is hands down the best mustang I've ever own with ZERO issues on all!

Thanks man... I love the black accent package with the carbon fiber accents and alacantara seats! Great package for the price IMO.

How is the ride without Magenride? I'm seriously thinking of dumping the PP1/MR options and going with what you have....but was really worried about not having MR.

2018 Premium, 10R80, with 4k miles, first oil change last week, Pennzoil Ultra 5w20... H-Pipe, K&N drop in... running like a charm!

If you are going to put many miles on the street I would not skip the Magneride

I test drove both and honestly I don’t need magna-ride. I’ve gone faster than I should have on twisty roads and not ever felt the car wasn’t doing what I wanted/needed it to do. I know others claim there is a huge difference, but not enough for me to pay the extra $$$ for PP and magnaride. I’d encourage you to test drive both and determine for yourself.

6k miles 4k of those miles from two road trips of over 1000 miles, no problems. The car is uncomfortable for long trips is my only hate of the car so far. 18 gt premium401a 10 speed

1100 miles 1 oil change while pushing 700rwhp. Seems to be holding up

Curious as to more info on it being uncomfortable and why?

I bought my car almost 1000 miles from home and drove it back 20+ hours strait except stopping for gas and food and I found it very comfortable.

On a slightly negative side the tank could be a bit bigger.

Yeah, but no matter how big it is, you always want it bigger.

I remember ordering the "extra capacity" tank on my first Bronco. Cost a few hundred bucks and increased fuel capacity from something like 28 gallons to 32 gallons. It was interesting how they did it - the standard tank and the "extra capacity" tank were the same size. However, the filler neck on the standard tank stuck down further into the tank, making a large dead space that couldn't be used. Paying the extra $$$ got you a shorter fill neck that let you use the full internal volume of the tank.

I haven't driven mine that far in one setting but have made a few 5 hour trips. I also find it to be very comfortable with good seat support and great driving position. I enjoy it so much that I look for excuses to go somewhere!

18 PP1 10auto, 1800 miles, including 850 mile from dealer in NC to our home in Destin and besides clicking on top of front struts, a bad batch of top strut mounts, the car is absolutely amazing! Had 85, 87, and 88 5.0's and can't believe how far this car has come. Every option except Magnaride and recaros as wanted Cooled and Heated seats more! Can't go wrong, you will be thrilled. (Even standing still it is amazing with the lines!)

Nice to see a set of positive posts. Seems like all you ever hear are complaints or problems. Most people just don’t post about good things, so thank you all! I have put just under 500 miles on my 2019 Bullitt. So far so good. I appreciate the posts about actually waiting to change the oil until manufacturers recommend mileage. I had mentioned that point on another site and many but not all dismissed this. I agree that there may be something to waiting that either breaks the oil down a little, helping to imbed the oil and or break in additives into the surfaces. Kinda seems that maybe some baby the cars to much and change the oil before it has a chance to do its thing. Especially on that first oil change.

Another point is in regards to the comfort level while driving. I have a 2008 Bullitt that has 78K on it. I am the original owner and have driven it across country, and Canada, on many long road trips. I am 54 years old and typically had issues with comfort in various cars I have owned. I find the 08 and 19 to both be surprisingly comfortable. On my trips I normally go anywhere from 4-6 hours with maybe a quick stop to use the bathroom and stretch. I have also done 11-12 hour and 18 hour stretch’s in a pinch. If anything it isn’t the seats it’s the long days of sitting behind the wheel. Stop, eat, stretch, drink fluids and rest. And for the love of god find a group of friends with Mustangs and hitt the road! Happy Driving!

Good feedback keep it coming....

Here's a couple of my Ruby PP1 without Blackout. Rear spoiler is Ford GT-350 Track pack.

That is a great combo and I think the lighting for those shots enhances the contrast of the black and Ruby Red.
