Hello

I am trying to find the Amperage output of the stock alternator on a 2015/16 Mustang GT Premium.

I have found a couple things pointing to 200A but that seems high for a stock alternator.

Anybody know for sure?

Thanks in advance.

With all the electronics a premium has it's possible. I also looked for specs but couldn't find anything. I have the base model though. Maybe try checking autozone online for recommended replacements?

O'Reilley's website shows replacement alternators at 175 amp for cars without heated seats, and 200 amps for the ones with. That should indicate that Recaros would get you a 175 on a GT premium, and leather would be 200.

Thanks for the replies.

I checked RockAuto and they also list it as 175A or 200A. Seems too good to be true from a stock alternator so I had to ask and see.

I was planning on putting a High Output Mechman alt in that puts out 270A, but $600 for only 70 more amps doesn't seem that beneficial for the cost.
