Mine is sitting safely at dealer ready for me to pick up when I return from vacation on Saturday. Hope we see a lot more delivered this week
It looks like someone updated an old oil/pneumatic lift. I haven't seen one of those for a long time.

Yep they turned their old garage shop into a prep shop for new or used prep for delivery and built a new garage for repair. Actually a brilliant idea having a completely separate prep area even though out dated for a garage it’s perfect for delivery prep. They said going to leave it on lift till Saturday so no one messes with it....lol.

I never trusted those lifts. I have seen a few that failed in a dramatic fashion. I would feel more comfortable if the car was on the ground.

I will call them I’m sure they will put it down if I ask think they just thought doing me a favor leaving it up. I have not seen one in years either it was very popular 30 years ago But the post lifts came around and made it so much easier and cheaper

@Snoopy49,

No adjustable strut mounts with my Handling Package even though listed on the Special Equipment tag, just oil separator, splitter wickers, Gurney Flap, inflator kit, fuel funnel.
I will call Thursday to find out as well I think that they are on back order and being shipped separately the GM said he may have to add it to the we owe you slip. He can’t firgure out why it shows it came with it but not in car like everything else

Check and see if the adjustable strut mounts came with the car.

I sent a picture of the Loose Item Checklist from my car to Ford Performance asking the same question and never received a response.

I hope all of us still waiting, will get our "perfect" cars early in 2020


That's part of the very rare VIP trailer towing package. I would check to see if they also installed the HD trailer hitch. That puppy is going to be worth some bucks down the road.

I believe anyone may be able to have a dealership install a Class I Trailer Towing Package as a 2020 Mustang aftermarket accessory. That is other than the GT350, GT350R and GT500 as they are not rated for towing by Ford. As a Class I Towing Package, the fancy double mirrors depicted would not be required for 1000 lb. maximum towing capacity and is clearly an edited GT500 photo.

Regardless, I know I would love to have the ability to tow a small box trailer filled with extra garbage to the local transfer station. :crackup:
