2021 Mustang GT Premium w/cylinder deactivation?

[NoNeckNick]

I can't find info anywhere. I have a 2021 Mustang GT Premium with 25,000 miles, a 5.0 V8 engine.

Does this year model V8 have cylinder deactivation? I know the F150 does, but have heard the Mustang does not.

Any info on how to deactivate it would be great, too. I typically run it in normal mode, but occasionally run it in sport and track mode.

Thanks all,

Nick - Georgia

In 2021 the F150 went to the Gen 4 Coyote which started the Cylinder deactivation. No Gen 3 has it to my knowledge (which all 2018 plus S550 Mustangs have). Mustang doesn't have Auto Start Stop (ASS) thankfully either

Correct no cylinder deactivation in the Gen 3. I believe the S650 will have the Auto Start Stop though. Have not heard anything regarding cylinder deactivation in the S650

GM has DOD
Ford has Stop Start
both stink but DOD is an engine killer
