You mean it is in 2020 they started that new verbiage? Yeah, I saw general articles about Ford and their concern of warranty costs. I think this has been on going because I have to fight my local dealer for everything saying it wasn't' warranty (twice now) that I think is BULLSHIT

True, but only on the R. I was just wondering about base, but you are 100% correct

I never knew about the mirror signals either... :facepalm:

Now I'm eager to get home and see for myself.
So I checked this last night and my mirrors don't have the signals. Perhaps it's part of an optional package? When I ordered my 350, literally the only option I wanted was the carbon fiber dash panel.

I think it's the part of Technology package which includes the following:

•B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen, featuring 12 speakers, including in-trunk subwoofer, CD player and HD Radio™ Technology
•BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert
•Heated exterior mirrors with integrated turn signals and Cobra® LED door-projector courtesy puddle lamps
•Voice-Activated touchscreen Navigation System with pinch-to-zoom capability and SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link®
• Six-way driver's seat with three (3) memory settings (Shelby GT500® only)

Also, there's no availability of Six-way driver's seat with tree memory settings in 2020 vs 2019 it is included in the Leather-trimmed Sport Seats option. BTW I love these seats. Best feature is cool/heat ventilation integrated in the front seats.

Couch seat gang! Finally the realists emerge... those recaros are JANKY
I drove one with the Recaros before I bought. While a neat seat, I was wearing a heavy jacket at the time and found it restrictive. I thought if I ever drove it down to see my kids (Michigan to South Carolina) my passenger and I would get nippy being in those Recaro seats too long (10 hours plus) so in the end I got the 6 way seats. They still offer bolster support and I have had the car on the track. Nice balance of track to daily.

At least 5 people agree... Ford offered the option for a reason, they're good seats for sure.
I do have the tech package on the car, didnt realize the turn indicators were part of that package.

Being in CA I really wanted the cooling seats but I do love the look and support of the recaros, I could do without if they would just put the ball cooling vent back into cars.

For me it was the heated seats. No heated seats are a nogo for me. It is amazing to have your butt warm when you are driving and feel cold. I honestly could careless if you got them with Recaros or not, but no heated seats are a deal breaker for me. I made the mistake of getting a car without them and I learned my lesson lol.

I tried sitting in the leather-trimmed sports seats and for some reason they seemed a bit tight around my lower back and felt rather uncomfortable. The recaros felt more comfortable to me :crazy:

Besides a few color changes, and the fact that ALL GT350 got FordPass Connect as standard (which I think was an option in the 2019 with the Technology package?). Is anything else different from a 2019 on a 2020? Do 2020's have turn signal lights built into the side rearview mirrors, or do they fold in on a switch? thx!!!

Not sure if this is 100% certain or not, but it seems they did something for oil consumption. My first two cars I would have to fill ~1qt about every 1k miles. I just hit the 1k mark in the one I bought a couple of months ago and it seems fine. I believe I read this somewhere as well but I'm too lazy to find. On a side note, I have about 2 cases of oil if anyone needs.....lol

My understanding is they changed the rings on the pistons to help with the oil consumption issues. That was not a 19 change, some time around late 17-18 MY.

Ah. My apologies then. I had a 16 and a 17 then I just kind of stopped keeping up after that.
