When sitting in the drivers seat, and looking through the steering wheel, to the dash, does it look straight, to you?
Curious what others think, on the 2018 - 2021 models of the Mustang GT Premium.

Honestly, it’s impossible to tell based on your picture. Unless you know your camera is 100% level it could just be an optical illusion. Also have you put a level on the top of the dash, the steering wheel, and in the middle of the gauge cluster?

I checked my 19’ and it’s just fine. Do not recall seeing this issue come up before but I certainly can be wrong.

Probably right, merely an illusion of sorts.

Wonder if these images shed any light on my thoughts...

OK, so maybe not an optical illusion.

Here is the head on view. Look fine to me.

The top pads are not level. My right pad is the opposite of the left. They both have a slight tilt to them.

Next two shot show the instrument panel to be almost dead level.

I'm guessing this is what it should look like.

None of the plastics are 100% straight so yours may very well be off a hair or to. My opinion, unless it is really, really bothering you, leave it alone.

Much appreciated you taking the time to use your leveler and share the photos, too.
Nice to know it is just the way the cars are built.

Again, thanks!

I am dying laughing at you guys putting a level on your dash.

Did you check your tire pressure to make sure all 4 are even first? Maybe check the springs and shocks too for any sagging on a corner before this test?

😂

I can only speak for myself, but Duh, yes. My garage floor is level as is my car.

I'll need to see some photos of the level on the roof of the car to verify. And maybe one on the roof of your garage too.
