Updated Job 2 order guide.

[Melange_X3]

I found another Job2 difference.

There was a change made for all Ford vehicles at the end of December 2019 regarding coolant. The yellow coolant-Motorcraft VC13 (not green), -has a longer service life than orange-Motorcraft VC3 (10 year/200k miles as opposed to 6 year/100k miles initial change-out) and improved corrosion resistance and resistance to deposits created within the cooling system. It is notadvised to try to put VC13 in a car that was originally filled with VC3.

Both coolants are still capable, and the only real "benefit" to the change is for those who drive their cars 100k+ miles. In your scenario, I would just leave it alone and use what the car came with. As you know, there are always running changes and improvements.

Hope this helps.

Don't forget the Shark Fin roof mounted antenna.
I don't like this antenna or its placement. It seems like a total afterthought. I think they had it right on the 2013-14 GT500, low profile antenna mounted on the trunk lid.

The antennas on the GT350s are removable. Is this antenna removable? If so, why not just buy one of the older oval antennas and replace it?

SSM 48678 - 2020 Mustang Coupe - Appearance Of The Satellite Radio Antenna - Built On Or After 31-Jan-2020
2020 Mustang coupe vehicles built on or after 31-Jan-2020 may have a satellite radio antenna that differs in appearance from vehicles built prior to this date.These vehicles may have a satellite radio antenna that has a 'shark fin' appearance instead of a 'dome' appearance. This is a design characteristic of the vehicle and no repairs should be attempted. Do not attempt to install the dome style antenna on a vehicle originally equipped with the shark fin antenna.

 

[marklboris]

Correct. They are not interchangeable because the dome type does not have enough room inside for the satellite radio circuit board, GPS antenna and radio antenna.

 

[kilobravo]

Where's the GPS receiver, Mark, in there, too?

 

[marklboris]

With the shark fin type, the GPS antenna is inside along with everything else. The dome type, there is a separate GPS antenna under the dash close to the windshield.

Yes, I can confirm this as this was an email sent to me from a Ford Performance tech that I posted on the other site.

Who has the new Recaro Seats. How much different are they? Looks like green Antifreeze, Miko Suede Recaro Seats and a Shark Fin Antenna for me. Not that I have any choices.

 

[kilobravo]

he dome type, there is a separate GPS antenna under the dash close to the windshield.

Thanks, Mark, didn't know that, EITHER. :-) Sarah has "The Dome."

You are now scheduled for a build week, you should contact your dealer or FP for a date update. Did you mean 06/02/2020?

There are several members on the Job 2 list that have received cars with Recaro seats, maybe one of them will chime in and be able to answer your question.
I believe the question was about the type of material used for the Recaro seat covers. Post #4 implied that there was a change on 02/03/2020.
@mannymo5.0 , @CaptDave , @casper893 , @marklboris , @Cobra99 or @Lakeworthjd

The CFTP option includes Recaro seats.

Yes sorry i did mean 6/2/20. I do like the 350R seats as I own one but really hope they are what has been shown all along. If they have suede bolsters I’m ok with it since they really hold you in the car very nicely.
Not sure if there are enough units out there to cross check the differences.

My car is a Job 2. Built February 28th. I can tell you what my Recaro seats are like but I have no idea what the Job 1 Recaro seats are like. I am not sure what the question is with the seat differences.

 

[marklboris]

The reason the new VC-13-G YELLOW Motorcraft antifreeze has a greenish tint is because of the florescent dye they use in it. It only takes on this greenish tint when viewed in large quantity like the coolant reservoir tank. If you were to put some on a white piece of paper, it would be yellow.

Can you post pictures of your seats, I am interested to see what, if anything, changed.

Thanks,
Jaime

Jaime, funny you should ask that as I just asked Kent to send me photos of his seats so I can see what the differences are. Personally, I don't think there are any differences. I think Ford just changed the description of the Recaro seats in their literature. I will post photos of my seats here later today with a description of the materials used.
