WHY IT MATTERS.

The turbocharged four-cylinder offers a different balance of displacement, boost, and torque. Its maintenance requirements and service procedures are distinct from a GT.

The launch lineup included a V6, turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost, and 5.0L GT. The GT350 introduced a 5.2L flat-plane-crank V8. The 2018 update revised the GT powertrain and added a ten-speed automatic option; the later GT500 used a dual-clutch transmission.

BUYING & SERVICING.

Check service records, cooling and fluid condition, gearbox operation, and evidence of track use or tuning. Verify the exact engine, transmission, axle, and brake package before following a workshop procedure.

Check the exact vehicle's identification, records, and fitted equipment. Modified engines, transmissions, and brake packages require their own applicable documentation.
