I have a 2018 ecoboost, man I love that car. Insurance for the GT was way more and the price for a base model was more than a premium. The ecoboost is a fun car to drive. 310 hp, good gas mileage, and it’s a mustang! You’re not always racing so why would you hurt your pockets constantly for gas and the extra insurance. Not to mention I’m only 18.
Bro I'm 22 and I'm about to trade in my 14 fusion for a new 18-19 mustang eco at the end of the year,,,, but anyways how much do you pay for Insurance since it's a 2 door
OUT 'F' ing STANDING overall review of the 2019 Eco-Boost Mustang! I WISH, ALL such reviews were this ACCURATE and forthrightly HONEST about the vehicle in question. Raiti (of Raiti's Rides) is the absolute kind of vehicle reviewer I wish were more prevalent on TH-cam. He SPEAKS, very succintly, to the important issues/concerns that we car buyers desire. I've (for my own particular reasons/timing, have decided on a 2020 Mustang Eco-Boost Coupe (just 1 year later) purchase, to replace my beloved 2014 V-6 Mustang, that is now 'history'. Raiti: You're GREAT!
The best Mustang EB review I have seen. I have my EB and sure I like the 5.0 but I'm 65 yrs old and I truly look at the EB Mustang as a Gentleman's Mustang to enjoy the handling the ride the rich heritage of the Mustang. Plus there are so many simple mods to make this car your own. Go out and Enjoy your Mustang.
I bought a 2108 base model Ecoboost Mustang with a 6 speed manual in black back in August, 4 months ago. List was 24.8 and I got mine for $21,500. And I have seen ads on TV here for $20,000 for them since.... I didn't want any extras, it comes with so many nice goodies already any ways. And I didn't see any sense in spending 40-50K for a V-8 with 400-500 hp for driving around town. I've got a little over 5,000 miles on it now. I love it, the car totally rocks and it's pretty hard to find any faults in it. Get the six speed manual, it's just fun to play with. It cruises on the highway at 90-100 mph and it's just loafing. I just took it up to the top of the Sandia Mountains (10,500 feet) Albuquerque, NM a couple of days ago to push it hard. Happened to go up behind two 2004 Mustang 5.0's, and I was able to reel them in. And yes the 4 banger Mustang has higher hp and torque numbers than the '04's V-8's. It's a very tight road, lots of switchbacks and I have to say the '18 Mustang was a complete ball to hammer up the road. Totally planted and corners great. I talked to a guy who had a new '19 in black with a manual and I asked him what he paid for his....he went a little green when I told him I paid $21,500 for mine, he paid like $6,000 more for the exact same model. Oh, OK he got Sirius radio (which you have to pay a monthly subscription for) that I don't have. So if you are really serious about getting a new Mustang I'd suggest looking for a new 2018 at a dealers with a manual six speed transmission. And a base model is just fine, there would not be much difference in performance in an option laden one that costs $10,000 more. I can do a lot with 10K. For $21,500 I think it's pretty darn hard to find more bang for the buck than you get with a base model 2018 Ecoboost Ford Mustang. OK, the leg room for the rear seats suck, but then I am not riding in the back so I just don't care:):) Tom Rolland
Glad you liked my comments. The 4 cylinder ecoboost Mustang is a rocking fun car. 320 hp out of a 4 just works so nicely. And they actually sound great too, not so loud as to be annoying inside the car. Tom Rolland
@@andyrt69 I'm in this hood and at a mile high coyotes lose alot of power and ecoboost don't. Here at abq dragway a 18 pp2 10 speed gt only runs 13.7s, while my boost with a ford performance tune runs 13.50s on street tires.
One of the more accurate reviews regarding this car. There are so many more features to this car than he had time for so go test drive one. Cool of Walker Ford for letting him showcase this beautiful and awesome car. I love ours... It's a convertible and it's a babe!
I'm your biggest fan in New York! I just bought my Mustang EcoBoost in October in this same color, and I've never been more in love. You're doing God's work.
I loved the review! Lots of people sleep on the EcoBoost Mustang, I think it’s an amazing car and everything you get is worth it for the price. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for your awesome compliments! I am so glad that you liked this one! It is a really fun car and this one has all the options which made it even better!
Got a lightly used '15 ecoboost PP with MBRP Race catback and added a JLT CAI.. This car is FUN!! Don't underestimate the power of the ecoboost folks..
I just bought the base 2019 3 days ago, I'm in love with the car. Plenty of room for different mods. I just wish I could hear the woosh from the boost like I did on my Subaru. Might switch out the valve.
Purchase the same car 2021white Eco....with beige interior. Fun car! Great on gas too😁Great review Joe! When I saw this review is what made me purchase this car. 🏆
Just about every car or truck that you review makes me wish I owned it! I have always liked Mustangs and until now I wouldn't have given the EcoBoost Mustang a second thought and would instead opt for the 8 cylinder but after watching this video I would definitely consider the EcoBoost. Thanks for this excellent video!
I still have my 2002 3.8l V6 Pony and just bought a brand new 2020 Bullitt. My first brand new Mustang I bought was the '02 Pony. Still runs good and has great compression after 18 years. I'm keeping it for my daily driver/commuter car. Don't worry guys, you'll get to the GT level or higher eventually. To be honest, if I had this 2020 Bullitt back in 2002 I probably would have killed myself the way I drove when I was young... LOL
Two things about the glovebox: -Click the yellow tab to release the drop down compartment for the owners manual. -The passenger airbag is actually IN the glovebox door which allowed the designers to increase legroom
Looked seriously at the Ecoboost Mustang last year. For someone like me who prefers the driving experience of a European sports car or sedan to an American muscle car, it's an excellent choice, especially with the performance package and enhanced suspension. I ended up purchasing another vehicle for a variety of reasons but the Mustang was a strong contender. The GT appeals to many but a Viagra prescription would be a better (and less expensive) solution aimed at the same objective.
I HAD BOTH THE VERY FIRST GEN. TURBO AS WELL AS THE 2ND GEN. SVO TYPE MUSTANGS , THEY WERE A HELL OF A LOT OF FUN .NOT AS MUCH HP/TORQUE , BUT IT WAS ONLY 2700 LBS , BESIDES WE TWEAKED OUR BOOST CONTROLS AND RAN ALMOST OPEN EXHAUST SYSTEMS--THE TURBO ATE MOST OF EXHAUST SOUND . THEY WERE QUICK , LIGHT , AND COULD KILL ANY PRODUCTION CAR AROUND . BUNCH OF MY BUDDIES HAD V8 CAMAROS AND ALWAYS TALKED SMACK --AT LEAST UNTIL ME AND MY BUDDY WITH ANOTHER TURBO RAN CIRCLES AROUND THEM , STRAIGHT LINE AND ESPECIALLY CORNERING . DAMN I MISS THE 80'S AND ESPECIALLY MY TURBO 4'S .
I totally get why ford and gm are putting 4-cylinder turbo's in the mustang and Camaro. for someone like me who is in the market for a daily driver car that's fun to drive there isn't a lot of options. civic coupe has front wheel drive, piano black interior pieces everywhere, and just doesn't appeal to me at all. the mustang and Camaro has rear wheel drive, nice interior and exterior styling, horsepower for pleasure drives on weekends, and good gas milage while driving to and from work. its 2019, things have changed if you want your v8 manual its there, if your like me who doesn't like any modern car but these mustang and Camaro types like I explained earlier its available too. so good on ford and gm for making a car that isn't boring but can still be a daily driver.
could not afford the V8 at this time but got the 2020 2.3L ecoboost for just over 23000.00, that I could afford and it looks and drives great. Love it.
Hey Joe, thanks again for another great car review. As a huge mustang fan, I’m not doubting that the new EcoBoost isn’t a good car, but I really wish Ford wouldn’t have killed the V6. The 2018-2019 refresh looks amazing and I would opt for the GT in a heartbeat but I just can’t afford it. At the same time, I can’t justify buying a 4-cylinder Mustang and living with the awful sound, even with an exhaust mod. So people like me are basically SOL and I’m betting there’s many others who feel the same way.
I’m currently getting all information I need , for many years I’ve been dying to buy a Mustang! This year I’m finally going for it! Thanks for the great info very helpful! ❤️ My dreams finally coming true lol as a young girl before , now an adult I can finally make things happen! I’m so excited ! 🤣🤣🤣
“Yes I know the car is on, thank you Ford” that was good haha, my biggest problem is when you are trying to switch to sport or do anything and if you have the door open, you have engine on/doors open/ maybe a key not in car lol, gotta love it.
I owned a 2016 eco boost mustang. I replaced the Down pipe with a mishimoto catted downpipe, put in a JLT cold air intake, turbosmart wastegate actuator, Wagner intercooler, then got a dyno tune. It ended up with over 325 hp. To the wheels and 400 foot pounds of torque. It was almost as fast as my old 2013 5.0 gt mustang with 373 rear end and easier to drive around corners because the front was lighter. I could really feel the torque. Launching it was easy, no wheel hop like the 6 speed manual gt mustang. Loved it but traded it in for the 2018 mustang gt.
Hey great review the features you are pointing out are part of the Pony Package. New for 2019 you can get the Active Valve performance with dual quad exaust on an Ecoboost and the car sounds awesome with it.
Great video man... Good content, good shots, and good enthusiasm for what you're talking about! Love this car... wish I didn't live in a snowy climate because I'd own one!
Hello i look after a Mustang, i'm 51, i'm police officer, and i got a serious injury while doing my duty.So i decided to make my dream comes true, because we live only once. In my country gas is more expensive, moreover mustang V8 are heavily taxed, and insurance is terrible. So thanks to your video it's great help, i think mustang ecoboost is a nice choice for a daily driver as me. Greetings from France.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and experience. I am glad to hear you are doing okay and I am happy to hear that you made your dream come true!
That is so wonderful of your to say! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. The EcoBoost is a fun car to drive even with the automatic!
I agree with Joe that the variety of engines and equipment is what makes the Mustang so great. While I love a V8 as much as the next guy, I think there is a lot to be said for powerful yet efficient cars like the ecoboost Mustang! I don’t like the exhaust note though, Ford should work on that. Acura, Honda, and Fiat know how to make a 4 cylinder that makes you want to put the windows down. Fiat 500 Abarth sounds wonderful!
I remember Baskin and Robbins 31 flavors. No really, I believe that Ford finally got the Mustang right, perfection! Love your show! I subscribed on the first video, I've seen from you.✌
I am not scared at all. I am enjoying these different Mustangs and feel the EcoBoost is a viable option for people not wanting a V8. Thank you for your input and for watching1
@Keane I’m guessing you are new to the channel? If so welcome aboard the RR family. Joe is definitely not afraid to tell it like it is. He even tells you right in this video what he likes and doesn’t like about this ecoboost Mustang. IMO Joe is one of the most honest and entertaining car reviewers on TH-cam.
@@metaljew4456 that's what I like about him he gives his honest opinion about it, what he thinks looks good and what doesn't. You don't have to agree with him on what he thinks, he's just giving his opinion and showing the car off so if your in the market than I tead of you driving to the dealership he already has a video so you dont have to go anywhere
love it, it's an all round car, charismatic and yet practical. I also loved your....pause...at the subscribe bit, I thought I was watching the Sopranos for a brief second ;)
I don't understand haters and never will. I don't look down on someone bc of the trim level of their vehicle that they paid for! I think it's cool that this car can keep up with my 5.7 hemi and in reality destroy it on a long trip due to the mpg.
Thanks for another Mustang video. I also like the option of dual controls. I use Android Auto with the touch screen and like the option of using the buttons to change climate contol settings without using the touch screen.
Nice Review! I rented an EcoBoost Premium recently & was totally surprised by how fun it was to drive! Just curious.... which package adds the chrome window trim... I actually like the way it looks
EcoBoost is a great little engine its just the Coyote has so much more potential for us guys who can't leave anything alone. If you just want a Mustang driver to occasionally play with I can see the Eco being a great choice. But if you want a traditional pony/muscle car that can be ramped up to crazy power get the 5.0.
New subscriber just bought a 2020 premium ecoboost kona blue metallic with black accent package leather with Alcantara it is one sweet ride you made my purchase so easy been a long time coming finally owner of a pony
I can't say for sure about the 2019 EcoBoost Mustang, but one of my biggest problems with previous years of the Mustang EcoBoost was the exhaust note. I realize it is hard to make a 4 cylinder engine sound like a V8 but the Mustang 4 cylinder sounds like a Japanese 4 cylinder powered sedan that has been tuned to within an inch of it's life....not very Mustang-like.
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. Ford does have an optional exhaust for the EcoBoost that has quad tips. I will try to review one with it as soon as Walker gets one!
I just bought my 2018 gt. Ironically my insurance went down by $20 bucks per month lol. I had the ecoboost. Was an enjoyable car for a year but I couldn’t help but to always feel guilty when i see a mustang with the gt badge. But it’s all up to you. Get a gt if you can. Or a ecoboost if you really don’t care about speed
Hey Joe.......nice review. Always wanted to see what the Ecoboost Mustang was all about. Same engine as your RS, the gearing is different I would imagine. Big up to Tom for his great camera work once again!! 👊
Gary Green thank you so much for watching and your awesome support! There is definitely a change in the tune of the engine and the gearing. This has 40 less horsepower than my Focus RS. It’s interesting how the same engine feels so different! Thanks for watching!😊👍🏻
HighVoltage75 thank you so much for your wonderful words! I really appreciate you saying that! Thankfully this time around I am not in the path. My prayers and well wishes go out to those who are.
My 1st V8 and I was a 17yo. It was Zircon Green. It started off stock and the first mod was a 500 2 barrel holley, a mild improvement. I acquired a 4 barrel windsor manifold and a couple of 600 vacuum secondary holleys, which made 1 good carby, and a dual exhaust system from FORDHAM spares. Happy with this because I could now "Lay Rubber". Joe I miss all my old cars.
Hey Joe Great review.. EcoBoost 4 with 10R80 sounds like a great combo for a daily driver.. BUT I would hate my self for not getting the V8 ! That Coyote is pure Mechanical Music !
If I want to buy the EcoBoost premium mustang 2019 and not doing anything after market and I don’t drive harshly then do u think it can last at least about 150,000 to 200,000
Isn't the corral the Pony Package only? This is a full Pony Package with the chrome around the window, the wheels, the stripe, the red/white/blue stripe pony on the back, the corral on the front.
What's the MPG for the 2019 Ford Mustang EcoBoost? In 1964 and 1/2, I wasn't even born yet and had not seen their 1st Ford Mustang since nowadays and it seems like in the future we'll be seeing more of a Mustang EV or the other kinds of Ford Mustangs. (Like 2023 and 2024 Mustangs).
So, did they change the Mustang logo on the back? The logo with 3 stripes was always the v6, no stripes but pony was the ecoboost and the GT had GT (obviously there are cobra's and other models, as well). I know they stopped making the v6 so why, oh why, does this pony have 3 stripes behind it?
It looks like that badge is only available with the heritage package that adds Crome window seals and front lined/surrounded pony emblem with those rims and stripe looks like they are trying a 66-68 styling for this stang.
This reminds me of the 1984 4 banger mustangs. My dad bought 1 for himself and 1 for my mother. Coming from a family with v8 Nova’s, Mustangs, Camaro’s and Challengers...I literally secretly wished for those two 80 stangs to disappear! Unless it’s a GT ecoboost or Raptor’s I wouldn’t look twice at this thing. Nice review once again sir!
I can totally understand where you are coming from. In college I had friends that would take the 4 cyl engines out of the fox body Mustangs and put 5.0 GT motors in them. Thank you for your awesome support and for watching!
M4B21S88 I tried the ecoboost full potential what I did was put in sport plus mode and since mine was an 10 speed automatic i put it on Sport and tried on a drag strip everything was stock this turbocharged is damn fine
RD 2 I can imagine. I have a 2016 and honestly its fast enough it shocks some other faster cars lol Ive been using 93 octane since I bought it, cant imagine using lower octane. I hear the 2018s make the overboost/ use of the additional 30 ft/ lbs of torque only via drag mode. Id be driving in drag mode all day everyday! Lol
Question for anyone who has these wheels and maintenance. Do you use aluminum wheel polish to maintain the shine? Trying to figure out a safe method to keep looking new.
This is going to make a lot more sense than a gas-hog V8 as fuel prices head toward $4 @ gal and beyond. The only issue with the Ecoboost is its resale value, especially within a year or two of buying new. The last I checked you could purchase a low mileage 2017 for approximately 25% less than the original purchase price. GT's on the other hand don't depreciate as quickly--about half that. Still, if you like this styling, handling ability and a vehicle that can get 30mpg on the highway--that goes from Zero-to-most-speed-limits you'll be driving most of the time at around 1 sec slower than the V8, it's a smart choice.
I have a 2018 ecoboost, man I love that car. Insurance for the GT was way more and the price for a base model was more than a premium. The ecoboost is a fun car to drive. 310 hp, good gas mileage, and it’s a mustang! You’re not always racing so why would you hurt your pockets constantly for gas and the extra insurance. Not to mention I’m only 18.
Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience! I am glad that you are enjoying your Mustang!
Bro I'm 22 and I'm about to trade in my 14 fusion for a new 18-19 mustang eco at the end of the year,,,, but anyways how much do you pay for Insurance since it's a 2 door
How much are you paying for insurance?
Have you told your parents t that you're gay yet?

I bought a 2019 maxed out Mustang EcoBoost Premium today. Even got the black with red leather interior.
Congrats on your new Mustang. I hope she brings you many smiles per miles!

I agree 100%. I have an Ecoboost and a GT Mustang. These are amazing machines. Stay ON THROTTLE sir!
Are we going to skip over the fact that the 4cyl mustang goes 0-60 in 5.1 seconds?? To me, thats a significant number compared to other turbo 4s.

That is a great point and why I brought it up. Especially for a car this size!

Everybody talks about horsepower, but I’m like 350 pounds of torque on an I4. Crazy stuff.
Tell me about it Tom!
Another great review......and a nicely optioned Ecoboost Pony Package. I also liked the camera angle inside the car, too :)
Thank you so much for always watching and commenting! I was wondering of people liked it because I really felt it turned out good!
The Ecoboost Premium is a very nice package. 👌
Hey Joe, thanks again for another great car review. As a huge mustang fan, I’m not doubting that the new EcoBoost isn’t a good car, but I really wish Ford wouldn’t have killed the V6. The 2018-2019 refresh looks amazing and I would opt for the GT in a heartbeat but I just can’t afford it. At the same time, I can’t justify buying a 4-cylinder Mustang and living with the awful sound, even with an exhaust mod. So people like me are basically SOL and I’m betting there’s many others who feel the same way.
You are spot on and I know that there are tons of other people that feel the same exact way! I appreciate your compliments!
You can hear that turbo spin when you rev it. It's not loud, but it sounds cool!
Thanks Raiti!
You have to hear it with the active exhaust option which is new for 2019!
here check this out:

I have the 2019 Ecoboost Mustang with the new active exhaust - I love the sound it makes - its wonderful! I highly recommend it. Well done Ford.
I need to get my hands on one of these!
That Mustang grill is a part of the Pony Package, not just exclusive to the EcoBoost
Yes sir you are 100% correct! Thank you for sharing your input!
My next car will be a Mustang Ecoboost. Retro styling with great performance. Roomy and comfort inside also.
There is nothing wrong with that combination!
"Say if you have an adult child god bless ya" HAHAHAHA nice one joe!
Thank you so much! I am glad that you liked this review!
Just grabbed a 21 convertible yesterday as my birthday gift. It's fast enough for me. I also know it will not cost a lot to maintain.
I’m currently getting all information I need , for many years I’ve been dying to buy a Mustang! This year I’m finally going for it! Thanks for the great info very helpful! ❤️ My dreams finally coming true lol as a young girl before , now an adult I can finally make things happen! I’m so excited ! 🤣🤣🤣
I am so happy to hear for you! It is a great car!
“Yes I know the car is on, thank you Ford” that was good haha, my biggest problem is when you are trying to switch to sport or do anything and if you have the door open, you have engine on/doors open/ maybe a key not in car lol, gotta love it.
Oh man you hit that one on the head! It is super annoying!
Technology baby. U love it!
I owned a 2016 eco boost mustang. I replaced the Down pipe with a mishimoto catted downpipe, put in a JLT cold air intake, turbosmart wastegate actuator, Wagner intercooler, then got a dyno tune. It ended up with over 325 hp. To the wheels and 400 foot pounds of torque. It was almost as fast as my old 2013 5.0 gt mustang with 373 rear end and easier to drive around corners because the front was lighter. I could really feel the torque. Launching it was easy, no wheel hop like the 6 speed manual gt mustang. Loved it but traded it in for the 2018 mustang gt.
Thank you for sharing input from your personal experience! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Raiti's Rides that black 2019 eco boost mustang looks fantastic.
@@theroadrunnerjarhead4109 thank you for letting me share it with you!
Raiti's Rides thank you for sharing it.
From a man that owned a 2016 ford mustang eco boost i have to say i love my 2017 ford mustang GT :)
The border around the front emblem is the pony package. It's an additional cost but it can be added to Ecoboost or GT. Great video!
Thanks for your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Great review you’re one of my favorite reviewers and believe me there’s a lot of competition out there that’s also pretty good.
That is really awesome of you to say Lawrence! I am grateful for your support and you being part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Hey great review the features you are pointing out are part of the Pony Package. New for 2019 you can get the Active Valve performance with dual quad exaust on an Ecoboost and the car sounds awesome with it.
Thank you so much for your input and extra info! Thank you so much for the compliment and I appreciate you watching!
Great video man... Good content, good shots, and good enthusiasm for what you're talking about! Love this car... wish I didn't live in a snowy climate because I'd own one!
Hi Evan! That is so really awesome of yo to say! Thanks for watching!
Hello i look after a Mustang, i'm 51, i'm police officer, and i got a serious injury while doing my duty.So i decided to make my dream comes true, because we live only once.
In my country gas is more expensive, moreover mustang V8 are heavily taxed, and insurance is terrible.
So thanks to your video it's great help, i think mustang ecoboost is a nice choice for a daily driver as me.
Greetings from France.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and experience. I am glad to hear you are doing okay and I am happy to hear that you made your dream come true!
Yes I agree. I'm looking into one myself for everyday driving. It's very nice!
Really enjoy your reviews. Got to try the Mustang EcoBoost for my next car...
That is so wonderful of your to say! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. The EcoBoost is a fun car to drive even with the automatic!
Me as well. 2020 baby!
I loved this review! As soon as I pay off my Ford Focus ST, I am going to buy one of these.
Thank you so much for saying that! The Focus ST is a great car as well! What year is yours?
It is brand new, 2018. Manual, turbo engine, yellow.
@@RaitisRides
Nicely done! What's cool is that color is not even available in Europe!
I agree with Joe that the variety of engines and equipment is what makes the Mustang so great. While I love a V8 as much as the next guy, I think there is a lot to be said for powerful yet efficient cars like the ecoboost Mustang! I don’t like the exhaust note though, Ford should work on that. Acura, Honda, and Fiat know how to make a 4 cylinder that makes you want to put the windows down. Fiat 500 Abarth sounds wonderful!
Great review.. I’ll be in the market for one just like this within the next 2-3yrs.. (guard green has been my favorite Mustang color so far)
That is so awesome of you to say! I really appreciate you watching! Please let me know if you have any questions!
hey man, i love your reviews, you're super informative and very enthusiastic. keep up the good work! SUBBED!!
Thank you so much for those wonderful compliments! I really appreciate you joining this journey with me!
The rear logo on this car doesn't normally have the three stripes, but with this package it does. Just a little thing.
Thank you so much for your extra info!
I remember Baskin and Robbins 31 flavors. No really, I believe that Ford finally got the Mustang right, perfection! Love your show! I subscribed on the first video, I've seen from you.✌
That is so awesome of you to say! I am grateful that you are along on this journey with me! Thank you for taking the tie to watch and comment!
Man I wish it was blazing hot sunny here. Here today it was chilly, rainy and the high mountains got snow.
Dillon Hawkins where you located?
@@RaitisRides
Central Idaho.
Oh I bet that it gets really chilly up there! Stay tuned for Raiti's Rides over the winter to help keep you warm.
@@RaitisRides
Lol
I knew taht would make you laugh!
Know it’s hard when you’re growing your channel but I hope you’re honest in your reviews and aren’t scared to give your thoughts.
I am not scared at all. I am enjoying these different Mustangs and feel the EcoBoost is a viable option for people not wanting a V8. Thank you for your input and for watching1
@Keane I’m guessing you are new to the channel? If so welcome aboard the RR family. Joe is definitely not afraid to tell it like it is. He even tells you right in this video what he likes and doesn’t like about this ecoboost Mustang. IMO Joe is one of the most honest and entertaining car reviewers on TH-cam.
Philip thank you for saying such wonderful things and for having my back!
@@metaljew4456 that's what I like about him he gives his honest opinion about it, what he thinks looks good and what doesn't. You don't have to agree with him on what he thinks, he's just giving his opinion and showing the car off so if your in the market than I tead of you driving to the dealership he already has a video so you dont have to go anywhere
The 2019 ecoboost also has the option for active exhaust ?
Yes it does, and it also features quad-tips like the GT and GT350!
love it, it's an all round car, charismatic and yet practical.
I also loved your....pause...at the subscribe bit, I thought I was watching the Sopranos for a brief second ;)
You freaking crack me up! Thank you for watching and always having some great comments!
I don't understand haters and never will. I don't look down on someone bc of the trim level of their vehicle that they paid for! I think it's cool that this car can keep up with my 5.7 hemi and in reality destroy it on a long trip due to the mpg.
Haters are always going to hate! I think it's great to have options!
Thanks for another Mustang video. I also like the option of dual controls. I use Android Auto with the touch screen and like the option of using the buttons to change climate contol settings without using the touch screen.
Nice Review! I rented an EcoBoost Premium recently & was totally surprised by how fun it was to drive! Just curious.... which package adds the chrome window trim... I actually like the way it looks
It's called the Pony Package! Thanks for the compliment!
EcoBoost is a great little engine its just the Coyote has so much more potential for us guys who can't leave anything alone.
If you just want a Mustang driver to occasionally play with I can see the Eco being a great choice. But if you want a traditional pony/muscle car that can be ramped up to crazy power get the 5.0.
Very good points! Thank you for watching!
@@RaitisRides
Thank you for posting the vid. That mustang is a real beauty...even if she doesn't have the proper number of pots (jk).
Thank you so much for the compliment!
Is this the mustang EcoBoost premium?
Yes it is!
Hey Joe! Your Canadian admirer again. That Mustang was beautiful, and it would be my second choice only with a 6 speed. Go gettem Tom.
Thank your having my back! I really appreciate the support. I’m glad you were cool with this Mustang! Tom is going for the win!🏆👍🏻
New subscriber just bought a 2020 premium ecoboost kona blue metallic with black accent package leather with Alcantara it is one sweet ride you made my purchase so easy been a long time coming finally owner of a pony
I can't say for sure about the 2019 EcoBoost Mustang, but one of my biggest problems with previous years of the Mustang EcoBoost was the exhaust note. I realize it is hard to make a 4 cylinder engine sound like a V8 but the Mustang 4 cylinder sounds like a Japanese 4 cylinder powered sedan that has been tuned to within an inch of it's life....not very Mustang-like.
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective. Ford does have an optional exhaust for the EcoBoost that has quad tips. I will try to review one with it as soon as Walker gets one!
@@RaitisRides I would love to hear this compared to the stock 4 cylinder exhaust
Lisson kids at the end of the day it goes like "Jack the Bear" So fun to drive.
Mbrp race cat back gives the eco a decent deeper sound
This car has the corral, the red/white/blue emblem, the polished wheels, the tape stripe, and the chrome window trim because it is the Pony Package.
I just bought my 2018 gt. Ironically my insurance went down by $20 bucks per month lol. I had the ecoboost. Was an enjoyable car for a year but I couldn’t help but to always feel guilty when i see a mustang with the gt badge. But it’s all up to you. Get a gt if you can. Or a ecoboost if you really don’t care about speed
Congrats on your GT! That is really cool that you saved money! Thank you for sharing your input and perspective!
Best Mustang video ive seen
I really appreciate you saying that!
I have a 2011 mustang 6 cylinder and I wish these 4 cylinders were around that turbo sounds sweet. I'm looking to get a new GT right now.
Well you will be very happy with a GT I can tell you that!
Hey Joe.......nice review. Always wanted to see what the Ecoboost Mustang was all about. Same engine as your RS, the gearing is different I would imagine.
Big up to Tom for his great camera work once again!! 👊
Gary Green thank you so much for watching and your awesome support! There is definitely a change in the tune of the engine and the gearing. This has 40 less horsepower than my Focus RS. It’s interesting how the same engine feels so different! Thanks for watching!😊👍🏻
awesome review. ...best car reviewer of all time
Thant is so awesome of you to say! I really appreciate your support!
I'm in the market for a mustang and I find your videos very informative and enjoyable. Unrelated question, are you in the path of the hurricane?
HighVoltage75 thank you so much for your wonderful words! I really appreciate you saying that!
Thankfully this time around I am not in the path. My prayers and well wishes go out to those who are.
Great revue! My 2nd car was a 1967 289 Falcon 200hp
Thank you so much for saying that! I would love a Ford Falcon! Do you ever miss it? What color was it?
My 1st V8 and I was a 17yo. It was Zircon Green. It started off stock and the first mod was a 500 2 barrel holley, a mild improvement. I acquired a 4 barrel windsor manifold and a couple of 600 vacuum secondary holleys, which made 1 good carby, and a dual exhaust system from FORDHAM spares. Happy with this because I could now "Lay Rubber". Joe I miss all my old cars.
Oh man that sounds wonderful! I am right there with you! I miss so many of my old cars!
So you said the wheel is 19 inches from top to bottom. Just wondering how many inches is it side to side ? Thanks
High Noah! These wheels are 19x9. Thanks for watching!
Has Ford addressed the ecoboom issue??
Yes it has. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Hey Joe Great review.. EcoBoost 4 with 10R80 sounds like a great combo for a daily driver.. BUT I would hate my self for not getting the V8 ! That Coyote is pure Mechanical Music !
Robert Stewart Thank you so much for your compliment! I totally agree with you!👍🏻
how long do u think is the lifespan EcoBoost engine....?????
With proper maintenance it will last a very long time.
If I want to buy the EcoBoost premium mustang 2019 and not doing anything after market and I don’t drive harshly then do u think it can last at least about 150,000 to 200,000
I really don't see why not.
Raiti's Rides ok
Please let me know if you have anymore questions!
What a great video joe
Thank you for being such a big fan!
Becase it is a Ford - the best carmaker on the planet! LOVE a Mustang!
I am so glad that you enjoyed this one!
😂😂😂You must be joking
Anthony Tah May some people have there favorites.
I've never been a fan of ford vehicles but I love the eco boost mustang and the new ford ranger.
Does the aluminum hood have blistering paint?
Not that I have seen. I think Ford has fixed that problem.
Not on a Ford vehicle.
Love that mustang❤
You have great taste!
Isn't the corral the Pony Package only? This is a full Pony Package with the chrome around the window, the wheels, the stripe, the red/white/blue stripe pony on the back, the corral on the front.
You are 100% correct!
What's the MPG for the 2019 Ford Mustang EcoBoost? In 1964 and 1/2, I wasn't even born yet and had not seen their 1st Ford Mustang since nowadays and it seems like in the future we'll be seeing more of a Mustang EV or the other kinds of Ford Mustangs. (Like 2023 and 2024 Mustangs).
So, did they change the Mustang logo on the back? The logo with 3 stripes was always the v6, no stripes but pony was the ecoboost and the GT had GT (obviously there are cobra's and other models, as well). I know they stopped making the v6 so why, oh why, does this pony have 3 stripes behind it?
They have changed up the logos on the latest generation.
@@RaitisRides I know the logos were the same at least through 2017, I guess they must've changed them in 18 or 19 then.
It looks like that badge is only available with the heritage package that adds Crome window seals and front lined/surrounded pony emblem with those rims and stripe looks like they are trying a 66-68 styling for this stang.
This reminds me of the 1984 4 banger mustangs. My dad bought 1 for himself and 1 for my mother. Coming from a family with v8 Nova’s, Mustangs, Camaro’s and Challengers...I literally secretly wished for those two 80 stangs to disappear!
Unless it’s a GT ecoboost or Raptor’s I wouldn’t look twice at this thing.
Nice review once again sir!
I can totally understand where you are coming from. In college I had friends that would take the 4 cyl engines out of the fox body Mustangs and put 5.0 GT motors in them. Thank you for your awesome support and for watching!
Appreciate the honesty for saying your dad was stupid for buying 2 turds ?
I own Camaro, Chevelle but I am starting to like the Mustang, am considering the 2019 Mustang Ecoboost Performance package.
It's a fun option!
Really a nice car I just got my 2019 ecobee 2.3 with the performance package, I just love it it’s the ruby red and it is fast.
Dumb question probably but does the ecoboost mustang have parking sensors?
The higher trim levels do!
@@RaitisRides Like the premium version?
Yes sir!
Mine will be running with GTs after a tune, catback and intercooler
Now that sounds like fun!
uh, no it won't
Love those pony cars. I think I'll get ahold of Walker Ford and see what they got . Thanks for another sports car review. 👍
4 cylinders with turbo. Easy 300 plus HP today...
This is so very true! If you wanted to turn up the wick you can!
i thought there was a twin turbo version. is there?
No twin turbos just a single turbo. The Raptor and Ford GT has two turbos!
Great video man.
Thank you you so much for saying that! I really appreciate you watching!
I have the 2018 camaro 2ss and bought the 2018 ecoboost premium as my city driving and I loved it for a v6 its damn fast
Thank you for sharing your experience! You have a nice set of cars!
Raiti's Rides Thanks for the great video keep it up
If you bought the ecoboost, its a turbocharged I4, not the v6. Its a fun car.
M4B21S88 I tried the ecoboost full potential what I did was put in sport plus mode and since mine was an 10 speed automatic i put it on Sport and tried on a drag strip everything was stock this turbocharged is damn fine
RD 2 I can imagine. I have a 2016 and honestly its fast enough it shocks some other faster cars lol Ive been using 93 octane since I bought it, cant imagine using lower octane. I hear the 2018s make the overboost/ use of the additional 30 ft/ lbs of torque only via drag mode. Id be driving in drag mode all day everyday! Lol
Thanks ,nice car ,310 hp was a lot of hp back in the day .
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
thats a beautiful pony
I totally agree with you!
Any new info on the 2020 High Performance Package for EcoBoost ?
It will hopefully be here 4th quarter!
Tommy Daly you can't add the Pony Package to the GT only the Ecoboost
That is very true! Thanks for your input!
Joe, Nice eco-boast review!
Thank you sir!
Question for anyone who has these wheels and maintenance. Do you use aluminum wheel polish to maintain the shine? Trying to figure out a safe method to keep looking new.
This is going to make a lot more sense than a gas-hog V8 as fuel prices head toward $4 @ gal and beyond. The only issue with the Ecoboost is its resale value, especially within a year or two of buying new. The last I checked you could purchase a low mileage 2017 for approximately 25% less than the original purchase price. GT's on the other hand don't depreciate as quickly--about half that. Still, if you like this styling, handling ability and a vehicle that can get 30mpg on the highway--that goes from Zero-to-most-speed-limits you'll be driving most of the time at around 1 sec slower than the V8, it's a smart choice.
You bring up some really great points! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!
if you are in it for the long haul base with 10 speed
Very good point thank you for the feedback!
Agreed
Funny you mentioned gas prices as I paid $1.97/g yesterday. You must be in Cali or Hawaii.
