5 Things you probably didn’t know about your 3.7 V6 Mustang

I thought this would be a little fun video considering I have limited content, I hope you guys enjoyed it! Please drop a like and subscribe I would greatly appreciate it.(DRIVESHAFT IS STILL THE SAME, Misinformation on my part! My apologies, but the top speed of at least 155mph has been proven achievable on stock ds, no gear changes.)

I have a 3.7 V6 mustang. It was meant to be a cheap car to commute to work everyday but its got enough power to make me look forward to driving it everyday

2013 here. That 3.7 is by far the best all around engine I've ever owned plus its worth mentioning that it's beautiful and uncluttered. It's rare to actually see the engine these days

Unless your racing for a living or you make $$ from mustangs online . You’re good with a V6 . Sounds hella nice, has power, and not bad on gas and you can find them for under 16k

I got 227, 000 miles on my 2012 V6. Still has factory clutch and brakes. Stainless exhaust and a K&N in the factory air box are the only drivetrain mods. Wheels and tires and window tint and that's it. I love driving it, I love the compliments I get. And I love the 30 mpg average on on 87 pump gas.

I have a 2012 V6 Mustang and always run 92 Oct. Ethanol free. Also have a 2019 Transit XLT 350T with the 3.7 L . First thing I did was delete the stock exhaust after the cat and go with a Magnaflow 3 inch in and 2, 2 1/2 inch out. Comes out just in front of the rear passenger wheel and sounds fabulous. Really open it up and I run ethanol free in it too. Thanks again for all the good info you guys have . I'm 70 and just like having healthy proformance at my age. Got a Harley Davidson V Rod and a Triumph Speed Triple if I want to go fast. Merry Christmas 🎄⛄

I've owned my 2015 V6 Auto for 8.61 years as of today (7.1.23) and have right at 43, 200 miles on it. It's the Automatic but I use "S" mode and initiate every single up and down shift. The last time the transmission shifted for me was probably several years ago. I find the engine to have just enough torque, just enough revs, and just the right gearing vs. weight vs. road speed. Nice sound, and the transmission never disappoints me.

I am on my third set of tires on it. Originally it had the 235/50-18s and I found them ponderous. Next round I went with 235/45-18s (can't remember the brand / type). Recently I moved to 235/40-18s with the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s, and the car just handles very nicely for a big car. Yes, my speedometer reads a little higher than reality, but I also reduced unsprung weight just a bit, reduced sidewall flex, and lowered the effective gearing just a tad. The car also sits just about an inch lower. The ride is still great, and the wheel wells are still filled out nicely from an appearance standpoint.

Low points would be the barebones interior and the lackluster audio (compared to my last two cars, a 2007 Civic Si and a 2012 Scion FR-S, both of which had far clearer and fuller audio). I find the seats and driving position decent enough although I tend to have the seat up as high as it will go.

Only modification I've made other than the tires has been to paint the hood matte black. I did this not to make it look like a carbon fiber hood but to remove a distracting glare / sun glint coming off the rightside crease in the hood and blinding me. It worked.

It hasn't all been perfect. The AC went out in 2018, and Ford wanted a shocking $2400 to fix it. I bought a thirty dollar can of AC Pro in 2019 and it has been blowing cold for four years now. Had the brake light actuator stopper disintegrate, replaced with small neodymium magnets (there's a recall on this item now but when it happened to me Ford wanted $700 to fix it!). Also had the door latch issue occur, which was fixed under recall right in my driveway by the traveling Ford dealership mechanic! Also had the rear camera die, also replaced under recall. Other than that, NO PROBLEMS. The engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, frame, and all other electronic and interior elements are rock solid.

I have a 2014 v6 premium I would never trade or leave it I’m the 3rd and final owner of this bitch and she’s runs great

6. The 3.7 Cyclone V6 is also used for the 2013-19 Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Police Interceptor Sedan (Taurus).

I have a 2015 3.7 V6 Mustang and I love the performance. When I go for a drive its usually the length of Nova Scotia from Yarmouth to Sydney on Cape Breton Island. I do highway trips, rather than short hops like work to home, this is where this engine truly shines, at least in my opinion. I should not admit this but I've rocketed by some 5L Mustangs in my travels. its a great engine that puts out more power than the V8 did in the late 1990's and early 2000's. It's a shame that Ford wanted to push the 4 by taking away the V6. While I cruse rather quickly I never slam down and abuse the engine. I'm also fussy about oil changes as I love my car. In my experience Mustangs are one of the strongest cars on the road. My home province is surrounded by ocean water and roads are salty in winter, even with this I see lots of 25 year old Mustangs on the highway.

I love my 2015. I’m going to drive it till it blows up

I have a 2012 V6 Mustang and I love it!. All I did to it was put in a K&N air filter. I just found out that the water pump is internal to the engine and will cost about $1800 for parts and labor to replace it. So, if you have more than 90K miles on the car, which I have, you may get hit with a water pump replacement.

[michaelstevens]

good stuff... factual and helpful. Appreciate the straightforward facts!

[jaywardjulian]

Thanks for those input about V6, just r ecently purchased a nice USED 2013 V6 from an original single owner and dang he really took good care of that horse, I'm excited how well it would serve me for the coming years, it has now 109k miles thanks Samstang

I have a 2014 3.7 and I love it, it's modded pretty well also

[AutoYoung]

They dropped the HP because of the manifold change to make it fit under the newly redesigned lower hood...

[clarencewatkins]

Thanks for a informative and to the point video.👍

[jewlz]

I just got my 2013 3.7 well I had it for a month now and my friend told me about that video and was scared to take my car past 110 lol but you gave me hope hopefully I’ll start getting a few mods going but for now I think a tune & a cai is good.

[trier]

I looked into buying a 2015 Ecoboost but honestly, the exhaust note didn't sound right to me. It had the power but didn't sound like a proper mustang. I decided to go with a 2014 V6 instead when I get the money.

anyone know how to test the vvt? I've got vvt errors showing on my scanner but the cel is not on or throwing codes.
