2011 3.7 automatic. Over 200,000 miles. New Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers, new Ford catted x pipe, new spark plugs, thermostat, radiator flush, and the usual maintenance, oil, brakes, tires. Runs like a champ!
Does it feel slower?
@@timetofl0at340 Nope.
What about the hood?
@@jackryan4313 What about it?
@@jamesfarris3487 the paint problem with the rust. Have you experienced that?
150,000 miles on my 2012 3.7 no issues so far
22 avg mpg woth "fun" driving
Pj Mendoza Smiles per mile
Have a 2012 also just hit 113,000 no issues
I can’t tell if I got a really good 2012 or not but but last year I bought one with 55k miles and now it’s at 62k and I see everyone has one with 100k+ with no problems so it has to last me right?
Albert Miranda little bit late, but TAKE CARE OF IT. Change the oil every 3000-5000 miles, suspension checkup at every 10k Miles, breaks when needed, etc, and it should last you years with no issues :)
Oh man I can’t wait for the 2nd cyclone to come! I have an automatic so it would be really nice to see what you’ll do to it and more tips for the automatics. Keep up the great content man!
2014 3.7 automatic..airaid cai..87 oct.mpt tune..borla s type axelbacks...recaro seats...she is Awsum!!!!
I LOVE MUSTANGS!!! But let me explain something to you about reliability....
I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla S with 300,000 miles. Still runs like it was NEW. It has never had a single problem, or broken down once. EVERY SINGLE time I have turned the key, it has started, and ran. The only things I have replaced are normal service items over time. Brakes, belts, fluid flushes, spark plugs, new battery(at 10yrs), and a fan belt tension arm at 300,000miles. Seriously. It's a FREAKISHLY reliable car.
When you want to talk about reliability, you need to put some serious miles on a car. If a car can't go 100,000mi without a water pump going bad, an A/C compressor dying, or a fluid leak developing, it really isn't all that reliable. Such is the nature of Mustangs, and most Amercian pony cars. Euros are even worse.
That said, I still love the Mustang. One of the funnest, and most practical of all pony cars. They really are a star in the minds of your average blue collar Joe that wants affordable performance. But please, if you want to talk about reliability, make sure you compare it with other similar cars like the Camaro, Challeneger, and some of the Eeros like Audi S5 or BMW 435i. In those cases the Mustang can be a little more reliable, but nothing compared to cars that would laugh at your mere mention of the word.
toyotas are pretty fricken reliable
I must have test drove every toy in my price range.... all left me bored and VERY underimpressed.might be reliable but wow are they plain and boring
THIS IS A MUSTANG POST NOT TOYOTA
You also have to take into consideration how hard you drive your car. Like red lining and taking it to the track every other weekend. pushing it to the limit. That's the beauty of it, it's daily and a race car on the weekends. But from what I heard those Corolla are bulletproof when it comes to daily driving 💪
@@moparjalopy8223 that's why they are "reliable" not too many parts to break
Awesome to see your getting another Stanger. The only thing that I would say, the freaking water pump keeps going out on mine, in less than a year! And I don't even drive crazy and only 10 minutes from my job. Cylinder Head temperature reaches 204*F in ten minutes from work to home driving conservatively. Looking into getting a more reliable aftermarket water pump. I heard Gates makes a good one.
Your right, they are fun. And I like that the motor is called a Cyclone. Sounds cool
I've Had my cyclone for over 2 years now and drive it hard every day. Only issue was the waterpump at 15000 miles but it was a quick warranty fix. The 07 gt I had never gave me an issue and it's still goin strong for the guy I sold it to (200,000 plus miles). Can't wait for some manual/auto comparison vids
what year was your car?
Awesome! Can't wait! I have a 2014 auto V6 myself. Just the base but it's enough speed for me. Have a tune, CAI, better tires and brakes. Oh and better drive belt. She hits 130mph quick!
Andrew Christianson maybe quick to you but to the real racers we will carry on with our v8’s
@@Bendejo6517 a little sense of superiority?
Xilus exactly because I will have 420hp while he has 300
@@Bendejo6517 yeah I'm sure he already knew that. But as he said, 300 hp or whatever he is making with a tune is enough for him. No need to bring that "real racers" bs.
Xilus LMAO
2013 3.7L, 71k km (44k miles) water pump failure and o2 sensor is giving me problems. I believe the rear diff had to be repaired by the previous owner (within the first 30k miles) too. but, besides these things, the car has been a beauty :D
Have you ever changed coolant or put Prestone Total Cooling system treatment to lubricate the pump?
@@denyss2219no i haven't, would that have helped?
@@Qwerky01 supposed to help to keep water pump seal lubricated. Then it doesn't leak coolant outside.
@@denyss2219 oh no way! i should try it out with my new pump.. although it's a different design that apparently shouldn't happen again? fingers crossed.. thanks for the tip!
212,000 miles on mine, still running great
You think I should buy one with 120k miles or nah? Mind you I’m only 17 and want a reliable fun car
@@laithsnipes4348 hell yeah man, ford's 6 cylinders have always been great. And I beat the hell out of mine for 30,000 miles and still runs fine
My 2011 has 206k miles only issure I had was water pump other then that nothing she still runs and sounds good
Cops must be nonexistent in your area. I jump on the throttle 1 time and was instantly pulled over and warned about the heavy foot. Damn.
i know most of the cops in my town lol
The Ford Explorer Police Interceptor and the Ford Taurus Police Interceptor uses the same 3.7 Cyclone V6 as the Mustang. The only difference is that they are not reliable as the ones in the Mustang and F-150 because of water pumps driven by the timing chain in transverse applications.
Fantastic new 3.7 owner 2016 premium v6 ... Love yr videos ..
Reliability update please? I'm planning on buying one this week please help me out
I never thought I'd love the sound of a V6, but my 3.7L 2015 Ford Police Interceptor Utility sounds like the business when I floor it on the highway and cars move out of my way fast! 😂
Even the taurus 3.7 interceptors have really good pickup and sound great. Ford should have never stopped making that model Taurus.. Great car.
@@3SevenStangVids Yeah, once that "Pursuit Mode" kicks in, it launches you forward. 2nd gear and up, she's fire.
I got the Utility (Explorer). True story, there's a sharp turning exit that has a 1 mile approach that all the Porches & BMW's pass me (even when I'm doing the legal limit of 65mph) on the straight.
But when we get to the curve itself, they ALL slow down and I blow by them like they're standing still in time and always look over to see the shock on their faces that they're getting passed by an SUV! 😂
Sometimes, there are a couple of New York State Troopers parked on the side and whenever they've seen me do that, they laugh and give me the thumbs up.
That thing stays planted at speed.
By the time those princesses catch up to me on the straight onto the next highway, I'm so far ahead of them, that they have to double time to catch up.
It just goes to show that in the real world, with turns and bumps on imperfect roads, it's not straight line performance that wins the race (not that I ever race🙄).
Have fun.
Hell yeah, mpt tune her car as well 😅
her Xmas gift is an SCT X4 and MPT tune bundle .. shhh oh wait she can see this.. fuck
Im curious to see how the MPT tune does on the auto, my 3.7 F150 needs a tune, bad.
Mr Anderson I have a full review on the mpt tune, and my car is auto
MPT tunes the 3.7 transmission better than anyone else
Another common issue with the 3.7 is the exhaust manifold could crack. Many police departments who has Ford Explorers in their fleet had carbon monoxide issues because of the exhaust manifold. The 3.7 Cyclone V6 in your Mustang is also used in the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan (Taurus). Unlike the Mustang, F-150, Transit, and Expedition, the Taurus and Explorer has an internal water pump that costs a small fortune when it blows up. Some Ford Transits also have carbon monoxide leaking to the cabin. It’s only time when more complaints pile up and lawsuits against Ford again.
Never knew they had 3.7 in the Taurus
Yeeeeeeeessssssssss !!!!!!!! AWSOME!!!!! can't wait to see what you do
I got banned from MustangEvolution for sticking up for the 3.7 community :'( Maybe its because I told buddy to grab the noose.
lol ive been on there a few times, i can't stand it
I just spatup my food reading this bahahahahh
Look forward to the auto vs manual
Great news.. look forward to your uploads
As long as you change the water pump and the driveshaft you're good.
Hers will be heavier than yours being a full spec premium so the races should be in your favor stock for stock. Nice she's getting a cyclone, definitely a keeper lol.
Fuck ya! I have a 2013 grabber V6 and wife has a 14 black performance pack V6. Both auto and have big plans for both
That is great . Have fun .....
115,000 zero issues hope to see the auto 3.7 soon
Do you still have it?
Who's here in 2019 :) me me me From Canada Ontario long live v6 cyclone baby
im still here :)
still have two 3.7s also.. Miss my 5.0 but I LOVE THE 3.7!
I'm driving mine through the winter lol I dont give a f$#! . Theres only 2 cyclones where I live. Were a rare breed. I love this channel. Keep it up make more
Got a 13 v6 auto too, wished I got one fully packed 🙁 but that’s just me being picky. But overall tho the car hasn’t fail not once just besides the water pump. Lol but yes looking forward for this next car. Keep up the work bro 👌🏼
Luis Garcia water pump failed on me to, a couple months before insurance went out. Thank Christ
hey yall! So i bought my mustang at 93,000, it has one owner. it is now at 112,000. In that time I have had to get a new wiring harness,throttle body and motor mounts. Is that a normal older car kind of fixes?
I have the exact same car except the touch screen
I want the mpt tune but i don’t want them saying i voided my warranty
This is going to be the shit. You can give her all your know how. Then you can also help with vids on auto cars showing it in real time. Up the channel doing real time with both cars at the same time. That is if you want to. This is one of my fav places to watch and get 3.7 info and for some fun videos.
I see you with the new haircut🔥🔥
Are you interested in a bbk 73mm throttle body?
I am...I was going to order one off AM or CJPP, why are you selling it though?
Drake M I boosted my 3.7 and when they were installing it the bbk one wouldn’t fit without cutting into the throttle body or the brackets. Shop recommended to just use the stock one. Bbk throttlebody only has 500-750 miles on it
Drake M if you have Instagram dm me @dar_maul3.7
I have the 91 and 93oct tune from mpt...just not sure if i wanna go ther yet😂
I’m a first time car owner do you recommend me buying this car used or should I look into a different car
I'm 8 months late but, i would probably buy a Toyota for a first realible car. Either 6 Gen Celica's or Camry's.
@@jhnwik469 lol i went with a 2019 challenger r/t Toyotas are lame
The early ones suffered from cold tick eating up left cams
2011-12.
Which year is best?
Ha! Even 3SevenStangs run on Dunkin!
Why don't you get an s550?
I used to believe my 2012 3.7 Mustang is a reliable car. After 5 years/30, 000 miles of ownership, the water pump broke down, the alternator broke down, the lower control arms preference poorly and one of the pulleys is making a whining noise. She is my weekend car, but it seems She has more issues than my daily drive 2013 Sentra. According to Scotty Kilmer, this Sentra is the worst vehicle that you can find on the surface of the earth. However, I love my Mustang a lot. I would keep her for a really long time until I have to give her away. I work on my Mustang. She is a little fast than before and handles much better than the first day I own it. It usually will not happen if you have an extremely reliable car, because those shitty parts refuse to break down. You know they are about to die, but they don't, just like the whole car. Never die, but never live either.
Thanks for the comment. Im at 113k miles with original control arms and alternator. Your car might have been built on a Monday ;)
@@3SevenStangVids I love the 3.7 cyclone engine. The power band is a little high, but it makes the car really fun to drive if it is a manual. The engine idles smoothly after get rid of the Motorcraft throttle body. Mustang will be much more reliable without using the Motorcraft as their supplier.
@@yanghu3592 Ive been a Ford service Advisor for 3 years now and i can tell you for sure the 2011-2014 mustangs are the most reliable cars ford has ever made
@@3SevenStangVids you mean that? Cuz I've been getting worried about making the dive after seeing the 6sp manual transmission in the 2011+ models being a problem, as well as paint/rust problems on the hoods, and a few other things
I know this comment is a year old but if ya see it, I really could use some advice. I just totaled my previous car and I want a Stang...the 2011-14s seem like a good deal for me, budget wise, but I'm worried I'll buy the car I want and then send it to my garage to be wrenched on
Why do you prefer a 3.7 over a 5.0
Most people have 5.0's and don't end up even modding them because of their current income/finances. The 3.7 in my opinion is a better daily driver, cheaper payments, way cheaper on gas, way way cheaper on insurance. Hell my neighbor down the street had a 2015 GT race red 50th anniversary edition S550, ended up getting laid off and got his car re-possessed. Stay humble I always say hahaha
Drake M my older brother was barely able to get axle backs for his 5.0 and I have all this crap done to my 3.7. Those payments and insurance too is insane for the v8
I've raced 2 Coyotes with my 3.7. They are not that much faster depending on your options. My car has an aluminum driveshaft and coilovers. From a dig the s550 I raced it was inconclusive. I got beat from a roll but the coyote did not pull all that hard on me. My car weighs about 3350. A coyote weighs quite the bit more.
Honestly I would take a 5.0 over a 3.7 any day , a 3.7 will never sound as good as a coyote v8. Plus saying 3.7’s beats 5.0’s, the 5.0’s are usually stock add couple bolts on to the 5.0 the 3.7 ain’t gonna win.
Jose Lopez a 5.0 isn’t affordable for me right now. If I made the decision to trade in my 3.7 right now I wouldn’t ever have spare money to mod it. I would literally be driving a stock 5.0 forever but when I can afford one I’m definitely going to get one. I too want that v8 sound that I’ll never have with my 3.7
So I’m cross shopping a 13-14 3.7 with a 16 civic coupe and 16 accord coupe. Would you say 3.7 reliability somewhat is on par with these? I see a 2013 3.7 for 65k miles in my area and really want it lol. I know the hondas come equipped with apple car play and stuff. But won’t be too expensive to add an aftermarket touch screen and sound system to the mustang yeah?
Nah aftermarket radios are only a few hundred, plus you can also get the tesla screen in these cars. I honestly think you will enjoy waking up everyday and seeing a mustang instead of a honda. Reliability is great with these cars.
Is 2013 v6 mustang a reliable car
of course
4:00
If they are that reliable why not get one with 100k miles on it for half that price?
because i can afford one without the miles ?
I'd get a catch can if they were $50
Who did your dashboard?
what do u mean ? The optic lighting ?
@@3SevenStangVids yesir!! The lighting on the odometer n such
was havoc lighting but they sucked ass with customer service. Use this site - www.ledallthethings.com/
Get an S550!!!!!!!
