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
@@timetofl0at340 I got the same mustang but damn you got a deal lol I financed mine for 11,000 in total but then again some part aren’t stock on it maybe that’s why
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 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'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.
Of the three new cars I've owned, my dream combo would be the chassis / body / mechanicals of the FR-S, the interior / audio / controls of the Civic Si, and the 3.7 liter V6 and transmission of the Mustang.
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.
I have a 2012 V6 and just got my water pump replaced in Silver Spring, MD. Parts $267.53, labor $455. You can get cheaper if you can do the job yourself, but I'm not equipped to do it. I don't know what you mean by "internal to the engine"; it bolts onto the driver's side of the block, but is accessible externally.
According to what I've read, vehicles with the 3.7L V6 which have FRONT WHEEL DRIVE do have the internal water pump (it sits in the V, under the manifold). The rear wheel drive 3.7L V6, which is the mustangs, have a water pump that is bolted onto the outside of the engine. It has to do with whether the engine and transmission is mounted laterally, or longitudinally.
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.
Same boat here , kind of lol , I’m lucky number 2 and I’m hoping I’m the last one , I’ve been well over 3k in modifications In this car and I’ve only had it since December of 2021, I plan on putting way more into it then paying it off , once I pay it off ,I’m gutting the interior and throwing some radials on her and making it a full time drag strip car , once it’s paid off I’m getting my dream truck , a 2022 Nissan Frontier pro 4x
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 recently bought an F150 with this same engine. I expected it to be a little wheezer of a V6, but didn't really care because I just needed a basic truck. I was amazed with how powerful it is.
Same here. I have it in my 2013 F150. And it's the basic xl 8ft bed. No power windows and all. Only thing I added was the factory cruise control. Activated it in FORSCAN.
@@Oddman1980 what I did is disconnect the battery, remove the horn/airbag. Then swap out the switch with one that has the cruise button. Then hooked up to the OBD with an MS/HS Switch equipped cable, then go in and activate the Cruise Control and Speed Control. There are a few other things that the XL is wired for that the XLT comes with. I think Fog lights may be one of them too. You can also program keys with the FORSCAN too. My truck came with one key. I now have 4 of them. Paid about 10 bucks per blank key.
I keep seeing the Ecoboost Mustangs setting on car lots at the dealership because no one wants to buy them mostly because there a 4 cylinder it doesn’t matter about the Hsp with there twin turbos they still are and sound like a 4 cylinder. I was at the Ford dealership a few days ago and the sales man said no one wants to buy them they want the V8 but some wished Ford would still have the 3.7 I told him that Ford will find out they made a mistake and the 3.7 will come back and probably with a twin turbo package, I hope they do. The new Ecoboost prices are the same as a GT Mustang so the only people buying the Ecoboost is for the fuel economy but the ones who want a Muscle Car they go for the GT basic V8 or all out for the GT Premium V8 which I seen a 2018 And Ford Dealership wanted $50,000 for it but it was NICE
At my dealership the ecoboost are 10 to 15 to thousand cheaper and actually we almost never have the ecoboost at my dealership because they sell out so quickly
They’re not even cheaper dude, wtf are you talking about they’re were 3k more and and they discontinued the v6 bc it was cheaper MAKE the ecoboost while jacking the price up , and the ecoboost and gt were the only models that offered packages, only one for the v6 and it offered fog lights and wheels , don’t talk out of your ass just bc you think it sounds smart
Had a 3.7 in the past, now I have a 5.0 convertible GT and despite them being based on the same platform it's incredible how differently they drive. Obviously having the V8 is going to give it more horsepower, but between that and the added weight of the convertible it's just such a different experience. I would actually be really interested in getting a another 3.7 hardtop, as the autocross car in throw as many Boss 302 Parts that it is possible, kinda you know making into a boss 225/226.
I read about the carbon buildup problems with the Ecoboost so going with a V6 was a no brainer for me. I didn't know you could put higher octane gas for an easy performance boost. Love my 2015 V6 Stang!
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.
Btw its probably not a good idea to advise people to go to 155 on a stock driveshaft, I've been around these cars for years, they will have trouble over 135 and even worse with 3.73's or 4.10's
American muscle did a baseline a while back ago with the dyno graph and everything but I’m not quite sure if the video is still out there unfortunately it seems like it’s made up to some people, but I agree I wouldn’t recommend 155 but can achieve it without the explosion of the stock one, I wouldn’t drive too aggressive with the stock one at high speeds
Sorry, but the drive shaft info you gave is incorrect. The first "11-12" drive shaft pic you shared is actually a GT drive shaft. The next picture you shared is the DS you get in 11-14 cars. They are all the same, I've worked one all year 3.7s before.
There is only a 5 hp difference from 11-14 to the 15 and up 3.7’s (305 vs 300), this was mostly a marketing gimmick by Ford to sell more 4 cylinder ecoboosts because Ford knew they were dropping the v6, as you mentioned the 3.7 makes more hp with 93 octane, the ecoboost was marketed with 310 hp based and 320 tq off 93 octane, that same car only makes 275 hp on 87 and 300 tq, so the v6 even in 15’ with 87 octane outperforms the ecoboost and most people don’t exclusively use 93 like myself. Huge difference there and that’s why I agree the v6 was a better car for the base and more reliable. It will be back most likely in the form of a 2.7 Ecoboost it’s just a matter of time
The 305 hp rating is on 93, ford even says so in all their literature, but yes the 5hp drop was a slight change in the intakes and maybe a slight change in tuning plus, as you say they wanted the 4banger eco to become more popular to meet the stiffer EPA fuel mileage average requirements, thus the 3 cyl eco engine in the focus and fiesta etc, trying to boost overall average of fuel economy!
My son has a 2011 and my daughter a 2013. These cars are not all that fast for having 300+HP. They need at least 3.42 gears that would really wake them up. 3.73 probably too much but I'd bet 3.42 would be great.
@@javeantedemonz4206 no idea how fast stock but I have an 02 V6 firebird 200hp and 342s and it's comparable. We also used to have a 2010 V6 mustang and honestly it seemed quicker. Whatever these have its way to tall.
@@Tradbow85 someday I'd like to put 410s in my v6 firebird. The housing would need a little grinding from what I've read. I have hp tuners and it's very easy to set that up. Highway would increase rpms by about 400 so not a big deal. One of many priorities that outnumber available funds. Even now it's pretty good with 342s but it could use some help.
I have a feelin that ford had a plan to make the 4cyl to take place of the v6...since there very close to hp...also,to have more people buy the 5.0s,since that would be the only step up..😶🤨
Was that with the stock driveshaft, or the aftermarket aluminum?? I am thinking about getting a 2014 3.7 V6 convertible, but the 120mph or whatever limiter is garbage, for a car that should have no trouble hitting at least 140 to 150mph every now and then traffic and road conditions permitting, with the correct rated tires. V speed rating I think. H is 130 mph rated. The video of the driveshaft explosion makes my nervous and if need be I will get the aluminum driveshaft. Would love your input.
#6 (not mentioned), 3.7L was originally designed by Mazda in Japan back in 2007, requested by Ford, to replace its old 4.2L found in 1997-2008 F-150 trucks.
Your right but in the Ford vechicle that engine is not the same internally .I don't know the break up of the differences but it does not have the same power from the cx9 to the Ford edge sport or into the mustang there are many differences Ford had a partnership with Mazda they split and Ford built on the 3.7 to make it an extra special engine .
@@GoldenDeer-ox3po you're all wrong.. the Cyclone is a completely different engine family to the old Duratec 2.5/3.0 used in older Taurus', contours, fusions, and mazda 6's etc. also the 3.7 or 3.0 was never designed by mazda simply used by mazda. only difference is the mazda version was built in japan and only had slight differences (hardly worth mentioning) to be used in Mazda vehicles (like the CX-9). otherwise, they're exactly the same as any other FWD ford equipped 3.7.
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.
Saw an interview with a Ford guy over in Germany, who said that Ford dropped the V6 in favor of the POS eco boost to attract the European market. He laughed when he revealed that the European buyers went 80% for the V8. I was going to buy the IRS V6 when it came out, but Ford, in it's infinite wisdom, decided to "rental fleet" the car, and stripped off nearly every performance/brake upgrade. So I passed and bought a Charger instead.
yea i bet when ford brings the v6 back it will be a ecoboost. then the mustang L4 ecoboost will drop in sales. because think about it ford wouldnt have released a ecoboost v6 because it would kill the GT market some so they are trying to make the mustang gt modales more powerful until they start to think of releasing a v6 ecoboost mustang.
I have this engine on my F150. They weren't kidding when they say it can scream at insanely high RPM. I'll get a misfire when the engine is cold. Probably because I have to replace spark plugs and one of the coil might be bad.
It's not a V8 but that shouldn't take anything away from this engine it's reliable and if you take your time to build it they are scary sleepers and even stock they are good enough to have some fun I myself have a drop top 14 with the V6 and a 2020 GT and I enjoy driving my V6 more especially during the late and early summer.
I have the 3.8l v6, year 2000 model After about $1300 in parts, it will out run most cars and V8s.. I bought it for $2300 leaving the total for my car at $3600ish.. For the price you can't go that fast for that cheap... people spend 10X as much to still get dusted by me
That was because of the government regulations concerning emissions and fuel economy which lasted from the 70s energy crises well into the 80s and even the 90s. My first vehicle, a 1993 Ford Ranger, 2WD, 5 speed manual 4 cylinder, had the 85 mph speedo with the 55mph mark highlighted. Made a good conversation piece, for the younger generation who is used to seeing 120, 140 and 160 mph speedo. For those younger folks wondering about the 85 mph speedo, that was also a Federal regulation, in an attempt to get drivers to slow down and conserve fuel, during the energy crisis, gas lines and stagflation of the 70s
It’s some American muscle video out there, but the reason behind it is Bc the car was supposed to be a fuel economy/power, so the hp and torque numbers presented to public were for 87 octane, however the fuel maps are adaptive and are mapped for 87,89, and 93, the car will advance timing when it reads a higher octane, it’s nothing crazy that you’ll actually feel and you’ll still be better off with a tune, but it’s neat that it’s there
Bought my v6 with 56k miles now it has 113k miles and you can’t tell a difference. I don’t even change my oil or check any fluids or temps and I redline the car when it’s cold.
I have the 2017 v6 3.7 graber blue mustang it ran me pretty good but found my engine leaking when I bought the car it ran good while leaking like nothing was wrong and it wasn't till a oil change walmart did messed up my engine I felt like what ever was leaking wasn't even a issue cut the mufflers and cats and left the resignator on cut the cats off sounds like a screaming rasp viper I'm getting another engine now but I'm hoping my exhaust wasn't the issue on why my check engine light came on but it did hopefully the new engine removes it and I can get rid of the rasp with an x pipe or get new tips I like being creative with my batmobile teardrop
They did not D tune it. It's switch categories from sports car to economy car. At which point the testing along with the dyno testing is done with 87 octane instead of 93. If you take a stock 2015 to 2017 V6 and only change the fuel to 93 octane and dyno test it, it will make 305 to 310. Depending.
It was always an economy car, it’s even stated in the manual that, that was always the focus. The engines will BOTH fluctuate with higher octane, but it’s definitely detuned, the manifold is even shaped differently. It wouldn’t be smart to have the v6 with the same hp as their ecoboost middle line, call a tuner up and they will tell you the same thing
Ford never made sense making a powerful v6 like this and then trying to make the car good on gas. Between the poor gear ratio and lack of strong parts to handle really fast speeds, this made no sense at all. This car should have come stock with GT parts and just lacking the engine type. This would have made it a perfect track car straight out of the gate
Haha that why my 2017 ford transit is fast, it’s come with a 6 speed auto does the stang has that Tran. It’s great as if Iam cruzing it shift fast and use the torque 3 gear at 25 mph that why Iam getting 20 mpg. The trick is to double tap the trottle to make it shift from first to 2 th at 10 mph iv got a eco mpg meter gage to watch.
Cause if they do that the aftermarket mods would come in and it’ll put more horsepower to the v6 and ppl would stop buying the gt when they could get the v6 with more power for half the price
alfonso Guerrero i think they will upgrade their other models like the GT and then bring the v6 back with the turbo. I think they will eventually bring the v6 back but with some hype after they upgrade the GT so it’s not competing with the v6
Jay Ochs I think they dropped the 3.7 in favor of the 4 cylinder because it is cheaper to manufacture. Plus the 3.7 comes with a forged crank whereas the 4 banger is cast, so power production will limit warranty issues. If you break a crank on the 4 banger Ford will know you were pushing the motor with too much boost etc but with the 3.7 you could easily push 500@ the crank without the motor blowing. I could see them dropping the 3.5 in the Stang in preference to a turbo 3.7 because the direct injection will limit fuel output and thereby limiting max power output. As far as I know nobody makes injector upgrades for the 3.5eb. I'm currently swapping a fwd edge 3.7 mated to an mt82 in my rx7. I think the fwd heads are the same as 3.5eb heads as they have uncut direct injection bungs and the 3.5 EB turbo manifolds look like they'll bolt up with some mild drilling and tapping.
Very intelligent logic! if anything thats exactly what they would do if not they would be fools to not bring the V6 back, i love the power from the Premos and Roush enegines
fact they discontinued the v6 because its the same exact base used in the ford gt just imagin if ppl found out why do you think you cant find any good mods its not in fords best intrest to have a cheaper mustang be faster then the v8 the 3.7 cyclone was over engineerd fact and how would i know because i have a ford gt block in my cyclone direct 3.5L V6 GTDI ENGINE check it out
I'm getting an automatic v6. Maybe. Going to test drive it first. But what years have the best automatic transmissions? I heard later on they switched to a cheaper unreliable Chinese variant with recall issues.
@@JosephOlson-ld2td it makes sense for you to believe Scotty Kilmer since he has a video, and I'm just typing. But it's very unbelievable since I actually worked on it. Could you please find a 3.7 Mustang to check it by yourself?
Hey i was just curious where did you get the information from about the 3.7 gaining 7 horsepower on 93 on a stock tune ? I beleive it , I've just never seen it anything on it.
3SevenStangVids I believe it and have not seen anything indicating it aswell .I have seen a few different specs on torque though most stating 280 and have have seen another sight stating 285
The computers add timing when I sees that it can. So I can see where it would pick up some ponies, when better gas was used. Even though I’m MPT tuned for 91, my S550 add in 5* @ wot.
Bama tuning did a video with american muscle where they showed benefits on 93 octane with the stock tune. It's a little hard to find but it's on RUclips, I saw it a week ago.
I just got a 2012 v6 with the performance package to be a cheap yet fun car while I save for a GT but it's been a very fun car to drive. The the upgraded suspension and brakes from the GT makes it handle pretty good on curvy roads
so... will my drive shaft blow up or not? 2013 3.7... Recommended change or can I keep it stock, delete the governor, and actually be okay hitting 135+ ?... Tired of this baby ass 113mph... -_-
These things truly are baby coyotes. They make retarded amounts of horsepower on low boost like 5/7 lbs makes 480/540+ hp to the wheels... Thats insanity! Auto mafia racing has all the proof you need about what i just said
Got the 3.7L v6 engine for my transit 350 van it's not fast lol.. has enough power to move the weight of the van and occupants while getting great MPGs rather then a v8 engine

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.
Of the three new cars I've owned, my dream combo would be the chassis / body / mechanicals of the FR-S, the interior / audio / controls of the Civic Si, and the 3.7 liter V6 and transmission of the Mustang.
Thanks for this long term review. Truly helpful. 🙏
6. The 3.7 Cyclone V6 is also used for the 2013-19 Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Police Interceptor Sedan (Taurus).
ATX-CVPI hence, it is reliable and durable!
And F150
Same yeah... But not so the same... Different trans bolt patern between fwd(awd) vs rwd.
And the 2013-2016 Lincoln MKZ
I think there is a sliwer variant in the mazda cx9 2010-2015 and it reaches 100km in 7 seconds,,, awesome for such a big car
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.
I just replaced my water pump today in my 2015 Mustang V6 and it wasn’t too bad. It’s sitting around 92,000 miles
2012 3.7 water pump is not internal
.starting in 2011 it is external
Rockauto 😉 the water pump is cheap stop by better so.e beer I'll swap it out
I have a 2012 V6 and just got my water pump replaced in Silver Spring, MD. Parts $267.53, labor $455. You can get cheaper if you can do the job yourself, but I'm not equipped to do it. I don't know what you mean by "internal to the engine"; it bolts onto the driver's side of the block, but is accessible externally.
According to what I've read, vehicles with the 3.7L V6 which have FRONT WHEEL DRIVE do have the internal water pump (it sits in the V, under the manifold). The rear wheel drive 3.7L V6, which is the mustangs, have a water pump that is bolted onto the outside of the engine. It has to do with whether the engine and transmission is mounted laterally, or longitudinally.
I love my 2015. I’m going to drive it till it blows up
Me too :)
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 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
Same boat here , kind of lol , I’m lucky number 2 and I’m hoping I’m the last one , I’ve been well over 3k in modifications In this car and I’ve only had it since December of 2021, I plan on putting way more into it then paying it off , once I pay it off ,I’m gutting the interior and throwing some radials on her and making it a full time drag strip car , once it’s paid off I’m getting my dream truck , a 2022 Nissan Frontier pro 4x
I don’t have a stang but a 3.7L f-150 and it’s great, sounds beautiful, moves pretty quick and is a super smooth drive!
I have a 2014 3.7 and I love it, it's modded pretty well also
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 recently bought an F150 with this same engine. I expected it to be a little wheezer of a V6, but didn't really care because I just needed a basic truck. I was amazed with how powerful it is.
Same here. I have it in my 2013 F150. And it's the basic xl 8ft bed. No power windows and all. Only thing I added was the factory cruise control. Activated it in FORSCAN.
@@tward6630 Do you need to get the steering wheel with the right buttons for that to work? I have a basic XL longbed myself.
@@Oddman1980 what I did is disconnect the battery, remove the horn/airbag. Then swap out the switch with one that has the cruise button. Then hooked up to the OBD with an MS/HS Switch equipped cable, then go in and activate the Cruise Control and Speed Control. There are a few other things that the XL is wired for that the XLT comes with. I think Fog lights may be one of them too. You can also program keys with the FORSCAN too. My truck came with one key. I now have 4 of them. Paid about 10 bucks per blank key.
@@tward6630 I enabled the cruise control on my F150 a few weeks ago, it was literally as easy as you say.
They dropped the HP because of the manifold change to make it fit under the newly redesigned lower hood...
I had a 3.7 in my F-150!! I loved that engine!!
I keep seeing the Ecoboost Mustangs setting on car lots at the dealership because no one wants to buy them mostly because there a 4 cylinder it doesn’t matter about the Hsp with there twin turbos they still are and sound like a 4 cylinder. I was at the Ford dealership a few days ago and the sales man said no one wants to buy them they want the V8 but some wished Ford would still have the 3.7 I told him that Ford will find out they made a mistake and the 3.7 will come back and probably with a twin turbo package, I hope they do. The new Ecoboost prices are the same as a GT Mustang so the only people buying the Ecoboost is for the fuel economy but the ones who want a Muscle Car they go for the GT basic V8 or all out for the GT Premium V8 which I seen a 2018 And Ford Dealership wanted $50,000 for it but it was NICE
BAD KARMA there prices are not near each other it’s over 5 grand of difference when you include the taxes .
At my dealership the ecoboost are 10 to 15 to thousand cheaper and actually we almost never have the ecoboost at my dealership because they sell out so quickly
Ecoboost mustangs sold better than v6 versions..thus why they dropped the v6 model. They are cheaper and thus sell more.
They’re not even cheaper dude, wtf are you talking about they’re were 3k more and and they discontinued the v6 bc it was cheaper MAKE the ecoboost while jacking the price up , and the ecoboost and gt were the only models that offered packages, only one for the v6 and it offered fog lights and wheels , don’t talk out of your ass just bc you think it sounds smart
What are you talking about? You have no idea! I have both ecoboost and V6 and let me tell you, the ecoboost smokes the shit out of the V6.
Had a 3.7 in the past, now I have a 5.0 convertible GT and despite them being based on the same platform it's incredible how differently they drive. Obviously having the V8 is going to give it more horsepower, but between that and the added weight of the convertible it's just such a different experience. I would actually be really interested in getting a another 3.7 hardtop, as the autocross car in throw as many Boss 302 Parts that it is possible, kinda you know making into a boss 225/226.
My 3 favorite naturally aspirated V6 engines- Ford 3.7 Cyclone, Nissan/Infiniti VQ35HR, and the Lexus 2GR-FSE
I read about the carbon buildup problems with the Ecoboost so going with a V6 was a no brainer for me. I didn't know you could put higher octane gas for an easy performance boost. Love my 2015 V6 Stang!
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.
Be sure to get a premium model, beautiful interior and dashboard
@@simeon8327 thanks for the advice. I'll look into it
OH YEEAAAAAAAH!
Yeah you won't regret it.100%.
That would be a mistake. Ecoboost is faster than V6. I have both
Btw its probably not a good idea to advise people to go to 155 on a stock driveshaft, I've been around these cars for years, they will have trouble over 135 and even worse with 3.73's or 4.10's
American muscle did a baseline a while back ago with the dyno graph and everything but I’m not quite sure if the video is still out there unfortunately it seems like it’s made up to some people, but I agree I wouldn’t recommend 155 but can achieve it without the explosion of the stock one, I wouldn’t drive too aggressive with the stock one at high speeds
It’s crazy how all the Middle East cars didn’t come with the limiter and some how made it to 155 fine.
3SevenStangVids This was a nice class project for communications class, OMG STOP BUSTIN HIS BALLS.
Fire Ball HAAGGWALLLAAAA!
SamStang Could I go over 140mph with a one piece aluminum driveshaft?
Ya, the 3.7 is a Duratec engine that was really a placement for the f-150 before it went Eco...it didnt work...WTF ford. Its a great engine.
Sorry, but the drive shaft info you gave is incorrect. The first "11-12" drive shaft pic you shared is actually a GT drive shaft. The next picture you shared is the DS you get in 11-14 cars. They are all the same, I've worked one all year 3.7s before.
Also the pic you shared in 1:57 isn't a 3.7, thats a 3.5L ecoboost. the next pic you shared is a cyclone tho
J Blume somebody already corrected me but thank you
There is only a 5 hp difference from 11-14 to the 15 and up 3.7’s (305 vs 300), this was mostly a marketing gimmick by Ford to sell more 4 cylinder ecoboosts because Ford knew they were dropping the v6, as you mentioned the 3.7 makes more hp with 93 octane, the ecoboost was marketed with 310 hp based and 320 tq off 93 octane, that same car only makes 275 hp on 87 and 300 tq, so the v6 even in 15’ with 87 octane outperforms the ecoboost and most people don’t exclusively use 93 like myself. Huge difference there and that’s why I agree the v6 was a better car for the base and more reliable. It will be back most likely in the form of a 2.7 Ecoboost it’s just a matter of time
The 305 hp rating is on 93, ford even says so in all their literature, but yes the 5hp drop was a slight change in the intakes and maybe a slight change in tuning plus, as you say they wanted the 4banger eco to become more popular to meet the stiffer EPA fuel mileage average requirements, thus the 3 cyl eco engine in the focus and fiesta etc, trying to boost overall average of fuel economy!
@@pepsiman2156 I'm pretty sure all horsepower figures and mile per a gallon test s are ran on 93 for all cars
Please do a video on the 3.8 v6 on the older mustangs
1: my v6 isn’t slow
2: I’ve hit over 130 multiple time and I’ve had no ejecto seato action from my shaft
Driveshaft info is incorrect....11-14 have the same
Ok saw the correction in the description
good stuff... factual and helpful. Appreciate the straightforward facts!
My son has a 2011 and my daughter a 2013. These cars are not all that fast for having 300+HP. They need at least 3.42 gears that would really wake them up. 3.73 probably too much but I'd bet 3.42 would be great.
How fast are they stock?
I went with 4.10 gears
@@javeantedemonz4206 no idea how fast stock but I have an 02 V6 firebird 200hp and 342s and it's comparable. We also used to have a 2010 V6 mustang and honestly it seemed quicker. Whatever these have its way to tall.
@@Tradbow85 I'll bet that really woke it up. If yours has the six speed auto, how are the rpms at highway speed?
@@Tradbow85 someday I'd like to put 410s in my v6 firebird. The housing would need a little grinding from what I've read. I have hp tuners and it's very easy to set that up. Highway would increase rpms by about 400 so not a big deal. One of many priorities that outnumber available funds. Even now it's pretty good with 342s but it could use some help.
I have a feelin that ford had a plan to make the 4cyl to take place of the v6...since there very close to hp...also,to have more people buy the 5.0s,since that would be the only step up..😶🤨
i've gone 145 mph in my stock 2014 v6, with the speed limiter off of course lol
My car use to go 140 but after switching keys it seemed to stop going over 120 and there’s no my key active
How do u turn it off
@@gerardomartinez5641 with a tuner
Was that with the stock driveshaft, or the aftermarket aluminum?? I am thinking about getting a 2014 3.7 V6 convertible, but the 120mph or whatever limiter is garbage, for a car that should have no trouble hitting at least 140 to 150mph every now and then traffic and road conditions permitting, with the correct rated tires. V speed rating I think. H is 130 mph rated. The video of the driveshaft explosion makes my nervous and if need be I will get the aluminum driveshaft. Would love your input.
@@Sparky-ww5re it was the stock drive shaft but I didn’t want to push it any further knowing it could possibly blow up haha
#6 (not mentioned), 3.7L was originally designed by Mazda in Japan back in 2007, requested by Ford, to replace its old 4.2L found in 1997-2008 F-150 trucks.
Your right but in the Ford vechicle that engine is not the same internally .I don't know the break up of the differences but it does not have the same power from the cx9 to the Ford edge sport or into the mustang there are many differences Ford had a partnership with Mazda they split and Ford built on the 3.7 to make it an extra special engine .
It basically the same engine found in the first generation Mazda 6 v6 with larger bore
@@rdeh1678 yeah its really the continuation of the duratec 2.5/3.0 although it has a different bolt pattern
@@GoldenDeer-ox3po you're all wrong.. the Cyclone is a completely different engine family to the old Duratec 2.5/3.0 used in older Taurus', contours, fusions, and mazda 6's etc. also the 3.7 or 3.0 was never designed by mazda simply used by mazda. only difference is the mazda version was built in japan and only had slight differences (hardly worth mentioning) to be used in Mazda vehicles (like the CX-9). otherwise, they're exactly the same as any other FWD ford equipped 3.7.
I don’t know if you still have this pony, but she’s beautiful
You’ve got some catching up to do.
2014 here. Best price/quality ratio in every way… with some luck I can get 39 MPG
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.
Saw an interview with a Ford guy over in Germany, who said that Ford dropped the V6 in favor of the POS eco boost to attract the European market. He laughed when he revealed that the European buyers went 80% for the V8. I was going to buy the IRS V6 when it came out, but Ford, in it's infinite wisdom, decided to "rental fleet" the car, and stripped off nearly every performance/brake upgrade. So I passed and bought a Charger instead.
I wish they’d bring the 3.7 back in 2022
2014 Mazda CX-
That v6 is no joke
yea i bet when ford brings the v6 back it will be a ecoboost. then the mustang L4 ecoboost will drop in sales. because think about it ford wouldnt have released a ecoboost v6 because it would kill the GT market some so they are trying to make the mustang gt modales more powerful until they start to think of releasing a v6 ecoboost mustang.
zebulon new that’s clever thinking! I think you’re on to something
IKR! that would be awesome shit if they did that, i might trade my 2014 Mustang CS V6 Premo for one of them, not sure tho love the Premium ed.
@@georgebernard9526 4 Cylinder 310hp

If they were smart... they would run it like this for numbers.
2014 V6 with Mods I love it
I just got a 2012 v6
I was told it had 305 horsepower.
I can get a couple more horses just using 93?
This was a very informative video!
I have this engine on my F150. They weren't kidding when they say it can scream at insanely high RPM. I'll get a misfire when the engine is cold. Probably because I have to replace spark plugs and one of the coil might be bad.
It's not a V8 but that shouldn't take anything away from this engine it's reliable and if you take your time to build it they are scary sleepers and even stock they are good enough to have some fun I myself have a drop top 14 with the V6 and a 2020 GT and I enjoy driving my V6 more especially during the late and early summer.
15 and up is also heavier to that might be the reason why it's slower also
I have the 3.8l v6, year 2000 model
After about $1300 in parts, it will out run most cars and V8s.. I bought it for $2300 leaving the total for my car at $3600ish.. For the price you can't go that fast for that cheap... people spend 10X as much to still get dusted by me
What parts did u put ?
Thanks for a informative and to the point video.👍
I love my 2015. I wish they would put the 3.7 in the Bronco. I’m not a fan of turbos and I doubt the V8 would fit.
R.I.P SIMEON STANG LONG LIVE THE GOAT 🐐🙌🙌
He die?
I have the 3.7 liter in my all-new #Lincoln #Continental.. It moves quick
I would take a 3.7 over an Ecoboost. The 6 sounds better. Remember when early 90s V8 made 140hp. Now a 2.4T make 300hp!
Early 80s was 140, early 90s 225
That was because of the government regulations concerning emissions and fuel economy which lasted from the 70s energy crises well into the 80s and even the 90s. My first vehicle, a 1993 Ford Ranger, 2WD, 5 speed manual 4 cylinder, had the 85 mph speedo with the 55mph mark highlighted. Made a good conversation piece, for the younger generation who is used to seeing 120, 140 and 160 mph speedo. For those younger folks wondering about the 85 mph speedo, that was also a Federal regulation, in an attempt to get drivers to slow down and conserve fuel, during the energy crisis, gas lines and stagflation of the 70s
Only thing i didnt know was the 93 octane getting 7 more horsepower n they droped it with the foxbody great stuff man!
I dont know how true the 7 more hp using 93 octane is man..
Champion 138 it’s pretty darn true, there’s a video of it out there , dyno proven
@@simeon8327 so 93 octane gives 7+hp and putting any other gives nothing? And what is the video called i want to watch it please
It’s some American muscle video out there, but the reason behind it is Bc the car was supposed to be a fuel economy/power, so the hp and torque numbers presented to public were for 87 octane, however the fuel maps are adaptive and are mapped for 87,89, and 93, the car will advance timing when it reads a higher octane, it’s nothing crazy that you’ll actually feel and you’ll still be better off with a tune, but it’s neat that it’s there
@@simeon8327 very nice thankyou for explaining 👌
I always use higher octane gasoline in my V6.
Any difference ?
@@AntonioHack I believe it burns cleaner, less maintenance on your motor.
Where did you find these cool videos of the engine? So interesting!
I just bought a 2014 3.7l instead of a newer 2017. I have drove both. Im getting around 28mpg and still have power when i want it..
I got a 2017 Mustang V-6 AT; I get 22mpg around town and 25 combined. The car hits 100 mph like no one's business.
Bought my v6 with 56k miles now it has 113k miles and you can’t tell a difference. I don’t even change my oil or check any fluids or temps and I redline the car when it’s cold.
I have the 2017 v6 3.7 graber blue mustang it ran me pretty good but found my engine leaking when I bought the car it ran good while leaking like nothing was wrong and it wasn't till a oil change walmart did messed up my engine I felt like what ever was leaking wasn't even a issue cut the mufflers and cats and left the resignator on cut the cats off sounds like a screaming rasp viper I'm getting another engine now but I'm hoping my exhaust wasn't the issue on why my check engine light came on but it did hopefully the new engine removes it and I can get rid of the rasp with an x pipe or get new tips I like being creative with my batmobile teardrop
They did not D tune it. It's switch categories from sports car to economy car. At which point the testing along with the dyno testing is done with 87 octane instead of 93. If you take a stock 2015 to 2017 V6 and only change the fuel to 93 octane and dyno test it, it will make 305 to 310. Depending.
It was always an economy car, it’s even stated in the manual that, that was always the focus. The engines will BOTH fluctuate with higher octane, but it’s definitely detuned, the manifold is even shaped differently. It wouldn’t be smart to have the v6 with the same hp as their ecoboost middle line, call a tuner up and they will tell you the same thing
Ford never made sense making a powerful v6 like this and then trying to make the car good on gas. Between the poor gear ratio and lack of strong parts to handle really fast speeds, this made no sense at all. This car should have come stock with GT parts and just lacking the engine type. This would have made it a perfect track car straight out of the gate
How do you burn out your 3.7? , my mustang doesn’t rev more than 2000 RPM
Holy shit another Simeon . Thought I was the only one lol
V6 is gonna come back as a 3.0 twin turbo ecoboost (stroked version of the 2.7 ecoboost). Might compete with the next Nissan Z car
Jordan Cortina the new Z will have the same engine as the Q50 redsport. Thats a 3.0TT 400hp v6, and it will make more hp in the z car
Jordan Cortina yeah for now, as competition gets faster so will the ecoboost and Ford will drop the v6 ecoboost in the mustang.
Uhh the 370z pulls on the mustang v6
JScyclone_3.7 It does
The Lincoln 3.0 ecoboost? That would be cool
Haha that why my 2017 ford transit is fast, it’s come with a 6 speed auto does the stang has that Tran. It’s great as if Iam cruzing it shift fast and use the torque 3 gear at 25 mph that why Iam getting 20 mpg. The trick is to double tap the trottle to make it shift from first to 2 th at 10 mph iv got a eco mpg meter gage to watch.
I have a 2013 f150 with the 3.7L with a tune and with 360k miles it still gaps the mustang on 93
I thing Ford will come back with a v6 twin turbo that will replace the 5.0 V8. Like what happend in the f150 raptor and the expedition
Thanks Sam appreciate your videos
Thank you, call me simeon
I drive a nice 2011 v6 and it's nice
I bet the v6 will come back but with a turbo
i mean ffs, why do that ecoboost 4 bullshit when the 3.5 twin turbo in the explorer gets like 365hp? so stupid to drop the v6 for a 4 cylinder.
Cause if they do that the aftermarket mods would come in and it’ll put more horsepower to the v6 and ppl would stop buying the gt when they could get the v6 with more power for half the price
alfonso Guerrero i think they will upgrade their other models like the GT and then bring the v6 back with the turbo. I think they will eventually bring the v6 back but with some hype after they upgrade the GT so it’s not competing with the v6
Jay Ochs I think they dropped the 3.7 in favor of the 4 cylinder because it is cheaper to manufacture. Plus the 3.7 comes with a forged crank whereas the 4 banger is cast, so power production will limit warranty issues. If you break a crank on the 4 banger Ford will know you were pushing the motor with too much boost etc but with the 3.7 you could easily push 500@ the crank without the motor blowing. I could see them dropping the 3.5 in the Stang in preference to a turbo 3.7 because the direct injection will limit fuel output and thereby limiting max power output. As far as I know nobody makes injector upgrades for the 3.5eb. I'm currently swapping a fwd edge 3.7 mated to an mt82 in my rx7. I think the fwd heads are the same as 3.5eb heads as they have uncut direct injection bungs and the 3.5 EB turbo manifolds look like they'll bolt up with some mild drilling and tapping.
Very intelligent logic! if anything thats exactly what they would do if not they would be fools to not bring the V6 back, i love the power from the Premos and Roush enegines
5 hp isn’t really going to be that much of a difference. It really came downs to the increase weight of the vehicle.
I have the 2016 'Tang - I did 160 mph on 1-95, no problem
fact they discontinued the v6 because its the same exact base used in the ford gt just imagin if ppl found out why do you think you cant find any good mods its not in fords best intrest to have a cheaper mustang be faster then the v8 the 3.7 cyclone was over engineerd fact and how would i know because i have a ford gt block in my cyclone direct 3.5L V6 GTDI ENGINE check it out
I'm getting an automatic v6. Maybe. Going to test drive it first. But what years have the best automatic transmissions? I heard later on they switched to a cheaper unreliable Chinese variant with recall issues.
Mt82(manual) is chinese made. The current 10r80(automatic) is made in U.S.A. the previous generation had tr6060 which was made in france
Tr6060 for 2007 - 2017 mustangs

I want the 3.7 not the v8 or the ecoshit
Hey i was just curious where did you get the information from about the 3.7 gaining 7 horsepower on 93 on a stock tune ? I beleive it , I've just never seen it anything on it.
3SevenStangVids I believe it and have not seen anything indicating it aswell .I have seen a few different specs on torque though most stating 280 and have have seen another sight stating 285
The computers add timing when I sees that it can. So I can see where it would pick up some ponies, when better gas was used. Even though I’m MPT tuned for 91, my S550 add in 5* @ wot.
Bama tuning did a video with american muscle where they showed benefits on 93 octane with the stock tune. It's a little hard to find but it's on RUclips, I saw it a week ago.
Paul D. What is stock tune ?
Faig Masimov the factory tune is the stock tune. So from the factory, just putting 93 octane in adds about 8 rwhp = 10 hp at the engine
Those HP numbers are from the crank
Love my Twin Turbo Coyote might get a V6 as a beater though ..................Maybe
You said they removed the v6 in 2018 twice
Probably
The 3.7L is a Mazda derived MZI engine. end of video
Sababa Hummus that’s why I love it so much
The 3.7 is the same motor as the 3.5 ecoboost. It’s a ford motor. Duratec was the name back in the day
I just got a 2012 v6 with the performance package to be a cheap yet fun car while I save for a GT but it's been a very fun car to drive. The the upgraded suspension and brakes from the GT makes it handle pretty good on curvy roads
I’ve probably race 75 cars and lost 5 due to cars clearly out of my league,….im bone stock, well , a like exhaust work😉

SamStang I need to try it again in tijuana 🇲🇽
mmagnetic2016 mustang I guarantee you, you’re stable Bc ford raised the speed limiter on the S550 as well
SamStang I’m definitely going to try it
Just subbed all us smaller channels should unite lol
Id take a V6 stang over a V6 challenger anyday..
so... will my drive shaft blow up or not? 2013 3.7... Recommended change or can I keep it stock, delete the governor, and actually be okay hitting 135+ ?... Tired of this baby ass 113mph... -_-
Debatable apparently but I have a video on my channel about this check it out and judge for yourself
These things truly are baby coyotes. They make retarded amounts of horsepower on low boost like 5/7 lbs makes 480/540+ hp to the wheels... Thats insanity! Auto mafia racing has all the proof you need about what i just said
My 2014 v6 manual turns 1550 rpm at 65 mph in 6th gear, on cruise control, I get 32 mpg.
Discontinuations and manufacturing flaws piss me off.
How do you change the fuel filter for 2012 mustang ,v6? It is i side the fuel tank. Please help.
Would a 4.0 2010 transmission fit in a 4.0 2006 both mustang autos
It the same motor and transmission a v6 05/ from a 2010 v6 is the same motor
Got the 3.7L v6 engine for my transit 350 van it's not fast lol.. has enough power to move the weight of the van and occupants while getting great MPGs rather then a v8 engine
In Europe the transit 350 can come with a 120 hp i4 diesel so could be worse
Rest In Peace
Still prefer V6 over 4cyl ecoboost. The ecoboost engine sounds good, but unraspy enough just like V6 and V8.
So I can use 89 or 93 gas on my v6 base model?
yes
