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

My V6 is not slow.

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 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.

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

I had a 3.7 in my F-150!! I loved that engine!!

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 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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

Driveshaft info is incorrect....11-14 have the same

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

Please do a video on the 3.8 v6 on the older mustangs

I just got a 2012 v6 I was told it had 305 horsepower. I can get a couple more horses just using 93?

i've gone 145 mph in my stock 2014 v6, with the speed limiter off of course lol

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 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..😶🤨

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

2014 here. Best price/quality ratio in every way… with some luck I can get 39 MPG

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

#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.

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.

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.

I wish they’d bring the 3.7 back in 2022

How do you burn out your 3.7? , my mustang doesn’t rev more than 2000 RPM

I don’t know if you still have this pony, but she’s beautiful

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.

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.

This was a very informative video!

15 and up is also heavier to that might be the reason why it's slower also

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..

Thanks for a informative and to the point video.👍

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.

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.

2014 Mazda CX- That v6 is no joke

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 always use higher octane gasoline in my V6.

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!

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

Where did you find these cool videos of the engine? So interesting!

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

Please guide me on fuel pressure for 2012 mustang v6. Thank you!!

I have the 3.7 liter in my all-new #Lincoln #Continental.. It moves quick

How do you change the fuel filter for 2012 mustang ,v6? It is i side the fuel tank. Please help.

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.

Id take a V6 stang over a V6 challenger anyday..

Only thing i didnt know was the 93 octane getting 7 more horsepower n they droped it with the foxbody great stuff man!

Those HP numbers are from the crank

2014 V6 with Mods I love it

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 bet the v6 will come back but with a turbo

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.

I have the 2016 'Tang - I did 160 mph on 1-95, no problem

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.

So I can use 89 or 93 gas on my v6 base model?

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.

Holy shit another Simeon . Thought I was the only one lol

I want the 3.7 not the v8 or the ecoshit

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.

Thanks Sam appreciate your videos

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

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

I’ve gone 120 ish but feels sketchy asf

Welp now I know my 2012 is gonna blow up

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.

R.I.P SIMEON STANG LONG LIVE THE GOAT 🐐🙌🙌

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😉

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... -_-

I have no idea if you or anyone is going to respond, but I have the same motor in my Mazda CX-9. Would the 93 octane see gains in my car? (Completely stock) If so, how much. And also, since it’s the same motor, i should be able to load a mustang tune onto it and be fine, right? I’m more knowledgeable to older pushrod engines before all this fancy computer stuff.

Would a 4.0 2010 transmission fit in a 4.0 2006 both mustang autos

You said they removed the v6 in 2018 twice

My 2014 v6 manual turns 1550 rpm at 65 mph in 6th gear, on cruise control, I get 32 mpg.

looking for a swap kit. Do you know any company that can toss one of these in an sn95

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

Good info 👍🏾

Discontinuations and manufacturing flaws piss me off.

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

I drive a nice 2011 v6 and it's nice

Thank you bro

Love my Twin Turbo Coyote might get a V6 as a beater though ..................Maybe

Even 4.0s are good v6s.

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

Is a 2016 3.7L V6 Lincoln MKZ safe to procharge?

I need some help on 2016 mustang reliability!

Ford dropped this engine because it was too good. 😢
