It's worth it and you'll get most of that back when it comes time to trade it in. Same with the performance pack and 401A package. Also regarding the 401A, you can only get it on a premium so if you're going Premium absolutely get it, for the option cost it's a steal and gives you the digital gauges, navi, dynamic cruise control, and improved interior. Aftermarket the digital gauge cluster alone is $2000+.

Dude, you were so informative and helpful you get a subscribe. Will definitely be back for more late night mustang fix!

Well said. My thought process is the same. If going used, get the highest trim level you can. New, the base GT or 1SS is just fine.

Spot on! This video helped me decide to get a used gt premium. Thanks

I have a 2018 GT. And I really appreciate you going over all this bro. Thank you.

Thanks bro very informative. I definitely needed this talk before I go down to dealership. (New sub )

Thank you for your honesty, brother. I purchased a 2019 GT-p, I'm not really sure I need all of the onboard gadgets. Generally not a leather person, but NOW I have a canine copilot and clean ups are a matter of a simple vacuuming. The digital cluster is nice as well as many other purchased options, but I just don't know if I'd purchase new again...

I bought my car used so the premium was a good value.

I love my 2015 premium GT lol I get to cool my butt and heat it . Plus dual zone climate control was a must since I love the AC and my fiancé loves having the heater on.

I went with a loaded (401A) 2017 GT with 4000 miles over a base 2018 GT for the same price. I like all the extra options and its my daily driver. I don't care about weight and quarter mile times. I like the heated and cooled seats and XM radio. That's just me though, we all like different things

Very informative. I just bought a 2016 GT premium/performance a couple of weeks ago. I love that damn car! I had no idea there were nine speakers. Great stuff. I'm subscribing.

Glad you’re posting again! I have my 2015 gt base model, and I’ve loved every second of it. It’s only recently that I’ve been wondering if I should’ve got the premium, but in my opinion not worth it. My buddy’s got one and I feel like I’m not missing out. You get over all the nice features and it all goes back to the way the car drives.

That was a BAD ASS intro! 👍🔥🔥

2019 mustang gt comes with a drag mode, I believe, that sends it from 0-60 in like 3.8 seconds. If you’re into 0-60 times, that’s worth a look too.

But mine has blind spot monitoring? I thought all premiums have it? Mine doesn’t have the blind spot mirror because of it. And I also have the memory seats

Great video Very informative

Liked your review. I'm in that situation right now regarding base vs performance. I wanted automatic (at least your wife ok'd the stick). I also wanted active exhaust, Magne-Ride Damping, all driver assistance systems. Also toying with the B/O 10 speaker HD Radio. Some of our most memorable arguments over 50 years of marriage, has been over adjusting the thermostat. She's tiny (4'11"), and is ALWAYS cold. I'm just the opposite. So, you know how that goes (I walk around the house in just a pair of shorts). If you look around, this car is pretty well priced either way, and there's always stuff you get that you don't really want when you start buying packages. What do you think of the Shaker system vs B/O? Also, does the active exhaust really make an auditory difference? Other than the black, did you consider any other color, blackout kits, striping, etc.?

I think the premium is 4k and you can get a package (300A or 400A?) to get the larger touchscreen and toggle switches on a base car for 2k.

well explained..thank you so much!!👏✌

Here in 2021 looking for a used 5.0 Sport pack! thanks for the info bro!

I think I want the cloth seat bc they are more comfortable and what I like but I do want the touch screen and the driving mode switches, the interior lights as well are nice. Does all that come with it if you get the 301A package on the base? basically like a premium but with cloth seats instead of leather?

What wheels are those? And what size?

I got the base model and I don’t regret it I do plan on upgrading to the sync 3 though

Love the video I'm in the market for an either 2015 16 or 2017. I think I read the 2015 had engine issues. Is that true. Whi h of those years do u recommend? Any issues with the 2016?

What wheels are those?

Which one is it that comes w the active exhaust option ? And which one can you use for the active aftermarket exhaust ?

I remember my first time learning to say "Premium"..... awesome video man.

Very informative video.. thanks bro

Thank you. This is exactly the kind of video I have been looking for. I’m going to get a 2016-2017 GT, best thing in Sweden is that all GT here come with the premium package.

Yo bro I just got my Mustang on the dash it’s states truck only what does that mean?

2016 is the only year with signals in the hood vents

So mine has an android screen that takes up the whole center basically. My mode button switches the music mode from aux, radio , whatever. Should it be doing that. And mine doesn’t have leather seats

What song is at the beginning??

Do the new-er mustangs have a weak transmission? Many videos point out the fact that the manual version has an older and weak transmission.

Your comment about the $5k difference between the base and premium trims made me curious so I just looked. The Ecoboost models are right at $5k difference between the base and premium trims. The GT's are only $4k difference, so get the V8 if you want the premium trim! ;-) I bought a 2016 GT convertible used. Obviously, that's automatically a premium trim but I would have opted for the premium anyway. I really like the Sync 3 interface, larger touch screen, etc. Plus there are certain other option packages I really wanted that are only available on the premium trims. I totally agree with you about the seats. Given the option, I would have picked the cloth seats. The leather is ok, but not great in my opinion. Also, given the option, Ford can keep that fully automatic AC. Again, it's ok for the most part but I'd rather just have the manual AC. In the long run, it's a lot less "stuff" to go wrong and sometimes, it seems to get confused as to when it needs to blend heat. My other car is a 2013 Toyota Rav4. It also has a fully automatic AC system but it's head and shoulders better than what's in my Mustang.

Do you get a heads up display with these?

can you buy a base GT and add the performance package just for the improved driving dynamics?

What year is are these cars? Appear to be 2017 or older

What rims are those?

I’m a rookie with mustangs! Is there any engine difference between gt 5.0 and s550 or its same?

Finally somebody who drives the cayote like its supposed to be driven. Im trying to decide between the premium and performance pack. And if its worth it.

Great video, I love my 2016 GT /CS premium ~ tastefully moded 🇺🇸💪👀👍👌🙌

what year was that mustang ?

What does the mustang gt 2015 premium 2rd fastback mean

You’re a helpful guy

Great video

Good call bro. Nice video im going for a base GT

Man I know I'm late but this just popped up in my feed. Had to check the garage when you said borla atak driving a premium.....that's what I have lol 😂 I like the premium options but it's up to the buyer like you said. Great video too. Noone shows the differences too well until now

Did you skip the part about the interior lighting? I didn't see it.

New owner of a 2015 V6 here. I window-shopped for a year and didn’t consider buying a base model until later in the game when I realized that I could add on the things I wanted in the premium models for less money and actually tailor it to my tastes. Now, that differs from person to person and I realize that we’re comparing a GT to a V6. Still, I love this video and the thought process.

@brothersonwheels have you drove a Genesis coupe 3.8

Could be wrong but I thought the premium (especially with the performance package) got beefier brakes and suspension, a strut tower brace, and a sport exhaust. And in the autos it also got a more aggressively geared transmission.

Bought a 2015 mustang gt black on black with some performance package on it. It has the bar over the engine bay, gauge cluster over the radio, upgraded brake system and larger radiator. Doesn't have the shaker system, one speaker per door, no subwoofer and only 6 speakers. Have been saving money trying to find the right one for a while so I went with this one for 28,500 cash. Certified used car from the dealership so I thought this was a good buy. Had to make a trip to Plano, Tx. with a buddy though to go pick it up, which is about 8 hours away one way from where I live. Work at a shitty job that don't pay enough so saving money is very hard especially with this economy right now. After researching a lot of mustang gt's online, there's something wrong with it if its under 25 g's. It either has too much mileage on it, or it has a salvage or rebuilt title, 2 things which I tried to avoid. Also if gt had been owned by 3 or more different people that's a negative according to a salesman I talked to. Don't really know why but that's what he told me. Anyway thanks for the video, gave u thumbs up.

i was planning on modding the hell out of my mustang from performance parts to visual parts so a premium or pp1 or pp2 wasn't an option for me i wanted to make it unique. apart from every other mustang you see in every corner .

Very right about buying a premium used vs new.

The fully loaded optioned out Premium Mustang GT is insane. Just feels so high quality compared to the base with cloth seats and that annoying small screen with no switches.

A Houstonian! I’m currently in the Museum District!

2016 base GT W/ 4:55 rear gears / Borla ATAK 3'' cat-back ! Sounds great , loud when you want & quiet below 4k rpm's .! I'm happy i went with the base , less to go wrong & I can mod the car as I want too.... !

I also don’t see the sway bar under the hood, the Brembro brakes. Mine has all of those? Also does yours have the sub woofer in the trunk? 🤔

I LOVE the look of your car, except the flags are backwards on both sides and it drives me crazy!

I just bought a 2017 5.0 auto and love it!

Good job of explaining the differences appreciate it because I'm starting to look for another Mustang and was wondering if it's worth it. So anyway thank you sir & Have a Merry Christmas to you and ur's 🇺🇸 MERICA

Grand parkway?

Got my 2017 GT Premium with Performance Pack and 401A with Ruby Red paint and Painted Black Roof for $30,000 with only 5,500 miles. The previous owner also had the $1600 Ford performance by Borla cat back installed. Only issue is now I have a super loud tick that increases with RPM like the so called 2k rattle, embarrassingly loud so I brought it to the dealer and the tech says the noise seems to go away when he deactivates cylinder #3 so now they want it for "a few weeks" on November 25th..... here we go.

Post your wheel specs they look awesome

I got a 2022 GT premium and did not know there was a premiumest with magniride suspension, heated steering wheel, memory seats, digital dash, PP premium option with oil pressure and vacuum gauges, bigger radiator, upgraded sway bars, etc. Apparently my premium is not premium enough lol. I think if I did it over I would have gotten a Mach 1 with 6 speed Tremec PP (if optioned) fully loaded premium.

I bought a base put steeda suspension and sway bars and updated the radio to the 8 inch easy

Do all premiums come with forward collision detection and blind spot monitoring? Or is that a separate option

Im with you bro i have a 2016 race red with just the black accent package only. You buy a Mustang for performance not luxury.

Mine is a base model 2019 it does not have wing on the back or anything the in side has not buttons on it analog speedo

This video makes me miss my 15 ecoboost premium. I had just about everything on it except gps and the performance package. Really great car. As far as I know, the mustang is the only one, one of the only cars, with heated and cooled seats. Others might have ventilated seats, but not cooled seats. Always felt like I was sitting in a cold puddle though, lol. I love leather seats. Get them in any car I have. I build up a stupid amount of static electricity, especially in the winter, and for whatever reason, leather seats don’t do that for me. Wish I could’ve kept that car. 😩 Whoever bought it definitely got a good deal. What’s your thoughts about the rotary gear shifter? I’m not a fan of them at all.

I have a premium 16 GT with the perf pack. And i do not have heated mirrors lol. At least i dont think i do. How can you tell?

1.36sec you do a pull and just pop her in neutral, no shade just isn’t that bad for the car?

Hey the American flag decal , where did you find those?

How do you get the coyote badges ? Those look way better

I’m about to buy a 2018 gt pp. I hate leather as I live in Vegas and it’s 100 degrees half the year. The only thing I wish they offered was cloth with the 8” screen but it’s pretty easy to swap it for 3-500$. Along with upgrading the sound

I have a 2016 5.0 PP2 Package and my electronic display makes your display look like a "PONG" game back in the day. WTH? You got ripped off.. Other than an that, most everything is the same. Here in hot-ass So-Cal I use the A/C seat on my driver's side while I use the heated seat on the passenger side when picking up In-n-Out! Glad to hear you have the 3.73 gears though. I'm a total advocate of that gear. However, with my automatic, I'd get at least a .5 second jump on your manual. Big Smiles, but Kudos none-the-less.

My lil brother’s 2019 Ecoboost premium came with the digital dash

I have an EcoBoost premium. I really enjoy all the extras that come with the premium option especially the large touch screen that works with Android Auto.

The biggest difference is that the PP1 and PP2's come with 373 Gears which will rip the 355's that the Base comes with.. If you are getting a manual it automatically comes PP1 because the manual Benefits Greatly from the 373's over the 355's.. If you have the 10 speed then you will want the 355's more than likely.. The 373 manual will rip a 355 manual in a quarter mile also the PP1 and PP2's come with beefier sway bars struts, strut brace, and staggered wheels.. I could care less about the tech, I'm old.. LOL. Anyway great video...

I have a 17 401a with everything that I bought brand new, I didn't think I needed all those options but they sure are nice as a daily driver and fifty miles back and fourth to work

Does a base have sport and track mode?

I went with a 19 gt with the pp2 with non of the premium interior stuff. I never used the luxury stuff in my challenger so they were a waste for me.

SICK RIMS

Wheels between base and pp1 or pp2 are different and in the manual seats i can't lower the seats as much asmin the electric seats

Getting my first gt next year. Should I get a premium 2017 GT or a base model 2018 GT??? (I’m looking for all out performance btw, and I heard 10 speed is insane)

Bought a 2017 GT Premium a few weeks ago love it. I’m in Houston as well!

Great video brother!

Only 6 k subs dude needs more subs fr

There’s no need for the whole screen and digital dash. If you’re getting a mustang, it’s because of the amazing coyote engine and how fun it is to drive. You guys will save thousands of you just get a base. Plus with those thousands saved you can do after market stuff. Exhaust have to be changed too, so don’t get active exhaust, it’s a waste of money.

I’m not a gadget and gizmo guy. My 3 Mustangs were all base. The 08 had no option the 13 just had brembo brake package and the 16 had just the performance pack.

Oh ur from Houston, Tx *new sub*

I didnt notice blind spot monitors on that car my premium performance has them

It is so weird being the only car on the road when they shut them down

Black and maroon are the only colors I like this in.

I went with a used 2015 Mustang GT due to it have less than 9,000 miles. The premium is cool, but if you’re going to mod it out, I don’t think the price is worth it...

Damn I don’t care for the sound system I’d just like to have leather cooling and heated seats that’s all smh but like you said it’s better to get the premium if getting used car ..... prices high so I’m waiting for it to go down

Bro the flags are on the wrong sides ( above the 5.0 badge)

It's Def worth the money for the PP1. What you are showing is the PP2 I believe. You get a bigger Rad/Better cooling, Staggered wheel's/Bigger wheel's and tire's, But most importantly (The 373's Rear/gearing which are the star of the show), better brakes and handling too. Beefier sway bar along with a Strut Brace, And it matter's...

I'd get the base with the 301a package. I, too, am not a fan of leather seats (you really do have to take care of them, or they'll crack in about 4 years).
