Can anyone help me out?
I have asked this before but I noticed there is a Ford rep on here now and maybe some of you guys might have the answer. My insurance policy lists my 2010 V6 as a GT due to the vin state farm said. Does this make any sense to anyone? The insurance is higher then that of my dads 2006 V6 so we asked what was the deal and they told us the car is listed as a GT due to the vin......maybe I should request Ford but the V8 engine in it then LOL

So hypothetically if you got in an front end accident, they'd replace with GT parts (bumper, engine etc)? I'd imagine you're definitely paying a fair bit more for the 'GT' vs what you would normally for the V6. Doesn't seem right

Did you confirm your vin with statefarm? Maybe they have it wrong, or maybe Ford messed something up when assigning one? I thought cars came with vins from the initial frame making...
Either way you should call Ford's service department up and get to the bottom of this.

Find out how much it would cost to insure your car as a V6 (like it should be) and ask them to mail you a check for the difference in cost that you have already paid to them. This situation is ridiculous.

As for the OP's 2010 V6 being more than his dad's '06 V6, well...yeah; of course it would be. Your dad's car is older, thus less costly to insure. Plus, he may have a better driving record, or may just be in a less expensive age group.

I'd suspect that someone at State Farm wrote it down wrong. I'd drive the car to them, and get an adjuster to come out and inspect the car and the VIN. They shouldn't be calling a V6 car a GT.
