I wasn't expecting too many, if not more than a handful, of 5.0 owners to have racked up over 100k miles by now. Just pointing out from personal experience based on owning about or more than a dozen vehicles and having put over 1,500,000 miles on those unless you own a real lemon, you won't be able to speak on reliability much before 100k miles.

I agree^^^^^^.

I put 30K miles on my motorcycle in 3 years and it's recreational stuff with only winter riding since it's too hot in FL to ride with proper gears in the summer (I'm not the moron that rides with T-shirt and short only with no helmet, since I value my body parts, lol).
So technically I did those miles in a year and a half.
If I can do that on my non daily transportation, I'm sure someone is close to the 100k mark on a DD 5.0. by now...

Nuke, if you want to fund me I will go out on a 1 year road trip. To make it fair I will bring along my wife to make sure that I do not have much fun.

Unfortunately, probably 1/3 of my highway miles are stop and go traffic.. 20 miles to work.. 20 miles back. Lots of 2nd gear up to 30mph.. a little time in 3rd.. back to neutral as I have to slam on the brakes... rolling start in second.. then the cycle begins again. I eventually get on an outer road so I can at least get up to 4th. Those aren't easy miles.. Im surprised I still have a clutch.

9,500 miles and the starter has been hanging up on hot restarts like when you stop for a fill-up then right back in. Ford said it sounded funny so it is being replaced.

22,000 on 2011 gt prem getrag. I was in the hosipal and my girl friend took it to dealers {3} to get front drivers side headlight fixed so i could drive at night. finally after the 3rd dealer , she left it there to be looked at. 5 days later she bought me a bill for 121.00 as the dealer said it had an aftermarket headlight kit on it. by the time i could drive it was out again, so i called an ask about where the aftermarket headlight kit, well they lost it! IT WAS NEVER ON THERE! not going to kept paying for rent cars! I been driving it Gently for 22,000 miles so for! same grind from 1st to second, i learn from my ls1 trans am , if you relax and lift up a tad on gear shift you can powershift very well! banging controll arms front and rear. fixing to put qa1 struts and shocks, or strange. enjoy

Just saw the April 2013 Consumer Reports car issue. Mustang is again a recommended vehicle making that select list in both the new and used sections of the magazine. Reliability for the current V8 is reported to be below average and for the V6 average.

I have just over 40,000 miles on the 13 GT it was a courtesy car previously and no issues to speak of. I am guessing it was probably driven hard during this time. I know if someone handed me the keys of a "courtesy" car like this I would drive the crap out of it.

My 2011 I bought yesterday has 46k on it...runs great and pulls hard, but I have no grounds for comparison. Engine is original, and I couldn't find anything anywhere indicating that it has had any issues in the past.

I bought a 2011 GT5.0; 43k miles... In service of 5/2010. Runs good, don't notice anything. I have been considering the Ford ESP... Hrm.
