2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback: Power, Comfort, and Value The 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback starts at $51,080 MSRP and delivers 480 hp from its naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote V8 paired with a manual 6-speed transmission and rear-wheel drive. It sits at the sweet spot in the Mustang lineup for buyers who want genuine V8 muscle, an upgraded leather interior, and modern driver-assistance technology without stepping up to a track-dedicated variant. Fuel economy rates at 15 city / 23 highway / 18 combined mpg, and cargo capacity measures about 13 cu ft. Research Ford Mustang How Much Does the 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback Cost to Own in Dickinson County? The 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback carries a base MSRP of $51,080, plus a destination charge of $1,995, bringing the drive-away starting figure to $53,075 before any options or packages. That price point positions it as a serious performance investment — one that makes sense for buyers in this region who want a vehicle that doubles as a weekend driver and a daily commuter without the operating costs of a dedicated track car. Feature GT Premium Fastback Base MSRP $51,080 Destination charge $1,995 The specific vehicle currently in stock at Valor Ford — stock number 26FC01 — is a Shadow Black GT Premium Fastback priced at $58,358, reflecting a well-equipped build that includes the 10-Speed SelectShift Automatic Transmission, the Mustang Nite Pony Package, the Brembo Brake System w/ Performance Linings, the B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen 12 Speakers, the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package, and Equipment Group 401A. Those additions explain the price step above base, and each one adds measurable real-world value rather than cosmetic padding. For buyers in Dickinson County and the surrounding area who are comparing the Mustang against European alternatives like the BMW M2 or the Toyota GR Supra, the GT Premium Fastback delivers comparable performance credentials at a competitive price point, backed by a domestic dealer network that makes service straightforward. You can research the full Mustang lineup to compare how the GT Premium stacks up within Ford's own hierarchy, or explore available new Ford Bronco Badlands inventory if you're also considering a capable off-road option for the region's terrain. Contact Us for Financing Information Stand Out on Roads with the 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback's Bold Exterior The GT Premium Fastback's exterior design is unmistakably Mustang — long hood, fastback roofline, wide rear haunches — but the 2026 model year brings a sharpened execution that reads as modern without abandoning the proportions that made the nameplate iconic. Road & Track noted that the Mustang "feels honed and modern without straying too far from the public's perception of what a Mustang should look like," and the GT Premium Fastback is the trim where that balance is most fully realized for everyday buyers. Standard exterior lighting runs full LED across the board — projector-beam LED headlights with both low and high beam LED elements, LED daytime running lights, LED side indicator lights, LED rear lights, and LED brake lights. Auto high-beam control and a dusk sensor mean the lighting system manages itself on evening drives without driver input. The body measures 189.4 inches in overall length, 75.4 inches wide (or 81.9 inches including mirrors), and 55 inches tall, with a 107-inch wheelbase. Those proportions give the car its low, wide stance — the rear track measures 64.7 inches, which is notably wider than the 62-inch front track, a geometry that contributes to the planted visual presence as much as the dynamic one. Standard 19-inch alloy wheels fill the arches cleanly. The stock vehicle at Valor Ford wears Shadow Black paint with a Black Onyx leather interior, a combination that reads as purposeful and restrained. The available color palette extends to Race Red, Oxford White, Grabber Blue Metallic, Carbonized Gray Metallic, Vapor Blue Metallic, Iconic Silver Metallic, Adriatic Blue Metallic, Orange Fury Metallic Tri-coat, and Molten Magenta Metallic Tricoat, giving buyers a genuine range of expression. Shoppers who want to compare how the Mustang's exterior design philosophy differs from Ford's utility-focused vehicles can review the 2026 Ford Explorer research page, or browse our pre-owned vehicle inventory if a certified prior-model Mustang fits the budget better. Power and Precision for Drives in the 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback The headline number is 480 hp — but the character of how that power arrives is what separates the GT Premium Fastback from turbocharged alternatives in this price range. The 5.0-liter Coyote V8 is a naturally aspirated engine that pulls cleanly from low rpm and builds to its power peak at 7,150 rpm, with 415 lb-ft of torque arriving at 4,900 rpm. That delivery curve rewards drivers who use the rev range, making the car feel alive in a way that a peak-torque-at-1,500-rpm turbocharged engine simply cannot replicate. Feature GT Premium Fastback Engine 5L Horsepower 480 hp Torque 415 lb-ft Transmission manual 6-speed Drivetrain Rear-wheel drive The standard transmission is a manual 6-speed — a deliberate choice by Ford that keeps the GT Premium Fastback connected to the enthusiast tradition that defines the nameplate. The specific transmission code is the Getrag MT-82, a floor-mounted unit that gives the driver direct mechanical engagement on every gear change. For buyers who prefer an automatic, the 10-Speed SelectShift Automatic Transmission GT is available as a standalone option; the stock vehicle at Valor Ford is equipped with that automatic, which uses a SelectShift system with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and a manual mode. Chassis engineering matches the powertrain's ambition. The front suspension uses an independent strut setup with coil springs and a stabilizer bar; the rear uses an independent multi-link arrangement, also with coil springs and a stabilizer bar. A mechanical limited-slip differential is standard, ensuring that all 415 lb-ft reaches the road effectively. The optional GT Performance Package upgrades that differential to a TORSEN unit and adds a sport-tuned alternate suspension, wider rear wheels (9.5 in vs. the standard 8.5 in), painted brake calipers, an electronic handbrake, and front tow/recovery hooks — a meaningful chassis upgrade for drivers who want sharper cornering behavior. MotorTrend observed that the GT, "when pushed through canyon roads, is shockingly poised and well balanced," and the suspension geometry supports that assessment. Electric power steering with vehicle-speed-proportional assist, launch control, and electronic stability control round out the dynamic package.

For buyers also considering Ford's truck lineup, the 2026 Ford F-150 research page provides a useful reference for how Ford approaches capability across different segments. Trade In Evaluation Spacious Cabin Comfort for Drivers and Outdoor Enthusiasts The GT Premium Fastback seats 4 in a 2+2 configuration — two full sport seats up front and a rear bench that accommodates two additional passengers. Front headroom measures 37.6 inches, front legroom 44.5 inches, and front shoulder room 56.3 inches, all of which are genuinely comfortable dimensions for adults. The rear row is more compact, with 34.8 inches of headroom, 29 inches of legroom, and 52.2 inches of shoulder room — workable for shorter trips with kids or passengers who don't need extended rear-seat comfort. Feature GT Premium Fastback Seating 4 Cargo 13.3 cu ft Curb weight 3,741 lbs Cargo capacity behind the rear seats measures about 13 cu ft, which is enough for a weekend's worth of gear — fishing rods, a cooler, picnic supplies — without requiring a separate vehicle. The rear seats fold symmetrically, and the cargo area includes an illuminated load space. The curb weight of 3,741 lbs keeps the car feeling athletic rather than ponderous. Interior materials in the GT Premium Fastback step up meaningfully from the standard GT. The standard upholstery is synthetic leather with leather accents, but the stock vehicle at Valor Ford is equipped with full Black Onyx leather front seat upholstery. The driver's seat offers 4-way electric adjustment including electric height, reach, and recline, plus an electric lumbar. The passenger seat provides 2-way electric adjustment. Both seats are ventilated and heated — useful for Kansas winters and summer afternoons alike. The center floor console wears a leather wrap, the gear selector is leather-trimmed, and the instrument panel and door panels carry a carbon fiber-look accent finish, giving the cabin a cohesive, driver-focused aesthetic. A leather-wrapped, heated, multi-function steering wheel with tilt and telescopic adjustment, illuminated vanity mirrors on both sides, and selectable ambient lighting complete the premium interior package. Two-zone automatic climate control handles temperature management independently for driver and passenger.

Tech That Simplifies Your Commute in the 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback The GT Premium Fastback's technology stack centers on SYNC 4, Ford's connected infotainment platform, delivered through a 13.2-inch fixed touchscreen at the center of the dashboard. The digital instrument cluster measures 12.4 inches and combines TFT screen and analog elements, giving the driver configurable performance data alongside traditional gauges. Both screens are standard equipment on the GT Premium Fastback. Smartphone integration is wireless for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, meaning no cable is required to mirror navigation, music, and messaging from the driver's phone. Both connections are included for the life of the vehicle. The system also supports a built-in internet browser and an OEM data plan. A 12-month Wi-Fi hotspot subscription is included from the factory, using an embedded SIM card. Bluetooth connectivity, voice activation with a virtual assistant, and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls are all standard. The standard audio system includes 9 speakers with AM/FM radio, digital radio, satellite radio (with a 3-month trial subscription), and a touchscreen audio interface. For buyers who want a more immersive sound experience, the B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen 12 Speakers is available as a standalone option — and it is included in the stock vehicle at Valor Ford. That system adds 12 Bang & Olufsen speakers including a subwoofer, a meaningful upgrade for long highway stretches or spirited drives with music. The front USB connection count is 1 data port, supplemented by 3 USB charging ports at the front. Remote services through the Ford app include remote lock/unlock, vehicle diagnostics, and a find-my-car function, all available for the life of the vehicle. Driver modes cover engine mapping and steering feel, allowing the car's character to be adjusted between a relaxed touring mode and a sharper sport setting. The optional Ford Connectivity Package adds a 13.2-inch navigation system with 3D mapping, voice-guided directions, internet-fed traffic data, and 84 months of map updates and traffic subscription. Keeping the Mustang's technology performing at its best over time is straightforward when you order genuine Ford parts directly through Valor Ford. Order Genuine Ford Parts Safety Systems Built for Drivers and Community Life The 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback earns a 5-star overall NHTSA safety rating, with 5-star scores in frontal crash, side impact, and rollover categories — the highest ratings available. That structural performance is backed by 8 airbags covering front driver and passenger positions, front and rear side airbags, front and rear curtain airbags, and driver and passenger knee airbags. Front seat belts include pre-tensioners on both sides; rear seat belts cover both outboard positions. Head restraints are height-adjustable and fore-and-aft adjustable at both front and rear seating positions. The active safety suite is anchored by Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), which activates as low as 3 mph and operates across the full speed range — including above 78 mph on the highway. The system monitors for pedestrians and cyclists, includes junction-turning detection, activates the brake lights as a warning to following traffic, and supports object avoidance steering. A driver monitoring function watches for inattention and alerts the driver when necessary. The Lane-Keeping System actively applies steering input to prevent unintended lane departures — not just a warning chime, but actual corrective action. The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) monitors both rear quarters and activates without requiring a turn signal, meaning it alerts the driver to vehicles in the blind zone even during spontaneous lane changes. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert uses radar to detect cross-traffic when reversing, and the system includes automatic braking capability in that scenario. The optional Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package — included in the stock vehicle at Valor Ford — adds adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, intelligent speed assist, a speed limiter, traffic sign recognition, memorized seat position settings, and Level 2 partial automation including highway assist and active lane control. That package transforms the Mustang's highway capability considerably, making long interstate drives between Junction City and destinations across Kansas genuinely less fatiguing. Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS, a brake assist system, electronic stability control, electronic traction control, launch control, and an auto-hold electronic parking brake round out the chassis safety systems. The standard rear parking camera with sensors and guidance display assists with parking maneuvers. Breaking Down 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback Pricing and Trims The GT Premium Fastback sits at the upper-middle tier of the 2026 Mustang lineup, above the standard GT Fastback and below the track-oriented Dark Horse variants. Within Ford's own trim hierarchy — EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, GT Premium, Dark Horse, Dark Horse Premium, Dark Horse SC, and GTD — the GT Premium occupies the position where the V8 powertrain meets a fully premium interior and a comprehensive technology suite. At $51,080 base MSRP plus $1,995 destination, the GT Premium Fastback represents a meaningful step over the standard GT while delivering every feature that most buyers actually use daily. The upgrade from GT to GT Premium brings leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, the larger 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen, the 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster, the heated leather steering wheel, ambient lighting, and the full suite of standard driver-assistance technology. Several factory packages allow buyers to tailor the GT Premium Fastback further. The GT Performance Package is the most mechanically significant option, adding the TORSEN limited-slip differential, sport-tuned suspension, wider 19-inch wheels (9 in front / 9.5 in rear), painted brake calipers, an electronic handbrake, and front tow/recovery hooks. The Mustang Nite Pony Package delivers a blacked-out aesthetic with a black roof, toned mirror caps, and unique 19-inch alloy wheels. The Bronze Appearance Package offers a warm metallic accent treatment on the 19-inch wheels. The Equipment Group 401A adds adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, intelligent speed assist, memorized driver seat positions, traffic sign recognition, anti-theft protection, and the expanded collision system features. For audio, the B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen 12 Speakers is a standalone option that upgrades the 9-speaker standard system to a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen setup with a subwoofer. The 10-Speed SelectShift Automatic Transmission GT is available for buyers who prefer an automatic. Interior color choices span Black Onyx Leather, Space Gray Leather, Carmine Red Leather, and several two-tone combinations including Black Onyx with Light Gray and Black Onyx with Space Gray, plus RECARO leather-trimmed sport seat options in black, gray, and Emberglo colorways. The current stock vehicle at Valor Ford — Shadow Black with Black Onyx leather and the automatic transmission — is a well-rounded specification that covers the most frequently requested options in a single build. Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Insights for 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback Owners Ford backs the GT Premium Fastback with a 3-year / 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Corrosion protection coverage extends to 5 years. Paint warranty coverage runs 3 years / 36,000 miles. Roadside assistance is included for 5 years / 60,000 miles, meaning that if the Coyote V8 ever leaves a driver stranded on a Kansas highway, Ford's manufacturer-backed roadside program is the resource to call — not a third-party service. Ford Roadside Assistance provides brand-specific expertise, genuine Ford parts, and access to authorized service centers, all backed by the factory warranty. The powertrain warranty is the most practically important coverage for performance car buyers. A 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty on a 480 hp V8 represents genuine manufacturer confidence in the engine's durability, and it covers the Coyote's major mechanical components through the ownership period most buyers experience before trading or selling. For ongoing maintenance — oil changes, brake inspections, tire rotations, and the periodic service intervals that keep a high-performance engine running cleanly — Valor Ford's service department is the right resource. The team there understands the specific requirements of the Coyote V8 and can handle everything from routine maintenance to warranty work using genuine Ford components. Scheduling your first service appointment is straightforward through Valor Ford's online service booking page, and it's worth setting that up before the first oil change interval arrives rather than waiting. Schedule Ford Service Today Awards and Expert Recognition Highlighting the 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback's Strengths Third-party recognition of the 2026 Mustang lineup is consistent and specific. J.D. Power awarded the Mustang Highest Ranked Sporty Car in the U.S. Initial Quality Study — J.D. Power (2026) and Most Appealing Sporty Car in the U.S. APEAL Study — J.D. Power (2026), two separate measures that together confirm both the build quality and the emotional satisfaction owners report in the first 90 days of ownership. Car and Driver recognized the Mustang with its Editors' Choice: Sports Car — Car and Driver (2026), the publication's annual designation for vehicles that represent the best value and performance in their segment. Those accolades align with what automotive press has said in detailed reviews. Edmunds describes the Mustang as "a charmer and a hammer" with "thumping V8 power, truly excellent handling and modern tech," noting it is "in no way a one-trick pony." Car and Driver's assessment frames the Mustang as proof that "American muscle is alive and well," while The Car Connection observes that it "feels like a car aimed squarely at drivers who still care about sound, feel, and drama more than spec sheet bragging rights." MotorTrend's road test found the GT "shockingly poised and well balanced" when driven hard through corners, and Road & Track praised the design as "honed and modern without straying too far from the public's perception of what a Mustang should look like. Taken together, these assessments from independent sources confirm that the GT Premium Fastback's combination of the Coyote V8, the premium interior, and the standard safety technology suite represents a coherent, well-executed package rather than a series of compromises. For buyers in this region who are cross-shopping against the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Toyota GR Supra, or Nissan Z, that level of consistent expert endorsement is a meaningful data point. Fuel Economy Fuel economy and range by trim Feature GT Premium Fastback MPG 15 city / 23 hwy / 18 combined Frequently Asked Questions About the 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback Q: What is the fuel economy of the 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback? The GT Premium Fastback is EPA-rated at 15 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined. The vehicle runs on regular unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 87, and the 16-gallon fuel tank provides a calculated range of approximately 288 miles on a full tank at the combined rating. For daily commuting between Fort Riley and Junction City, that range is more than adequate for a full week of driving before refueling. Q: Does rear-wheel drive make the 2026 Mustang GT Premium Fastback difficult to drive in Kansas weather? Rear-wheel drive requires more driver awareness in wet or icy conditions than all-wheel drive, but the GT Premium Fastback is equipped with electronic stability control, electronic traction control, and ABS to help manage traction loss. The standard tires are all-season rated on 19-inch alloys, which provide reasonable year-round capability. Drivers who want maximum winter grip can fit dedicated winter tires during colder months — Valor Ford's service department can advise on fitment options. The flat to gently rolling terrain in this region is generally manageable with the standard stability systems engaged. Q: Is the 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback practical for a family of four? The GT Premium Fastback seats 4 in a 2+2 configuration. Front passengers have 44.5 inches of legroom and 37.6 inches of headroom. The rear row provides 29 inches of legroom — comfortable for shorter trips with children but tight for tall adults on long journeys. The about 13 cu ft cargo area handles everyday loads and weekend gear. For a couple with younger children using the car as a secondary vehicle for weekend outings, the GT Premium Fastback works well. As a sole family vehicle for four adults on extended road trips, the rear space is the limiting factor. Q: What packages are available on the GT Premium Fastback, and which ones are worth considering? The most performance-relevant package is the GT Performance Package, which adds the TORSEN limited-slip differential, sport suspension, wider wheels, painted calipers, and an electronic handbrake. For drivers who prioritize highway safety technology, the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package adds adaptive cruise with stop-and-go, active lane control, and highway assist. The Mustang Nite Pony Package delivers a blacked-out exterior aesthetic. The Equipment Group 401A adds adaptive cruise, memorized seat positions, and anti-theft protection. The stock vehicle at Valor Ford includes the Nite Pony Package, Co-Pilot360 Assist+, Equipment Group 401A, and the Brembo brake upgrade, making it a comprehensively equipped example. Q: Where can I see the 2026 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback in person? Valor Ford has a Shadow Black GT Premium Fastback (stock number 26FC01) currently available for a test drive. The dealership is located at 1825 Goldenbelt Blvd, Junction City, KS 66441. To confirm availability or schedule a test drive before making the trip, give the sales team a call at (785) 238-5114. Customers have described the experience as excellent customer service and a straightforward process, which reflects the kind of low-pressure, knowledgeable interaction that makes a performance car purchase enjoyable rather than stressful.

What Is the 0 to 60 Time of the Ford Edge ST? When drivers ask about midsize crossover agility with genuine muscle, the answer centers directly on the high-performance emblem: the Ford Edge ST achieves a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of 5.7 to 5.9 seconds in real-world testing. This rapid launch puts the midsize SUV with sporty acceleration while retaining full five-passenger practicality and cargo versatility. At the core of this athletic performance is Ford Performance engineering. Under the sculpted hood sits a potent 2.7-liter Twin-Turbo EcoBoost V6 engine producing a commanding 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel. Coupled with standard intelligent all-wheel drive and quick-reacting traction management, the Edge ST transfers every bit of power to the pavement without hesitation. What Are the Performance Specs and Horsepower of the Ford Edge ST Engine? The mechanical heartbeat of the Ford Edge ST is a masterpiece of modern EcoBoost technology. Unlike standard midsize crossovers powered by naturally aspirated four-cylinder engines, the Edge ST benefits from twin turbochargers integrated directly into the exhaust manifolds. This drastically minimizes turbo lag and delivers peak torque as low as 3,250 RPM. Power is channeled through a tuned 7-speed automatic transmission equipped with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Engaging Sport Mode sharpens throttle calibration, alters shift mapping to hold gears deeper into the powerband, and enhances engine acoustics inside the cabin. Key Engine & Drivetrain Specifications: • Engine Type: 2.7L Twin-Turbocharged EcoBoost V6 • Horsepower: 335 hp @ 5,500 rpm • Torque: 380 lb-ft @ 3,250 rpm • Transmission: 7-Speed Automatic with SelectShift Paddle Shifters • Drivetrain: Intelligent AWD with Disconnect Capability Is the Ford Edge ST Faster Than a Subaru Outback XT? When buyers compare sporty, practical all-wheel-drive crossovers, the Subaru Outback XT frequently enters the conversation. However, on straight-line acceleration and aggressive cornering dynamics, the Ford Edge ST offers stronger straight-line acceleration. While the Subaru Outback XT features a 2.4L turbocharged horizontally opposed engine generating 260 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque (yielding 0-60 times around 5.9 to 6.1 seconds), the Edge ST outmuscles it with 335 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque. The extra 75 horsepower and 103 lb-ft of torque give the Ford Edge ST significantly punchier midrange acceleration when overtaking on rural highways or merging into rapid highway traffic. Metric / Feature Ford Edge ST Subaru Outback XT Engine 2.7L Twin-Turbo V6 2.4L Turbo Flat-4 Horsepower 335 hp 260 hp Torque 380 lb-ft 277 lb-ft 0 to 60 MPH 5.7 - 5.9 sec 5.9 - 6.1 sec Transmission 7-Speed Automatic CVT Automatic How Does the Ford Edge ST Compare to the Ford Explorer ST in Speed and Engine Size? Ford Edge ST (2-Row Crossover) • Engine: 2.7L Twin-Turbo EcoBoost V6 • Horsepower: 335 hp • 0-60 Time: ~5.7 seconds • Layout: Front-wheel bias AWD architecture • Ideal for: Drivers seeking agile 2-row convenience with sport hatchback handling. Ford Explorer ST (3-Row SUV) • Engine: 3.0L Twin-Turbo EcoBoost V6 • Horsepower: 400 hp • 0-60 Time: ~5.2 seconds • Layout: Rear-wheel bias AWD architecture • Ideal for: Larger families needing 3-row seating and maximum towing capacity. If you are interested in exploring larger 3-row performance options, you can Research Ford Explorer models at Valor Ford. Which ST SUV Fits You Best? While the Explorer ST uses a larger 3.0L V6 to reach 60 mph half a second quicker, the Edge ST benefits from a lower center of gravity and roughly 400 pounds less curb weight. This gives the 2-row Edge ST a nimble, tossable feel around tight bends around Junction City. Ready to explore available pre-owned models? You can Browse Used Inventory online today. Research Ford Explorer Performance What Was the Starting MSRP for the Final 2024 Ford Edge ST? For its final production model year, the 2024 Ford Edge ST carried a starting base MSRP of $47,205. Considering the extensive array of standard high-performance hardware—including intelligent AWD, sport-tuned suspension, dual trapezoidal exhaust tips, and dynamic sport seating—the Edge ST delivered extraordinary value compared to European luxury sport crossovers priced well over $60,000. Standard 2024 Edge ST features included 20-inch bright machined aluminum wheels, ST leather-trimmed seats with Miko suede inserts, Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+, and the massive 12-inch portrait touch display. Pre-Owned Market Opportunity in Central Kansas Because 2024 marked the grand finale for the Ford Edge ST line, pre-owned models represent a rare sweet spot for buyers near Junction City and Fort Riley.

Real-World Acceleration: Merging onto I-70 and Highway Commuting Around Junction City A 0 to 60 mph stat in a spec sheet is exciting, but how does that transfer to daily driving around Dickinson County, Fort Riley, and Junction City? It translates directly into effortless confidence when entering high-speed traffic zones. Merging onto Interstate 70 from short rural on-ramps requires quick bursts of speed to match the 75 mph traffic flow smoothly.

How Ford Performance Tuned the Edge ST Suspension, Brakes, and AWD System Sport-Tuned Suspension Ford Performance engineers upgraded spring rates by 10% in the front and 20% in the rear compared to the Edge Titanium. Stiffer anti-roll bars drastically decrease body roll in sharp turns. ST Performance Brakes Optional ST High-Performance Brake Package includes larger front rotors, performance brake pads, and distinctive Colorado Red front and rear calipers for resistant stopping power.

What Fuel Economy Can You Expect From the High-Performance Ford Edge ST? High performance does not mean sacrificing everyday usability. The EPA fuel economy estimates for the twin-turbocharged Ford Edge ST are highly competitive for a 335-horsepower SUV: • City EPA Rating: 19 MPG • Highway EPA Rating: 25 MPG • Combined EPA Rating: 21 MPG Equipped with an 18.5-gallon fuel tank, the Edge ST provides an impressive highway cruising range of over 450 miles between fill-ups. Tips for Maximizing EcoBoost Efficiency: 1. Smooth Throttle Control: While EcoBoost turbos deliver quick surge power, cruising in Normal drive mode keeps engine RPM low for optimal highway MPG. 2. Auto Start-Stop: Utilizing the standard engine start-stop technology helps eliminate fuel waste while idling at city intersections in Junction City. 3. Tire Pressure Maintenance: Keeping high-performance tires inflated to factory specifications minimizes rolling resistance. Pre-Owned Ford Edge ST Buyer Checklist: What to Look For 1. Verified Service Records Ensure regular synthetic oil changes every 5,000–7,500 miles. Turbocharged V6 engines require consistent clean oil to protect internal bearings and turbo seals. 2. Brake & Tire Wear Check the condition of performance brake pads and summer performance tires if equipped with the ST High-Performance package. Ensure brake rotors show smooth wear without grooving. 3. AWD & Transmission Checks Verify smooth gear shifts during hard acceleration and inspect the power transfer unit (PTU) fluid service history for flawless all-wheel-drive engagement.

Powered by Ford's naturally aspirated 5L Coyote V8 producing 480 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque, paired with a manual 6-speed transmission and rear-wheel drive, it delivers a visceral driving experience that electrified crossovers simply cannot replicate. Seating four in a refined leather cabin with a 13.2-inch touchscreen and a broad menu of factory packages, this is the Mustang built for drivers who want everything. How Much Does the 2025 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback Cost to Own? The GT Premium Fastback represents a meaningful step up in refinement and technology over the base GT, and the in-stock example at Valor Ford carries an MSRP of $58,900 — a figure that reflects the 60th Anniversary Package, Equipment Group 401A, Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+, and a 10-Speed SelectShift Automatic Transmission among its installed options. That price also includes Ford's $1,995 destination charge built into the retail figure. Shoppers who prefer the standard manual 6-speed configuration will find that pricing varies depending on selected packages, so it is worth reviewing the current Mustang research and configuration details to understand exactly where your build lands. Fuel costs are a realistic ownership consideration with a V8 sports car. The GT Premium Fastback is EPA-rated as follows: Feature GT Premium Fastback MPG 15 city / 23 hwy / 18 combined At 18 combined MPG, the Coyote V8 is honest about its priorities — this engine rewards spirited driving, not hypermiling. On a 16-gallon tank, expect a calculated range of approximately 288 miles per fill-up, making it entirely practical for daily commuting around Junction City and weekend runs across the Kansas plains. Insurance, routine maintenance, and occasional premium fuel costs (the engine accepts 87-octane regular unleaded) round out the ownership picture. Buyers looking to offset costs with a trade-in can start the process by checking our pre-owned inventory to see what comparable vehicles are currently bringing in the local market. Contact Us for Financing Information Bold Mustang Design with Heritage-Inspired Styling There is a reason the Mustang remains one of the most recognizable shapes on American roads — and the seventh-generation fastback body doubles down on that identity with a more aggressive, chiseled presence. The GT Premium Fastback wears a two-door coupe silhouette measuring 189.4 inches long, 75.4 inches wide, and just 55 inches tall, giving it a wide, planted stance that communicates performance before the engine even starts. The in-stock Valor Ford example arrives in Wimbledon White — a color that carries genuine historical weight in the Mustang nameplate and suits the clean, purposeful lines of the fastback roofline. Standard LED projector-beam headlights with automatic high-beam control and LED daytime running lights anchor the front end, while body-color painted mirrors and a standard rear spoiler complete the exterior. The Equipment Group 401A adds illuminated stainless-steel door sill protectors that carry the premium aesthetic into the threshold. For buyers who want to push the visual identity further, the factory palette for the GT Premium Fastback spans Race Red, Shadow Black, Iconic Silver Metallic, Carbonized Gray Metallic, Grabber Blue Metallic, Vapor Blue Metallic, Molten Magenta Metallic Tricoat, Oxford White, Brittany Blue Metallic, and Intense Lime Yellow Metallic — eleven exterior choices in total. The Mustang Nite Pony Package swaps in a black roof, black-toned mirrors, and 19-inch black alloy wheels for a stealthy look, while the 60th Anniversary Package steps up to 20-inch alloys with chrome mirror caps to mark six decades of production. Road & Track noted that the car "feels honed and modern without straying too far from the public's perception of what a Mustang should look like" — a design philosophy that resonates with buyers who take pride in American heritage. If you are ready to move from your current vehicle, getting an estimate on your trade-in is a smart first step before you configure your build. Sporty Handling for Everyday Kansas Driving Put the numbers on the table first: 480 hp, 415 lb-ft of torque, a manual 6-speed transmission, and rear-wheel drive in a coupe weighing 3,741 lbs. That combination, anchored by Ford's naturally aspirated 5L Coyote V8 revving to peak power at 7,150 rpm and peak torque at 4,900 rpm, produces a driving experience that is fundamentally different from anything turbocharged or electrified. Feature GT Premium Fastback Engine 5L Horsepower 480 hp Torque 415 lb-ft Transmission manual 6-speed Drivetrain Rear-wheel drive The chassis underneath that power is genuinely capable. An independent front strut suspension with coil springs and a stabilizer bar works in concert with an independent rear multi-link setup — also coil-sprung with a stabilizer bar — to deliver composed, balanced handling across the kinds of terrain that define this part of Kansas. The gently rolling Flint Hills terrain near Fort Riley, with its sweeping curves and open sightlines, suits the Mustang's chassis balance particularly well. The car does not fight you through a bend; as MotorTrend observed after running the GT hard on canyon roads, it "dives in and carves through, with speeds and confidence previously only exhibited by Shelby-badged cars." Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS and brake assist give confident stopping power whether you are decelerating from highway speeds on a rural Kansas two-lane or navigating traffic near the base. Electronic traction control and stability control manage rear-wheel slip in everyday conditions, while launch control gives enthusiasts a controlled way to exploit the V8's torque from a standing start. The standard mechanical limited-slip differential keeps power delivery balanced under hard acceleration. Buyers who opt for the GT Performance Package gain a TORSEN mechanical limited-slip differential, sport-tuned suspension, painted brake calipers, and summer-compound tires on wider 19-inch alloys — a meaningful upgrade for drivers who spend time on twisting back roads. The optional 10-Speed SelectShift Automatic Transmission is also available for those who prefer a paddle-shifted experience without sacrificing the V8's character. If you are planning your purchase, getting pre-approved for financing online before you visit the showroom streamlines the process considerably. Research Ford Mustang Spacious Cabin for Everyday Comfort and Utility The GT Premium Fastback seats four in a 2+2 configuration — a practical layout for the military families and dual-income households that make up a significant portion of the Junction City buyer base. Front occupants have genuine room to settle in: 44.5 inches of front legroom, 37.6 inches of front headroom, and 56.3 inches of front shoulder room give the driver and passenger space that does not feel compromised by the fastback roofline. Feature GT Premium Fastback Seating 4 Cargo 13.3 cu ft Curb weight 3,741 lbs The rear seats offer 29 inches of legroom and 34.8 inches of headroom — adequate for shorter trips and younger passengers. With about 13 cu ft of trunk space, the Mustang handles a weekend's worth of gear: fishing equipment for a Kansas River outing, supplies for a Riverfest afternoon, or bags for an overnight trip without needing to fold anyone into an uncomfortable position. The interior of the GT Premium Fastback steps above the base GT with leather seating surfaces — the in-stock Valor Ford example wears Black Onyx leather front upholstery — and leather-trimmed door panels and gear selector. Both front seats are power-adjustable sports buckets: the driver's seat offers four-way power adjustment including electric height, reach, recline, and lumbar, while the passenger seat provides two-way power adjustment. Both front seats include heating and ventilation, and the standard dual-zone automatic climate control lets driver and passenger set independent temperatures — a feature that matters on a warm Kansas summer day. Illuminated vanity mirrors on both sun visors and a full-length floor console with front cup holders round out the everyday comfort details. For buyers who want to personalize the seating experience further, RECARO Black Onyx Leather front seats are available as an option, bringing additional lateral support for spirited driving. Keeping your Mustang's interior in top condition over time is straightforward when you order genuine Ford parts and accessories directly through Valor Ford. Connected Tech That Keeps You Moving The GT Premium Fastback comes standard with Ford's SYNC 4 infotainment system, and the hardware behind it is genuinely impressive for a sports coupe. A 13.2-inch fixed portrait touchscreen dominates the center stack, paired with a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster that gives the driver a fully configurable view of vehicle data, navigation, and performance readouts. The combination creates a cockpit that feels modern without abandoning driver-focused ergonomics. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are both standard, with effectively unlimited subscription terms included — so there is no trial period that expires after 90 days. A built-in Wi-Fi hotspot with an embedded SIM card provides 3 GB of data per month for three months, after which subscription terms apply. Bluetooth connectivity, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, and a voice-activated system round out the hands-free interface. The standard audio system includes 9 speakers with AM/FM, digital radio, satellite radio (with a 3-month trial subscription), and a front USB connection. Buyers who want a more immersive listening experience can add the B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen — a 12-speaker setup with a subwoofer that transforms the cabin into a genuinely premium audio environment. The system is a standalone option worth considering for anyone who spends significant time commuting. The Equipment Group 401A package adds a voice-activating system with enhanced capability, memorized driver settings, and a traffic sign recognition display — useful for drivers navigating both urban Junction City streets and rural highway signage. Remote services through Ford's connected platform include remote lock/unlock, vehicle diagnostics, theft alert, and find-my-car functionality, all included with an effectively unlimited subscription term. Edmunds notes that the Mustang handles daily commuting capably regardless of powertrain choice, and the technology suite reinforces that assessment by keeping the driver connected without demanding constant interaction. Safety Features Designed for Military Families and Daily Commutes The GT Premium Fastback carries a 5-star NHTSA overall safety rating — the agency's top score — with a 5-star frontal crash rating, 5-star side impact rating, and 5-star rollover rating. IIHS testing returned a Good rating in the moderate overlap front test and a Good rating in side impact, which are the two most consequential structural tests for occupant protection. The airbag system deploys 8 airbags in total, covering front driver and passenger, front side, front and rear curtain, and driver and passenger knee positions. Pre-tensioning front seat belts and three-point rear seat belts with adjustable head restraints at all four seating positions complete the passive safety architecture. Active safety technology is equally comprehensive. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) monitors the road ahead and activates from as low as 3 mph, providing both visual/acoustic warnings and autonomous braking when a collision is imminent. The Lane-Keeping System applies steering correction when the car begins to drift from its lane without a turn signal active. Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) uses radar to monitor adjacent lanes and alerts the driver to vehicles in the blind zone. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert uses radar to detect cross-traffic when reversing — a practical feature in parking lots and on narrow rural roads alike. The Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package, installed on the Valor Ford in-stock unit, adds Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go functionality, intelligent speed assist, and enhanced lane-centering capability — effectively delivering Level 2 partial automation on highway stretches. Multi-collision braking, which maintains brake pressure after an initial impact to reduce secondary collision risk, is also standard. For military families navigating both base traffic and open highway commutes, this suite covers the full range of daily driving scenarios. 2025 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback Trim Pricing Breakdown The GT Premium Fastback sits above the base GT Fastback in Ford's lineup, adding leather seating surfaces, power-adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation, the larger 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen, and a more comprehensive standard safety suite. The in-stock unit at Valor Ford is priced at $58,900 and reflects a well-optioned build that includes several meaningful factory packages. The Equipment Group 401A (High Package) is the most significant content upgrade available, adding adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, memorized driver settings, illuminated stainless-steel door sill protectors, and an enhanced voice activation system. The Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package layers in stop-and-go adaptive cruise and active blind-spot intervention on top of the standard safety suite. The 60th Anniversary Package commemorates six decades of Mustang production with 20-inch alloy wheels (up from the standard 19-inch units), chrome mirror caps, and distinctive badging — a meaningful visual upgrade that also changes the wheel and tire footprint to a wider 9-inch rim front and rear. The Mustang Nite Pony Package takes the opposite aesthetic direction, blacking out the roof, mirrors, and wheels for a more aggressive, stealthy appearance on the standard 19-inch 8.5-inch-wide alloys. For buyers focused on driving dynamics, the GT Performance Package is the most mechanically substantive option: it adds a TORSEN mechanical rear limited-slip differential, sport-tuned suspension, painted brake calipers, front recovery hooks, and summer-compound tires on wider 19-inch alloys with a 9-inch front rim and 9.5-inch rear rim. The 10-Speed SelectShift Automatic Transmission is available as a standalone option for those who prefer the automatic gearbox — it brings paddle shifters and a leather-wrapped gear selector, with gear ratios spanning 4.69:1 in first through 0.63:1 in tenth. Interior personalization runs through seven seating options spanning Black Onyx Leather, Space Gray Leather, Carmine Red leather, RECARO Black Onyx Leather, and three ActiveX/Recaro combinations in black, gray, and Emberglo. The B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen (12 speakers with subwoofer) and Active Valve Performance Exhaust round out the most popular standalone additions. Trade In Evaluation Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Insights for Mustang Owners Ford backs the GT Premium Fastback with a warranty structure that provides meaningful long-term protection across multiple coverage categories. Coverage Type Duration Distance Basic / Bumper-to-Bumper 36 months 36,000 mi Powertrain 60 months 60,000 mi Roadside Assistance 60 months 60,000 mi Anti-Corrosion 60 months Unlimited Paint 36 months 36,000 mi The 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty is the headline figure here — it covers the Coyote V8, the manual or automatic transmission, and the drivetrain components that are most expensive to repair. For military personnel who may rotate assignments and put significant miles on a vehicle over a short period, the distance-based coverage is the more relevant figure to track. Ford's roadside assistance program, included at no additional cost for 60 months / 60,000 miles, provides manufacturer-backed emergency support with access to Ford-trained technicians and genuine Ford parts. This is not a third-party service — it is coordinated through Ford's own network, which means any covered repair maintains the integrity of your warranty. The GT Premium Fastback was assembled at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant in the United States, which means parts availability through the Ford dealer network is straightforward. Valor Ford's service department is equipped to handle all scheduled maintenance and warranty work on this vehicle. Booking your first oil change or any future service appointment is simple through our Ford service scheduling page, and keeping your Mustang on Ford's recommended maintenance schedule protects both the powertrain warranty and the long-term value of the vehicle.
