Mustang GT Named 2011′s Best New Model

The 2011 Mustang GT by Ford has been named the Best New Model by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance.

That’s right – Kiplinger’s Personal Finance named two Ford vehicles (Mustang GT and redesigned Explorer) their “Best New Models” for 2011.

With the Mustang GT, “the publication called out its high resale value, relatively low service and insurance costs, and overall modest price; in picking the Explorer, the SUV’s safety record and rigid new unibody construction won praise. But interestingly, there was one particular common advantage that stood out with both vehicles: High-performance, high-efficiency powerplants.”

“This includes a brand-new 5.0-liter all-aluminum V8 for the 2011 Mustang GT, giving the modern-day muscle car a robust combination of performance and fuel economy. That comes courtesy of Ford engine technologies like sequential multi-port electronic fuel injection, twin independent variable valve camshaft timing and high-energy coil-on-plug spark plugs, delivering a bottom line of 412 hp, 390 hp and 26 mpg on the highway.”

“Standard on the new Explorer is an advanced 3.5-liter V6, but the engine’s performance is anything but “standard.” Instead, it helps Ford’s popular SUV achieve a best-in-class EPA rating of 25 mpg highway—a 25 percent increase over its 2010 results—yet still tow up to 5,000 lbs. when properly equipped. In addition, the Explorer soon will be available with one of the automaker’s groundbreaking EcoBoost I4 engines, which is expected to improve fuel economy even further.”
