Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2018 GT.
The 2018 Ford GT is a passenger car fitted with an Automatic (AM7) transmission and EPA ratings of 11/18/14 mpg. Over the 2004–2018 model run, owner complaints peaked at only five in 2006 and bottomed out at one in 2004, a range that places the 2018 model year within a historically low-complaint span for the nameplate. That pattern indicates owner-reported problems have been scarce throughout the covered production years.
