Just got back form our 2006 Ford Fleet intor meeting in Chicago. We received our '06 Fleet order guides. (Also got to see and sit in a prototype Fusion; GREAT car in this midsize segment).

Here are the changes I saw. I already posted the colors on a previous thread.

Integrated Tire Pressure Monitoring System [TPMS] comes standard on all '06 Mustangs.

18" Polished Aluminum wheels are avaialble [sorry no pictiure to scan]

GT HP and torque remain the same

My Color is still available

Convert "boot" is std for 2006.

Interior colors : Med parchment, Lt Graphite, Dk Charcoal, Red Accent is available.

I was able to force the system and order a Tungsten GT Coupe with red accent interior and I got a DORA back.

The changes above are the only ones I could see. All other options remain the same.

 

Thanks! Actually glad there aren't any significant changes. Should help my resale value if I decide to trade for a vert in a year to two.

 

I was hoping for a blue version of ICAP. I wonder why they aren't offering that. :scratch:

 

So no Satellite Radio option?

 

Did not see satellite radio. Ford will offer Sirius capability in '06 F150

 

Thanks, that stinks. Probably still cost about $500 to $600 to get it installed by the dealer into a "compatible" vehicle. I was really hoping I could just check a box on the build sheet for about $150 to get it factory installed...

 

what about the V6?

 

My dad might be interested in that...btw, I'm so glad they still have red & didn't replace it w/ blue...i have blue in my towncar, & it aint so great...its probably better in a mustang though

 

Glad they added the tire pressure monitoring system... Too bad it will be too late for me!

 

I also herd you will have the choice of regular rear axel or limited slip rear axel as opposed to the standard limited slip on the 05

 

V6 don't have a limited slip....GTs do
No choice period.
All are SRA, not IRS ... no option

 

I want to see an "Actual" photo of Vista Blue and Tungsten Grey!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH :bang: :bang: :bang:

 

Me too regarding the Vista Blue.

 

Were there any changes in Shaker systems? $1200 just for two subwoofers and an amp seems a bit steep.

 

:hiding:

 

Uhhh...what is the diff between the "tire pressure monitoring system" mentioned here and the Tire Pressure OK message we get now in our Message Center?

 

you have a tire pressure ok on your message center? I dont on mine!
anyone else have that?

Brad, your reply totally cracked me up. hopefully soon we will all see the "new" colors.

 

Unfortunately it is at the dealership right now for the popping fix and tranny noises so I can't check.

But I'm 100% certain it does.

The Vista Blue judging by the paint chip in the book looks a little like sonic blue but not as bright.

The tungsten looks like a light grey metallic.
