So last week I decided it was time to get a new television. I went down to Best Buy and put a new Sharp 50 inch big screen on my Best Buy card. For those that don't know, you can get a big ticket item like that with 18 months zero interest. Anyway, that was the easy part. The hard part came in when I told the guy I was in my Mustang. He got that look on his face like "You son of b***h!" lol

Well in case you're wondering, yes you can get a 50 inch TV into a Mustang to bring home from the local Best Buy and it took us about 10 minutes to figure out how so I'm going to save you guys the time and tell you how we did it.

First off the trunk opening is in fact wide enough to slide the box in but the angle is the problem. Once the box hits the hump for the rear axle at the forward part of the trunk it gets wedged at that's it.

So we leaned both front seats forward, lowered the back seat and were going to slide the TV across, rotate it and slide it into the trunk. The problem was with the seats down the TV box gets wedged and you can't rotate it.

Here is what you have to do. You need three guys.

With the back seats in the up position and the front seats leaned forward slide the TV across the car behind the front seats.

Then the two guys on either side of the car need to lift the lower part of the box up.

Third guy reaches in and pulls the straps to lower the back seats.

Box guys then lower the box back down and it will rest on top of the back seats instead of wedged between the back and front seats.

Rotate the box and slide it into the trunk.

Presto, you've just loaded a 50 inch big screen into a Mustang.

If you get a TV bigger than 50 inches I honestly don't think you'll have any luck. Anything bigger just isn't going to fit.

 

But lets say it would not fit, what then? you be Sh-t out of luck.

 

You do what everybody else does...take it out of the box

 

Nah, I have a lot friends that drive trucks. I would've just called one of them to come help me out. No bigge. I was just about ready to do that in fact when we figured out that the key was to keep the back seats up until you have the TV in position.

 

I brought a 55" home in my old 2014 GT - it worked, with the trunk lid open, partially hanging out, driving VERY slow...box was wedged in real good...I wouldn't recommend this. Out of the box, I assume it would fit fine.

 

Drop the top and things get easy.

 

I think I would get it delivered... I have free delivery with my rewards card there. Who wants a busted led tv?

 

50"

That's like watching a postage stamp

 

I thought about having them deliver it but it would have been the following day and I just didn't want to wait. No way I was going to allow it to get damaged though. It's working great.

 

Baller!!! The biggest TV I own is a 32"... :-)

 

what no pictures wth

 

Sorry, I was too preoccupied with figuring out how to solve the problem to take pictures. lol

 

You could always load it back in the Mustang and take a picture for demonstration purposes

 

 

Ya I understand. I would want it now too. Good to hear all is ok!

 

 

LOL Not now I can't. Box has already been broken down into pieces and carried off to the dump. Sorry.

 

LOL!

 

I did not even try when I try when I recently bought a 65 in. TV. I was able to rent a van from Home Depot for an hour to get it home.

 

No way would a 65 inch fit. I came pretty close to buying a 60 inch but didn't need anything that big for the size room it was going in. You made the right call.
