Anyone know if the new Mustangs have a spare? I know the Camaros don't.

You can get them.
New 'tangs come with a inflator kit instead of a spare tire.

I don't think they can keep them running long enough to need one .

We just bought a 2016 Mustang GT California edition. It has a spare. But not all Mustangs do. I guess for $45,000 they figure you can have one.

Congratulations, mustangs are great cars. I've always been a Ford man and would love to drive a mustang, maybe a convertible. Man I can almost feel the wind in what's left of my hair.

If you don't have them already I would get run flat tires. Inflator kit won't help in a lot of cases.

I have a 2015 Eco Boost convertible with the 200A package. It came with a spare.

The guy on NBC demonstrated the run-flat tires. He drove over a stop-stick and drove another 50 miles without any trouble at all. I suppose they are especially good if you are trying to avoid the police, but you definitely won't get stuck somewhere because you picked up a nail!

I have a 14 GT. No spare. If you use the green slim junk you have basically ruined the tire and the inflation monitor (expensive to replace both tire and valve) and it will not fix slices in the sidewall. And the car does not have a jack. I went to Big-O, got a rim and tire (make sure the circumference is the same as the other tires) and went to O'Reilly's for a nice floor jack (econo size which will fit under the very low car). The new spare fits perfectly in the wheel well and I keep the boxed jack in the truck with velcro on the bottom of the box to keep it from sliding around. My car came with Perrelli P-Zero tires (very expensive) which are very slippery unless the asphalt and tires are hot. Not one of better choices for traction in Colo, which is mostly too cool to activate the stickiness of the Perrelli's. Eagles or equivalent are a better choice.

The poor comment on Ford reliability was unnecessary and I have not had one problem with my Ford truck or car. At least Ford is not subsidized by the gov't. GMC stands for Gov't Motors Consortium and every one you see on the street is an example of your hard earned taxes at work.

One of the best cars I have ever driven was a Crown Victoria which I drove every day on patrol. No problems at all (other than when the prisoner kicked the window out!).

Mine is a 15 GT Premium w/ Performance Package. No spare, just an inflator with some tire sealer attached.
