Is the interior of the 4 door Jeep big enough for the family? I’ve never been in one.

I thought the mustang was what I wanted
- Thread starter cbr repsol
- Start date
I told my wife, if we ever moved to a warm climate I'm going to buy another Mustang/Cobra and daily drive it. Life is too short. I don't own a GT350 or GT500, just a GT PP with exhaust, CAI, tune and some cosmetic stuff, but daily driving a manual 450 hp car to work puts a smile on my face everyday around 7:30AM.
I have put 4,000 miles on it since June, so we still cart the kids to practices, school, etc. in another (more sensible) vehicle.

it's all about smiles per the gallon! We have a suburban and tahoe for family duties and I have my toys...you can have a shitty day brightened considerably by your hotrod!
So true.^^
As soon as I start it in the morning, I'm in a GREAT mood. Roush full exhaust takes the throaty V8 to another level.
God, even planning a big dollar build is fun. I do have nervous butterflies when ordering high dollar parts. But then I think about what those parts will let me do... then I still freak the **** out about spending the money. But I start to smile too haha
Viagra for the soul!
I don’t need that large of a truck.
Looking at f150s with a 5.0 or raptor they can get up to 50 to 60k as well . So my thoughts were to go f250 since they are around the same price.

As far as financial I can afford both car payment. Not saying I’m rich or anything because most of us are a paycheck away from not eating. I do ok and work night shift. Pull in about 75k on paper. I work nights so I can work on cars during the day. That usually get me about 10 to 15 k extra a year depending on how many cars I get . I occasionally buy cars , fixem and sell for a profit. Sometimes it’s really good and sometimes it’s a lot of work for not much return. But all and all I enjoy it.
There is nothing I dislike about my new mustang . The plans were to add boost to it for more enjoyment. I was hoping it didn’t develop the “tick” some are experiencing. That’s why I’ve held off on adding the boost . Didn’t wanna have issues and no warranty .
I had talked to the wife about a f150 and she’s a no go . We had a lifted 250 which she loved . She actually cried when we sold it but it was a huge money pit 6.0

I had fun cars and raised kids. At a certain point the kids are off doing their own thing and it's just you and the wife. I liked having the car as barrier for me and the wife to escape together. You need to date your wife and do alone stuff or else you're just running a 24 hour daycare together.
Having said that I will say I enjoy taking my F-150 on road trips and pretty much everywhere. It rides like a car, it's comfortable, gets good mpg's. It fits in most all places a car does and most places a Super duty don't. Victorian hotel parking lots, downtown, Atlantic City parking garages, random trails in the back woods of Maine.
If I could do it all over again I would've gotten a Platinum F150 with the 5.0 and 10 spd and put a Whipple on it.

Kid car seat situation is decent now.
My oldest is 10 so she’s good. Middle daughter is gonna be 8 next month ,so no more booster. Youngest is gonna be 3 next month so still in car seat. Jeep ,4Runner and corolla have plenty of room for all the girls.
I don’t really wanna get screwed on the mustang so I might just have to enjoy it.
The Jeep is only 3 years left on payment and I actually have a year of payments in under the mattress . Lol
So I think I could endure the next few years on the loan till paid for.

Seems like you will easily be able fit your 2 older girls in the Mustang for quite a while. You could spin it as a daddy-daughters hobby to go to car cruises and car shows. The little one probably wouldn't be entertained long by such events anyway.
F150 four door.
I own a F250 dee-sil, and the mileage stated above is correct (like 15.7 mpg) and dee-sil is like $1.00 a gallon more than gas here.
Unless you tow, go F150. Get bored?, put a blower on it.

Mine already came with two little snails.
When my kids were younger I went the CTS V route. I learned that I can't enjoy my toys without including them (5 seater). In your case I would have gone 392, I never liked the current gen Mustang. Charger is the best of both worlds. The truck is a great option too but can add up as you know with truck mods.
Profound
Op, it seems you’re lamenting your purchase, so just dump the Stang. Perhaps hold off on replacing it until you’re confident in what you want.
