Alpine Ford – Which Engines Are Available on the 2025 Ford Mustang for Drivers around Canon City, CO?
Choosing the right powertrain is the foundation of a great Mustang® experience. If you are weighing engines on the latest lineup, here is what you should know before you build or schedule a test drive. The 2025 models center on two compelling choices—each with its own personality and strengths—so you can match the car to your daily rhythm and weekend plans around the Front Range.
The 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 is quick to respond and rewarding during everyday driving. The Modified Gen-4 5.0L Coyote™ V8 in GT models brings classic Mustang® thunder and linear power delivery, while the Dark Horse™ sits at the peak as the most powerful naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote™ V8 Mustang coupe ever. All are supported by a chassis that balances stability and agility, with selectable drive modes to fine-tune character on the fly.
- 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4: Turbocharged response, confident midrange pull, and a lighter-feel front end that makes the car feel nimble in everyday traffic and on curvy roads.
- Modified Gen-4 5.0L Coyote™ V8: A beloved V8 soundtrack, strong torque, and a broad power band that rewards smooth inputs and longer highway runs.
- Dark Horse™ Coyote™ V8: The most powerful NA 5.0-liter Coyote™ V8 Mustang coupe to date, built for drivers who want maximum V8 potency and track-focused feel.
Beyond the engines, the Mustang® cockpit embraces the driver with digital, configurable displays. From the industry-first, key fob-controlled remote rev to enthusiast-friendly Track Apps*, the technology amplifies the engine you choose rather than distracting from it. If you expect regular track days or autocross, options like the available Drift Brake and performance tire packages can help you grow skills responsibly in a controlled environment.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Which engine is best for my daily commute with occasional spirited driving?
The 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 is a smart pick if you prioritize nimble response and easy drivability Monday through Friday, with enough punch to make weekend drives engaging. Pair it with selectable drive modes and you will find a versatile setup that adapts to your day.
Who should choose the Modified Gen-4 5.0L Coyote™ V8?
Pick the V8 if you want a classic Mustang® character—immediate throttle, strong passing power, and that unmistakable sound. It suits longer highway miles, mountain drives, and anyone who wants a more visceral connection to the car.
Why consider the Dark Horse™?
For drivers targeting the most powerful naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote™ V8 Mustang coupe ever, the Dark Horse™ delivers. It is engineered for serious enthusiasts who plan to use performance packages and track-focused features regularly.

All benefit from the most digital, customizable, driver-centric cockpit ever in a Mustang®, plus available Track Apps*, Ford Co-Pilot360™ with a Lane-Keeping System, and the industry-first remote rev. Together, these features enhance awareness, performance learning, and everyday convenience.
If you are mapping out a build, think about your week—commutes, errands, and highway miles—then your weekends. The EcoBoost® brings a light, eager feel that excels in traffic and on twisty routes. The V8 raises the sensory ceiling with deep reserves and a timeless soundtrack. Either way, you can tailor the experience with appearance options like the limited Mustang® 60th Anniversary Package or the available Matte Clear Film for satin-like protection and curb appeal.
