Did it have traction control? If not, then no ABS.

Weren't all vehicles required to have ABS starting ~10-15 years ago? There's no way that thing didn't have ABS. I could be making that up though haha. My truck has ABS with no traction control

Fiddy isnt going anywhere


NT is 2wd but does have some very tasteful mods if you can "get by" without 4x4

If you got by with a Mustang, you can do a 2wd truck!

I do . . . You're more into "I actually need 4wd territory" though

mustang never went hunting, offroading and such. Plus the 4-low is nice to have when pulling stuff out.

I'll post the window sticker from my dad's if you really want to see that ABS was optional. I couldn't believe it and neither could he.

I understand that, as that's how it was on my 2002. I was referring to Mustangs. ABS & Traction Control were optional on V6's at the time. Traction Control was included when you selected ABS.

Huh, I could've sworn ABS became a federal mandate a decade ago on all vehicles. Perhaps it was for trucks/SUVs only . . .

My dad's 5 speed 07 Mustang GT has TC and ABS, but it's a GT premium so it's probably got a lot of the fancy shmancy crap on it. It's a convertible too . . . at least it's not baby blue . . . it's dark blue
