The Ford Mustang is a symbol of American muscle and performance and has undergone numerous transformations throughout its storied history. However, one particular iteration that continues to divide opinion is the EcoBoost Mustang.
Introduced in the 2015 model year, the EcoBoost Mustang marked a departure from tradition by featuring a four-cylinder turbocharged engine.
