What is the minimum ground clearance of the Ford Mustang?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Ford Mustang is 15mm. It can pass over speed bumps slowly without issues, but caution is needed when entering steep underground garages. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the chassis and the ground when the car is fully loaded, reflecting the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven surfaces without collision. The Ford Mustang is a hardtop sports car with a 2-door, 4-seat body structure. Its dimensions are 4794mm in length, 1916mm in width, and 1391mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2720mm. The suspension system features MacPherson strut independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension.
As a Mustang owner, I've actually measured the ground clearance of my 2023 2.3T model. The official unloaded minimum ground clearance is 130mm, which is about the height of an iPhone placed vertically. However, in real-world driving, you'll notice the front bumper's lower edge is particularly prone to scraping against speed bumps in underground parking lots. When fully loaded, the ground clearance might drop to around 110mm. I'd recommend installing a rubber protective strip - last time I went on a mountain road trip, I scraped off half a patch of paint. These figures are mid-range for sports cars in this class, slightly higher than the Porsche 718 but about 2cm lower than the Toyota 86.
