Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2021 GT.
The 2021 Ford GT requires 6.2 qt of 5W‑30 oil and is mated to an Automatic (AM7) transmission, delivering EPA‑rated fuel economy of 12 mpg city, 18 mpg highway and 14 mpg combined. While these lubrication and drivetrain details define the vehicle’s powertrain specifications, the model’s reliability track record is only logged for the 2004‑2018 period, during which the 2006 model year accumulated the highest number of complaints (five) and the 2004 model year the lowest (one). As a result, the 2021 model year lies outside that historical complaint window, meaning its reliability standing relative to those earlier years is not reflected in the supplied data.
