It's hard to believe that an individual can create a better app than a company, with huge resources, can make for their own product. I've been using this one on my Android phone, and I think when Ford releases their public API, this app will probably get even better. Thanks @kennelh !

Thanks again Rick - and understood. But the term "Summer Tires" is a poor choice, as summer temps could easily get below 45F where they sell the MachE.
Also, I've purchased many cars in my life, and I've never even considered researching whether the tires on the car I'm buying were appropriate...
@RickMachE - understood. But it seems kind of dumb for Ford to put Summer ONLY tires on a car that it sold in all climates. Now that I'm learning more about it I would have expected a huge sticker on my windshield that said "DON'T DRIVE ON THESE TIRES WHEN IT IS UNDER 45F DEGREES - THEY MAY...
Agreed, but it seems more logical for Ford to put all seasons on every GTPE and let those who want summer tires get them (as that would eliminate any safety issues).
Thanks @RickMachE, appreciate the advice. Seems weird that Ford would put unsafe tires on cars that they sell in colder climates. All seasons would probably be a smarter choice.
Good thread! I just traded my Ford Options 2021 Prem AWD ER for 2023 GTPE and love it. I thought my Premium was fast, but the GTPE is scary fast. Fun!
More tips from the seasoned GTPE owners are welcome - especially about the "jail bars" and other things unique to the GTPE.

I pulled the trigger on a 2023 GTPE in Rapid Red. Out the door price was 52,318 (factored in was $27,500 they gave on trade-in for my 2021 Prem AWD ER). My last options payment would be $25,110.

Whew. Finally pulled the trigger. Found another dealer near me and negotiated a 2023 GTPE in Rapid Red. Out the door price was 52,318 (factored in was $27,500 they gave on trade-in for my 2021 Prem AWD ER). My last options payment would be $25,110.

Test drove the GTPE today. Ride was good but there was noticeably more wind noise than my 2021 Prem AWD. Seemed to be coming from the mirrors, mostly on passenger side.
Go figure. Service Dept checked and there is a Ford Bulletin on that problem - and the fix was not performed on that GTPE...
@Hammered , we haggled on those. I wanted them to get to the 52,000 range out the door and that is how they itemized it.
Non-tax fees are state motor vehicle stuff.
Was thinking of going to dealer tomorrow to test drive and possibly do the trade (2021 Prem AWD ER) at Options end in May with $25k Ford buyout) to 2023 GTPE in Star White:
New wrinkle - the initial Internal Sales Doc they sent me shows 6 miles on car. Asked for confirmation and salesperson...
