What is a 4X?

[bassman28]

I've done a decent amount of reading on Mach E's, GT, GTPE, R1, etc. I hadn't seen 4X before here being used and I feel like it might only be by one person?

The "4x" indicates that the car is AWD. It isn't a model number or any real reference beyond an aesthetic indicator.

The 4 indicates AWD. The X indicates extended range battery (big battery, not standard range)

From my prior 21 Premium 4X.

And on '25/newer, there is no ____X on the door scripts (regardless of standard range or extended range)

Maybe they removed the X because it reminded people of Elmo?

Or, maybe they shipped AWD orders with RWD by mistake?

___ what does the X have to do with RWD vs. AWD?

Google:

On a Ford Mustang Mach-E, the 4X badge indicates a specific drivetrain and battery combination:

4: Represents All-Wheel Drive (AWD). The car is equipped with dual electric motors, powering all four wheels for better traction and performance.

X: Represents the Extended-Range battery. This is the larger battery pack available for the vehicle, which provides a longer driving range per full charge.

Ford officially removed the "X" from the door badges starting with the 2025 model year.

Don’t forget they also sent the wrong battery!

Oh my, those were some funny posts back in the "beginning"!!!

Who remembers the woman that thought her car had lane change built in (before they actually built it in)??? That one still makes me chuckle!!!

But the X is extended range, not AWD.

Clearly, it's because they accidently send standard range batteries out instead of extended all winter long.

Or maybe the "X" kept getting ripped off the door by the automatic car wash (like on my '21 model) and they just decided to stop tempting fate and removed it altogether.

Ford thought their brand was at risk of catching strays from the Toyota Bz4x

How can you tell which battery you actually have?
Standard or extended range?
I have a 2025 GTPE which is supposed to have extended range. The window sticker says 91kw.

 

[jvsone]

8th digit of your vin should be an X. Plus all 25 GT's should have the extended range battery.

That's how.
