What kind of gas does a Thunder bird require

Asked by kar4me Feb 18, 2015 at 11:58 PM about the 2005 Ford Thunderbird 50th Anniversary Edition RWD

Question type: General

Hello,
I have tried a thunderbird 2005 for the first time and noticed that both seats were not
locked and could tilt forward. In the cars I drove before, the seats are locked in place
to not tilt forward unless you press a release lever on its side. Could someone with a
Thunderbird 2005 indicate if their seats are the same or if they lock? I am wondering if
the seats are broken in the car I tried??
BTW the electric positioning worked fine and the reclining lever worked fine.
thank you

Do you want to know about the kind of gas to use or about seats? Unleaded regular is all you need.

USE PREMIUM ONLY OR YOU'LL BE DRIVING A VERY GOOD LOOKING PIECE OF CRAP! TRY READING THE MANUAL.

It will run fine on unleaded. If for some reason you think a 13 year old car should perform like a new one then go ahead and buy premium. I run regular in my 1965 390cu/325hp Bird and there is no real difference in performance. If your pocket book is bulging, then buy premium. As for your seat; There is a catch so you can easily swing it forward to let someone in the back seat. This is probably worn or broke. Not a real big deal unless it is important to you. Again, it's what the pocketbook can handle.
