Shift-bonk knee.....shift-bonk knee......shift-bonk knee... Salesman, so maybe you show consider the auto-matic...

That motor/trans should be more than fine.

Clean install, serves a purpose while being hidden well when not in use. Well done.

Thanks! Drilling hardened steel up ftl!

If you ever decide to pull anything bigger you may need to install a transmission cooler but a bike and trailer will probably not be an issue (friend of mine with a mustang learned that the hard way).

Yea, I actually looked at a cooler. They're not that expensive or hard to install so I might do it this Summer...

A couple people here were like afraid I'd damage my engine/trans but I believe the Mustang Gt share a engine with the F150 so... Anyway, 200 lb trailer+ 2*400 lb bikes= no problem, I'd imagine. I will change my programmer setting just in case though....

The engine is similar, but not identical. And the trans is different.
Regardless, you should be fine, i believe they are rated at ~2000 lbs. If pulling in hills or stop and go, just pull it out of OD.

Looks good & well hidden. I've had one on my old beater integra which has hauled a bike or two many miles - did so again this past w/e. A buddy with a truck laughed at it when he first saw it at a Gap trip, until I pointed out that my load (1 bike + gear) was exactly the same as his, and I made it there @ ~25mpg - roughly double his mileage hauling.
