MOZA Mustang GTD Wheel Review: On the Bench

I’m a sim racer and amateur racer with a passion for Motorsport, good racecraft and the technical and setup aspect of sim racing.

MOZA’s Ford Mustang GTD wheel is officially licensed, and it’s for the car fan rather than the hardcore sim racer. I’ve had it on the bench, and the manufacturing quality is really nice and the screen is really beautiful. This wheel isn’t released yet BUT the CS Pro is, which I would prefer for serious simulation.

What is the MOZA Mustang GTD wheel?

The MOZA Mustang GTD wheel is an officially Ford-licensed sim racing wheel, styled on the steering wheel in Ford’s Mustang GTD road car. It’s a 330mm D-shaped rim with the Ford blue centre stripe and stitching inspired by the Mustang GTD.

It’s come at a pretty timely point, because the Mustangs are very, very fast in GT3 racing, so it’ll have a big fan base.

If you want to see the real Mustang GTD driven properly, the video below has Max Verstappen in one, with Chris Harris alongside him. Ford put Verstappen in it at Circuit du Sambuc in France in May 2025, and it was a fun video.

Who is it for?

The Mustang GTD wheel is for the generalist, the hobbyist, the gamer and, most importantly, the car fan. It might be that you are not a super high-end, highly serious sim racer with motion and a $2,000 sim steering wheel. You just want to go racing.

That might be driving the streets in Assetto Corsa, or a simpler, more arcade-style game, or just having the authenticity of the officially licensed wheel. It’s for the sim racer who wants a bit of an authentic car feel in his new cockpit.

What we’re really looking at here is something very similar in nature to the wheel in my MOZA Lamborghini Revuelto review, where I said that wheel is more about an authentic cockpit of your favourite car.

Build quality and materials

The manufacturing quality on the Mustang GTD wheel is, overall, really nice. All the buttons, the rim and the leatherette stitching definitely pass the sniff test. I’ve given it a good feel in my hands, and it’s a perfectly good sports car wheel.

It feels solid, and MOZA builds it on an aluminium alloy frame, with carbon fibre reinforced composite face and back plates. The grips are what MOZA calls microfibre leather, and the thumb rests are stitch-free, which MOZA says is for a cleaner look and a more comfortable grip.

The centre pad carries the Mustang pony and the GTD badge. MOZA says it tests the wheel to more than 200,000 button presses, 200,000 rotary encoder pulses, 40,000 toggle switch cycles and a million paddle actuations.

The screen and the lights

The screen on the Mustang GTD wheel is really beautiful. It’s a 2.99-inch display. In MOZA’s Pit House software, the dashboard editor lets you customise the Mustang GTD-inspired layouts, build your own, or import a dashboard someone in the community has shared.

There are 10 RPM LEDs across the top of the screen and 6 flag LEDs at the sides. The RPM lights use telemetry to show you when to shift, and the flag LEDs show flags such as yellow, blue and red. The front buttons, the RPM LEDs and the flag LEDs are all RGB, with 16.7 million colours to choose from. You set the colours, brightness and lighting behaviour in Pit House.

Buttons, rotaries and toggles

On the front of the Mustang GTD wheel there are 12 backlit buttons, and 2 buttons on the rear. There are also 4 rotary encoders, two 7-way funky switches, 2 clickable thumb wheels and 2 toggle switches. A rotary encoder is a knob that clicks round through set positions. The four on the Mustang GTD wheel have twelve positions each, with indicator LEDs built in. TC and BB are marked on the wheel, for traction control and brake bias.

The two toggles have three modes in Pit House. In Button Mode each one is an on/off switch, for things like headlights, wipers, ABS and TC. In Torque Curve Mode they enable or disable a torque curve you’ve configured, and in Application Control Mode they launch or close a PC application you’ve assigned to them.

I’m not the greatest fan of plastic knobs on sim racing wheels, though, and the rotaries here have plastic caps.

The paddles

MOZA fits the Mustang GTD wheel with magnetic shifter paddles and dual-clutch paddles, inspired by the ones on the real Mustang GTD’s steering wheel.

They’re advertised as aluminium anodised hall-effect paddles, but they have a very light, almost plastic feel to them.

Compatibility and mounting

The Mustang GTD wheel is compatible with all currently available MOZA wheelbases. For other bases it has an RJ11 port and connects directly to PC through the MOZA Hub Kit, which MOZA says gives it compatibility with most third-party wheelbases. It mounts through an all-aluminium quick release (the fitting that lets you swap wheels on the base quickly), and the signal runs through a conductive slip ring.

MOZA’s page doesn’t list the platforms the Mustang GTD wheel supports, so there’s no word on console.

How it compares with the MOZA CS Pro

Unlike the Mustang GTD wheel, the CS Pro is a MOZA wheel you can buy at the moment, and I’ve written it up in my CS Pro review.

Spec	Mustang GTD	CS Pro
Rim	330mm, D-shaped	325mm, round
Display	2.99-inch	2.99-inch
Backlit front buttons	12	8
Rotary encoders	4	4
7-way funky switches	2	2
Thumb wheels	2	2
Toggle switches	2	None listed
Paddles	Aluminium (anodised), hall-effect	Forged carbon, hall-effect; 6-paddle option
RPM / flag LEDs	10 / 6	10 / 6
Status	Not yet on sale	On sale

The CS Pro has a round 325mm rim where the Mustang GTD has a 330mm D-shape. The Mustang GTD has 12 front buttons to the CS Pro’s 8, and it has the two toggle switches, which the CS Pro doesn’t list. The CS Pro’s paddles are forged carbon rather than aluminium, and it has a six-paddle option.

Pros and cons

Pros

Officially Ford-licensed, with the Mustang GTD’s blue centre stripe and stitching
Really nice manufacturing quality, and the screen is really beautiful
12 front buttons, 4 rotaries, 2 funky switches, 2 thumb wheels and 2 toggles
Runs on every current MOZA base, and most third-party bases via the Hub Kit

Cons

The rotary caps are plastic
The paddles feel very light, almost plastic, for aluminium
Not on sale yet, and no price or on-sale date from MOZA
MOZA doesn’t say which platforms it supports

Verdict

If you’re the car fan, the hobbyist or the gamer who wants the authentic Mustang GTD cockpit, it’s a nice bit of kit. The plastic rotary caps and the light feel of the paddles are the trade-off on what will be a budget but officially licensed wheel.

I would rather the CS Pro on my setup. But then again, I’m not a huge GT3 fan, and I’m not a huge Mustang fan either. If I wanted to drive a Mustang the way Max Verstappen does in the video above, this is the wheel I’d buy.

Price and release date

The Mustang GTD wheel isn’t on sale. MOZA’s product page has a Notify Me button where the price would be, and MOZA hasn’t announced a price or an on-sale date. It has been on the internet and previewed at various games cons – Gamescom and Sim Gaming Expo so far.

It’s probably going to be really inexpensive, and we’ll update this article when we have a price. MOZA has listed it for Sim Racing Expo 2026 in Frankfurt, 16-18 October.

Keep an eye on our daily price monitor below, because when the Mustang GTD wheel shows up in it, it’s out and officially released.
