Is the handling package a rare option on the Dark Horse?

[tktrain]

Yes! The most visible distinctions of the handling package from the standard non-handling package Dark Horse is a bigger rear wing with gurney flap, a more aggressive front splitter and fatter tires. The tires with the handling package are Pirelli P Zero RS 315/30R19 wide in the rear and 305/30R19 in front. Less visible distinctions of the handling package include an engine oil cooler, a magnetic damping suspension, adjustable strut mounts, revised chassis tuning, differential cooler and front towing hooks.

My non-HP 2025 DH Premium Says it has engine/transmission/differential coolers right on the window sticker.

Even though this is a small sample size, it seems to be on average, about 40-45% of people that bothered to put their info into the unofficial registry, have the handling pack. Overall numbers could be way different of course.

My DH has the handling pack, and though the ride is stiff in some ways, I wouldn't trade it for anything. It has a very aggressive appearance and I like it.

Look - the more AGGRESSIVE stance, larger wheels and tires, and other Mach1 and GT500 goodies passed on the the DarkHorse was worth the extra money for me.

Plus, they are chassis serialized and as you know the cheaper variant IS NOT

I ordered my 2025 Dark Horse Premium with the handling package back in September of 2024. With the supply issues related to the handling package and the water intrusion recall, I didn’t get it until November of 2025, more than a year after I ordered it.

I am told that the due to these issues and also due to low demand, the handling package is a rarely chosen option on Dark Horses, making these Dark Horses extremely rare. Does anybody know about Ford’s production numbers for the handling package on the Dark Horse?

I just bought a new with 4 miles 2025 Black Dark Horse with the HP premium no recaro which I didn't want and automatic. I paid 69,836 plus fees originally listed for 79,000.00 on car sales online. I tracked down the dealership that had he wanted 75,000. I told him text me when you can't sell it. Then over a week goes by and I was looking online at BMW M2. I looked up the dealership with the dark horse. It was under 70,000.00. So I am trading in my 14 Shelby Gt500 for it. I had a mini stroke and my left arm is messed up plus a left hip replacement that didn't go well. I am not going to mod it just my daily going to Doctors. I tried buying a ford bronco the baby version. I had it 3 months and I was falling asleep driving it. The best part when I traded in for the shelby. The dealership gave me 46,000.00 and I paid 42,000.00. If you remember a while back dealerships need used vehicles they were desperate. I traded in my 2019 Bullit for 45,000.00 after 3 years of owning it. I paid 46,000.00 and the dealership bought all my parts that I replaced with mods 2,600.00.

I do not think they release numbers by options other than color and transmission but I could be wrong.

Go Birds! ??
