New 2026 Mustang GT Convertible (Orange Fury) owner

Original Post:

Traded in my 2018 Kona Blue for a 2026 Orange Fury Mustang GT MT82, 401A, Active exhaust, Nite Pony Package, Space Gray interior with orange seat belts. Coming from S550 to S650, I’m a little disappointed with Ford. Removal of light up sill, homelink, sunglass cubby, spoiler removal on non PP and losing 1 cubic feet in trunk space on convertible. Makes me feel like a slight downgrade instead of an upgrade. I didn’t buy a 2025 because of bland exterior color choices. Luckily I can order the visor with homelink, sunglasses cubby and door sills and it’s easily replaceable. On the plus side I love the active exhaust and after a few upgrades hopefully I won’t miss my S550. So far in 3 days I replaced the door sills (FORScan still doesn’t work for my 2026 to active it), switch out the ugly antenna, and 3D printed a charging mat.

I've only owned one ragtop in my life, and it only took one to convince me I'd never own another. Apparently you like them, and I'm sure they're better than they used to be. Good luck on your purchase.

I wanted a convertible, then I thought of all the envious dirtbag losers carrying knives, and knew I'd be replacing tops on a regular basis.

They're the same people that key cars.

Premium coupe has all those things...

To the Op - Very nice and enjoy your new ride. Love the color. If you get a chance, add pics with the top down showing the interior and belts - Would like to see how that looks with the exterior color.

Ford de-contented the 2026 "premium" models of the items the OP listed above.

True. I hope they're plagued by the fleas of a thousand camels.

I have owned various convertibles for three decades, and during that time, NOT one incident of malicious damage to the top. Having said that, I live in a rural community and my convertibles have never been daily drivers. But, they do get driven - a lot - from spring thru fall, all over the country.(road trips) I think driving a convertible also requires a heightened awareness of your surroundings when traveling so as to avoid putting the car in a place(s) that attracts attention. (maybe contrary to why many buy Mustangs) Ps Having finally given up motorcycles, I can't imagine not having a convertible as long as I am able ......

Nice color... makes you excited just to look at it!

Like the color

Not sure if 550 had sunglass but none of the vert 650s do. I like the little antenna where did you get it. the one I got didn't line up with the base good. No verts come with spoilers even with PP :( but you can add one. lots of post on it in here.

I liked my GT convertible so much I purchased another. I purchased my first mustang in April of 1964 after coming home from army. The color was canary yellow with 289.

I have a 2026 GT Convertible on order. How did you order the visor with HomeLink? What caused the trunk size to be reduced by 1 cu ft?

I still can’t believe Ford got rid of home link and lighted sill plates. Not only are the sill plates not lighted, but they’re just plain black plastic as well. They couldn’t even be bothered to include the nicer looking style.

I love my 24 GT Conv. I have owned a variety of Mustang conv for the last 20 years. My first Mustang conv was 1992. I have owned conv since my 1968 GTO. I have never had an vandalism on any of them. I even leave them in parking lots with the top down. No problem. The enjoyment I get from top down driving is great. I would not let the fear of vandalism prevent you from getting one.
