Today is day 2 with the Mustang. The auto Rev matching is just the coolest thing. I do it in my daily driver (04 Ion) to help reduce clutch wear, but the Mustang hits them perfectly. No throttle necessary on takeoff as it automatically idles up to prevent a stall. I can see the clutch lasting a...
Just got my '24 GT. The auto Rev matching is really something.
My daily driver is an 04 Ion with a 5 speed. I Rev match my downshifts in that to preserve clutch life. I'm pretty good at it, but the Mustang just hits every downshift like butter. No bucking at all.
To my surprise, the car...
Ford tracking site says car is finally in production. (nearly a year of waiting now!)
However, I am still unable to pull a window sticker from fordwindowsticker.com.
I was led to believe the sticker became available a week or two before production.
There were 2000 outstanding orders last week, then only 800 this week. I was almost certain at that rate, they would've scheduled out the remaining orders today. Guess not.
Here's an interesting take on the UAW's latest move:

It might be possible that I'm misunderstanding how allocations work under Ford's system. Im coming from an understanding of GMs system, where allocations are handed out to dealerships each week. If the dealer gets an allocation for your build, then the dealer submits it to the factory.
I'm not...
Ordered 9/27, received confimation email from Ford within minutes of leaving dealer. Received order form from dealer with sales code and order code. Those checked out when using Ford chat earlier today.
Build was base GT with Grabber Blue, Space Gray interior, MT, active exhaust, upgraded to...
I did get the confirmation email within about 20 minutes of leaving the dealer. I called today to inquire, as I was sure my build would've went through. No npp or performance pack.
The first dealer i tried had no interest in taking an order and instead tried to direct me to premium models they...
They say it's still on process from the date i submitted the order.
What are the odds that a dealer would just sit on an order, hoping they could get a buyer to purchase a higher specced and priced stock order later on down the road?
I called my dealer. He said they think my order got "pulled" for scheduling last thursday. Not sure what that means. Nothing in email.
I had a bad experience with Mustang's competitor where I ordered something when the banks opened and never got the allocation. I just don't want a repeat of...
It looks like some scheduling was supposed to happen today. It looked like they wanted to schedule builds for December into January.
Is that all done today, or spread out over the next few weeks? If I were to be scheduled today, when would I know? If I wasn't scheduled today, do I wait until...
Here's the way I understand it:
There are 1600 outstanding orders to be built (not including dark horse)
Starting at the first row:
Ford has the capacity to build 50% of those outstanding orders as GT's, but only 30% of the outstanding orders are GT's. Good news for anyone with an outstanding...
