You do not need to use the Ford Build site beforehand. Knowledge or insight of the Order Guide and option codes is all you need.
If you have the order guide with the codes and know what you want, that should work for them. They'll use your references to place an order in Ford's Web Order Entry...
In my area, for DDs, it's limited supply. Local dealers I can drive by every few days, their lots have much less inventory than before.
I went to my Toyota dealership last week. New cars in inventory: 1. Seriously. The salesman explained they are still taking orders, with waits.
This dealer...
$90000 CDN converts to $65569 USD. A Canadian buyer is paying 37% more than a US client would for the same product (at today's exchange rate, $1.37 CDN buys $1 USD).
A member from Korea chimed in earlier of pricing, feeling the same pain. Inflation is one factor. The appreciation of the USD...
With respect to that dealer, their allocations, orders from other Mustang buyers, it is your place in line.
Lower numbers are better, especially if that dealer is placing a large amount of orders.
I'm afraid overseas buyers will be at a disadvantage for two reasons, one much more than the other:
1. Inflation: affecting us all and the overall price of the car.
2. The US dollar: it has appreciated markedly against virtually every other currency in the last year.

Ford will be reporting numbers tomorrow, in a new format.
Previously, Ford reported by region. Now, Ford will report by division.
Watching the latest video, I'm curious how the screens will appear and operate in an environment with a lot of light, like FL, TX, CA, etc. Maybe it's the angle of the camera, but there seems to be a lot of glare and reflection.
You are correct: 91 is not required. Eighty-seven is the minimum.
Ford recommends running 91 for the car to operate at its best. I feel like I'm compromising something if I don't.
Welcome @Ford Motor Company . :clap: Nice to have you with us.
Something all of us would appreciate, regardless of the generation or MY we own, is Mustang production insight. We love statistics. MY, # made, options selected, colors chosen, etc. We'd really appreciate publishing this data as...
Octane requirements for the S550 5.0 were the same. I'd be surprised if they decreased with the DH.
The DH is a performance-oriented machine. If the cost of fuel is a bother for a future owner of a DH, it's a tell they are over-budget and should consider buying something else.
I'd love to see...
I'm not sure they'll change the button. My truck for example, has buttons which are there and non-functional (options I didn't buy). Same with some dash lights. Ford might do same since it's cheaper. They could also just leave the space blanked out, with no markings. Replace with a different...
Early on I think, yes, things will be difficult. As things progress, I expect things to return to something resembling normal. I believe it's too soon to tell if that will happen MY24 or not.
Will there be a long-term backlog of the DH? I don't think so. Initially? Yes. Always? No. The car is...
If attempting to use a new laptop...
There are a few things they'd have to work through. I'm not doubting they'll come up with a solution. It'll help if they have employees still with them or in contact that could provide deepest insight from the first prototypes.
Physically, they need to have...
This discussion kind of leans into what to do when picking up the car. From my experience...at pickup.
- Do a thorough visual inspection. Most items captured are harmless, but some might not be
- Get in an drive the car, just down the street even and back. Pop the hood, look underneath the car...
I prefer to use the term, "quaint". LOL. 😁
I think every generation of every model goes through a "blue" period where it's just not "in". Things fall out of flavor. People look to the latest. Thinking long, long-term, some models and their characteristics become welcome again, some don't. A lot...
I've come to love my car's imperfections. Good for a laugh. :giggle:
Whomever was working on my car on the left side was either tired, recovering from the weekend, facing unemployment, or under the influence. :crazy:
- Driver's side door a little off. The upper part of the door is a bit more...
If you go back and look at the GT PP vs. Mach 1 vs Mach 1 HP, there were subtle physical differences between the suspensions. IMO, the Magneride units installed to support those different suspensions operated differently, with different car suspension tunes supporting those uniquely-optioned...
If she hasn't taken it already, confirm your e-mail with her. As your build moves through the different stages, Ford will send update e-mails (Scheduled for Production, VIN, In Production, etc.). Dealers often send complimentary e-mails as well. Post sale, e-mails can continue from Ford, for...
I don't mind the all-digital displays a bit. My concerns are of styling and lack of integration. Multiple screens and features: great. But don't just 1) throw a second screen inside and 2) place it in an interior with throwback bits from the 80s. A more consistent interior theme and appearance...
Some statistics on sales, prices. The market in general continues to be strong.
