Confirmed: 2024 Mustang Order Banks + Build & Price Open 3/27, OKTB Expected Early Summer

Thankfully I'm number one at my dealer for one

I take it this is the part that shouldnt have been said was the super limited availability of the Dark Horse?

Agreed, ideally I'd like for that to be available at least a week before to give people time to think through their options.

IMO, the delay with the build & price website launching is the bigger disappointment here than the order banks opening in March.

Its a full 2 months earlier than the S550/2015 order banks opened (May 20 2014). They had the first deliveries in September, so hopefully that means first deliveries in July for S650s.

There's a reason that system is internal. If you have watched anything from any auto maker in the past, I don't know 10 years, why would you have expected anything different?

My point is if the originally date was 1/14, and it never changed and today they came out with 3-27-23 I wouldn’t have been mad, but someone literally went in the system and updated the date to 1-23-23. Why put that info out for dealers to see if it’s not gonna be true.

I agree. It speaks more to Ford's ability to even deliver anything this year. I mean, Im positive it doesnt take that long to dev out a common builder

My point is, none of that has been officially released. You are upset because someone leaked a thing that was very wrong, twice. Thats not Ford's fault. There may be other things here that are Ford's fault - they have plenty of time to actually screw this up.

The biggest screw up of all would be if Ford limits 1 Dark Horse per dealer.

ONE PER DEALER?! This is feeling like they're pulling a 2015 GT350...

Okay, guess I'm going GT then.

More like Mach 1 dude is just throwing out information everywhere

He corrected and said AT LEAST one per dealer.

Got it, then I will remove my comment as to not spread false or inaccurate (potentially) claims

Dude you literally JUST joined like a few days ago, everyone on the thread was hype, even people with ford contacts like stangmode came out and confirmed from his ford rep that gave him a raptor R to test. Again, for ford to actually go and update the date and not follow through is shitty no matter which way you slice it

I remember hearing " We don't have a limited production number for the Dark Horse" or something along the lines but it's sounding like there will be a #/# in time or currently in the shadows.

Dude, WTF does my join date have to do with anything ? You have zero idea of my connections or knowledge and frankly, look back about a 45 minutes and see who was right?

Resting your hopes on leaks is silly and all there has been to this point is leaks. Frankly all there is as of now is leaks. There are a lot of legit reasons to push order and production dates. There is ZERO reason to rush order / production to serve forum hype.

The BEST thing Ford could do is get this launch right and have the right amount of cars to sell, period.

I get it, I really do. Ford could and should do a much better job with communicating this information to their dealers.

That said, @Blueberrystang2000 made it clear that not only are those dates on FMCDealer supposed to be dealer confidential (specifically because they know it would make customers upset if the dates are missed), but he also pointed out that Ford corporate has put a disclaimer on the portal that those dates were not firm and could change at any time without warning or explanation.
