Ford Mustang production has been on a bit of a roller coaster ride as of late, all of which began during the changeover from the outgoing S550 generation to the all-new S650 2024 model. After routine quality checks turned up a few issues with the redesigned pony car, FoMoCo ironed things out and deliveries began shortly afterward. Production of the 2024 Ford Mustang subsequently began to ramp up at the Flat Rock Assembly plant in the month of July, reaching 4,349 units, though things did taper off toward the end of the year before increasing in December and declining in January. According to Ford’s latest sales report, that up and down trend continued in February, too.
Ford Mustang production totaled 5,687 units in November before increasing by around 15 percent or 846 units to 6,553 pony cars in December. However, that number fell down to 5,926 units in January – a decrease of around 9.6 percent, or 627 units. In February, things bounced back somewhat as Mustang production increased to 6,775 units, which is 14.3 percent or 849 units more than January.
As Ford Authority recently reported, FoMoCo’s overall inventory currently ranks among the highest in the industry, which could be playing a role in this slow – or non-existent, really – ramp up. Regardless of the reason, the 2024 Ford Mustang is all-new in many ways, ranging from its sheetmetal to updated suspension and powertrains, coupled with a high-tech interior with a flat-bottom steering wheel, a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster, and a new Sync 4 powered 13.2-inch infotainment screen.
Customers can choose from the base 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost or the 5.0L V8 Coyote engines, the latter of which represents the fourth-generation version of that particular powerplant. Additionally, the 2024 Ford Mustang lineup added a brand new, range-topping variant dubbed the Dark Horse, which has since served as the basis for a massive motorsports push across multiple series.
