After production of the all-new S650 generation 2024 Ford Mustang began at the Flat Rock Assembly plant last year, the pony car has seen its fair share of ups and downs, as is common in the automotive world. In fact, Ford Mustang production kicked off the year in January by taking a big dip versus December, though it followed that up by increasing in February, declining in March, and dropping further in April before turning things around in May. However, this roller coaster-like trend continued in June as well.
According to Ford’s June sales report, Ford Mustang production at Flat Rock closed out the month at 3,031 units – which is a rather notable decrease of 2,409 units or 44 percent compared to May’s total of 5,440 units. It’s also by far the lowest month of output for the Ford Mustang in the 2024 calendar year thus far, compared to the previous low of 5,422 in April. Regardless, Ford has now produced a grand total of 32,931 Mustangs through the first six months of 2024.
Meanwhile, the 2024 Ford Mustang ushered in an entirely new generation for the iconic, long-running pony car, bringing with it a host of updates as its competition has since largely disappeared. That includes updated exterior and interior styling, with a jet fighter-like cockpit filled with a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch Sync 4 infotainment screen running video game-inspired graphics.
As was the case with the S550 generation, the 2024 Ford Mustang can be had with either the 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost or the 5.0L V8 Coyote engines, though both have received some updates for the new year, and a more potent version of the latter can be found in the brand new, range-topping Dark Horse – which has inspired an entirely new motorsports push in recent months, too.

I went to Ford Stealership and they wanted 65k for the GTs there. I said no way the add on’s were ridiculous. 300 for floor mat the addendum sticker added the mop and glow protectants that are useless all in all another 650 dls.
The 24s are too expensive, dealers mark up the price, add on extras no one needs, and the interest rates are high. No wonder sales are dropping. Smart folks that want a Mustang will be happy with a lightly used 18-23 model, especially if they are not a fan of the 24 exterior and mishmash tablet dash. I’m sorry Ford, but I do not see how the 24 is an improvement over the 15-23 years.
Historically, Ford has offered high value propositions to the market. It’s been a friend of the working man since the model T. But recent management has deserted this, referring disparagingly to “commodity” cars as something that Ford will avoid. The first Mustangs were a great example of high value, the Baby Boomer’s first car. OK Ford, you play your hand, we will play ours. The Cubans have shown us how to get along without buying new cars. Tourists travel there and see American cars from the 50s in daily service. It’s even a tourist attraction. I’ll miss buying new, but you really can run a car for decades. Besides, the older cars don’t have all the electronic garbage. Does anyone really PREFER that stuff? Keeping old Mustangs is big. There are lots of after-market parts.
Now the only thing Ford cares about these days is cost cutting, giving the customers less for their money, and average transaction prices.
I wonder when Flat Rock is supposed to get the additional product promised to them in the UAW contract? It could certainly use it.
