Like pretty much every model in the Ford and Lincoln lineup, production of the Ford Mustang plummeted to new lows in the month of July – in fact, the Flat Rock Assembly plant didn’t build a single pony car in that particular month. This was quite unexpected, even amid the automaker’s typical summer plant shutdowns and the Independence Day holiday, but regardless, Ford Mustang production did manage to bounce back in August before increasing by the slightest margin in September.
In August, FoMoCo built a total of 5,659 Ford Mustang models at Flat Rock, but according to the automaker’s September sales report, it followed that up by producing 5,663 units last month – an increase of four units, or what amounts to a flat month-over-month performance. Aside from churning out 3,031 units in June and zero in July, these numbers are pretty much in line with what we’ve seen through the course of 2024, and bring total Ford Mustang production in this calendar year up to 44,253 units through nine months.
The 2025 Ford Mustang will usher in the arrival of the new 60th Anniversary Package, which adds some heritage-inspired styling elements to the pony car as part of its birthday celebration. That package is limited to 1,965 units, with a handful set to be finished in Brittany Blue, too. Additionally, dual-zone automatic climate control is now standard on all models, which wasn’t previously the case. However, the 2025 Ford Mustang is also set to lose a couple of features – including wireless charging, which was previously standard on the 2024 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Premium, GT Premium, and Dark Horse. Additionally, the 2025 Ford Mustang has also dropped the EcoBoost High Performance Package, which was also available on the 2024 model.
In terms of exterior colors, the 2025 Ford Mustang is dropping four of them from its lineup as well – Atlas Blue Metallic, Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Yellow Splash Metallic Tri-Coat, and Dark Matter Gray Metallic. To partially make up for those losses, the 2025 Mustang is adding two new hues, however – Wimbledon White and Molten Magenta Metallic Tri-Coat. Production of the 2025 Ford Mustang is currently slated to kick off at Flat Rock on on November 4th, 2024, though as is always the case, that date is subject to change.
