Doesn't the premium have that pony projection light that the mach e has? It's on my window sticker.

I ordered the GT Convertible Premium. For me the 360 degree camera, adaptive cruise control are worth it. Lane centering not so much. I love the fact that on the adaptive cruise control I can program how far over or under the speed limit I can go, it reads the speed signs, and adjusts, and keeps spacing if traffic is below what I have it set at. Had it in my 2020 Explorer ST, made sure I ordered it in my 2022 F-150, and made sure it was ordered on the Mustang.

Yes, the pony projection lights has been around since 2015.

You are referring to the optional 401a package as all verts are premium (400a) models. The included CoPilot 360 feature does not include a 360 degree camera.

Stop and Go? So that's the motor turning off and on when standing still etc? Can it be overridden? Or is this something else?

It is my understanding adaptive cruise stop and go (automatics only - manuals get the adaptive but not the stop and go function) allows you to set the cruise and the car will bring you to a stop when traffic dictates and will in turn go when traffic moves. The other stop and go (everyone/most hate) is the automatic engine stop and start - which will turn the engine off at stoplights and then restart it as needed. The adaptive stop and go only functions with the adaptive cruise control. The automatic engine stop and start is a default function mandated by …. Well anyhow, early models suffer from a part shortage and do/may not have the function. As parts supply permits the function and defeat button (must be deactivated manually each engine start) will be added / included. Early models have incurred the gas guzzler tax. Hopefully the tax is not collected once the function is added.

Stop & Go = hitting brakes and gas in traffic for you.
Auto Start/Stop = engine turns off when idling

The memory seats were a plus for me, though the seat back is manual adjust. The Assist+ features may be very useful for long distant driving. My wife's previous car, a Chrysler Pacifica had lousy adaptive cruise control, but her current Kia Telluride has a very nice adaptive system. If Ford's systems can mimic that car's system, then I will be very happy that I opted for the Premium trim, along with being able to set cruise control to a predetermined speed relative to speed limit by GPS. The leather seats and improved sound system are a bonus.

I wonder what is the weight difference. If I recall a base 300a PP1 S550 manual weight in the 3788 range.

I currently have a 2020 300a ca and the lack of memory seats are a non issue to me. Heated seats are nice, used to be I wouldnt care. Having heated seats on other vehicles spoiled me. If I get a base I would get Katzkins as I have on my 2020 car.

Maybe a hundred pounds, probably less. But no one stepping up to a 401a (or a 400a for that matter) would care. Means nothing on the street and the creature comforts are worth every pound.

Unfortunately, I may be one of the few who care.

Yeah, I’m thinking that if nobody cares there probably wouldn’t be a rear seat delete option.

Does anyone know what the actual differences between the 400a and 401a equipment packages are. I just ordered a 2024 GT premium and am now considering switching from 400a to 401a after reading some forums. I am hearing a lot of mixed things about the differences.

This is it. Shouldn’t be any mixed messages.
