Dark Horse 24 vs 25 Differences

[keithwalton]

What? That can't be right.

That is correct, ford upped the price and removed features / options.
Auto became a free option tho.

Also things to watch out for on '24s is the clutch line not being connected correctly to the firewall on manual cars. Ended up in one burnt out car and alot recalled for a checkup

I have an Otter box cover on my phone so the charger in my Dark Horse does not charge the phone.

Hmm, have otterbox (commuter) on mine and it charges............could be the style otterbox.

Cmon Ford, its bad enough you waited until 2024 to install basic wireless connectivity technology in the Mustang. Now one year layer you dropped something literally every new car is available with? That is absolute hot garbage.

It might be the metal stick on thing for the mount I have.Never thought of that I'm going to take it off and see if it charges?

Love the wireless charger. It does get hot when having applications working in the background, but not too much to make it dangerous hot. Most of the time it charges perfectly fine.
I rather have it, then not having it. No annoying wires around my dash. When I take my GoPro, I charge it inside the armrest compartment.

I'd almost bet the reason for the lack of wireless charging is based on supply issues as they're no doubt made China.

I don't know how many sub-assemblies for US sold vehicles come from China, but I'd bet it is a rather high percentage. As well all know, automotive bean counters are notorious for cost cutting in places they shouldn't be like safety systems for example. This IS NOT a Ford issue per se, but one across the whole industry. It is all in the name of profit for the share holders.

All this makes me wonder how many folks here own Ford stock? I do!

As a former Ford Technician, I saw very few parts with a China label on them. Most of the labels were Mexico or Canada.

Agreed. Tons of car parts, including electronics are made in Mexico.

I had the otterbox defender on my galaxy S21 ultra and it charged it. Just needed to open the lighter cover so the phone could slide under to fit. If I didn't open it the phone wouldn't sit all the way down to charge. Try it if you haven't already. Good luck

Thanks I'll try that.

You all are missing the Big Thing. 2024 is the Only 60th Anniversary year so 2025 is not the same

While 2024 is the 60 year anniversary of the mustang being in production, all of the "'64 1/2s" were technically titled as 1965s. So from a model year perspective it is the 2025s that are considered the 60th anniversary cars with some of them badges as such.

Well, the 2015s were badged 50th anniversary, and the 2025s are badged 60th anniversary.

EDIT:
weirdly the 2004s were badged 40th. So Ford hasn't been very consistent.

It means absolutely nothing unless you get an anniversary model

Actually all '64 1/2s were not titled as '65s. Most were, but there is documentation that shows some were titled as '64s. There was also a lot of Ford marketing referring to them as 64 1/2s . They were however all vin stamped as '65s.

Not arguing with you, just sharing a fun fact. We can go into the weeds on the many differences of 64.5 and 65 quite easily. Its a common debate among classic mustang owners. I've owned 4 first gen Mustangs over the years.
