When do order banks open for 2025 Mustangs?

[roadpilot]

I just checked with our Master Scheduler (we produce a major component for the vast majority of all North American market Ford and Lincoln vehicles). We're not seeing any release authorizations for any 2025 MY products. Then again, we are in March, so we are pretty far out from changeover.

Other than the smallest mom & pop Ford dealerships, this doesn't matter. They place dealer orders all the time in order to have product on the lot. If you were placing an order for something they'd have a hard time selling (pink w/purple polka dots and a unicorn horn on the hood), they'd likely make put a non-refundable deposit down. But for most anything else, no.

I have literally lost count the number of times I've stopped in to see my salesman, we've worked up something on the ordering system to see what it would look like, and he simply submitted it as a dealer order, even if I didn't want it. When I've ordered vehicles, I've never put a nickel down, and my orders are typically very high-end, highly optioned vehicles.

They basically told me the same thing when I put my order in. Unless it was optioned in a way that makes it extremely difficult to sell they had no problem putting in the order with no deposit required.

I tell people all the time: If you're not wanting some crazy custom order but they want a non-refundable deposit, turn around and walk out the door - they are crooks, and that won't be the only time they screw you.

I'm thinking we can sort of predict the new colors by looking at what is currently offered for 2024 and deducing what they probably WON'T replace.

White is staying, obviously. So is black. Of the two shades of red, at least one will stay, as well as at least two of the three shades of blue (especially seeing has how Grabber Blue and Vapor Blue are popular). There are three silver/gray colors with Iconic Silver, Carbonized Grey, and Dark Matter Grey. I'd wager that silver and Dark Matter Grey stay, with Carbonized being a toss-up. That leaves Splash Yellow, which I have a hard time seeing remain if I'm honest.

That means these colors are more likely to be replaced:

Splash Yellow
Atlas Blue
Rapid Red
Carbonized Grey (least likely, but possible)

My guess is at least two of these for sure will be replaced, and I would bet those would be Splash Yellow and Atlas Blue. I think Rapid Red is slightly more likely to remain, but might also go. And Carbonized Grey will likely remain, or it will get replaced with another of the many shades of gray Ford has done in the past.

If you replace Splash Yellow, it's likely with orange. If Atlas Blue is gone, it's probably replaced with a limited run color for the 60th anniversary. Rapid Red would likely give way to another shade of red or a limited run 60th color.

I think I will wait for 2025 myself to see if any new colors are offered. Ford needs to wake up , they are now charging extra for colors that are available on other models as well. The Mustang should have sports car colors like saleen or even aston martin not colors you see on an F150, Escape,Explorer Ect..... charge me extra for something exotic . When my parents ordered vehicles in the 1960's they offered close to 20 different colors and not painted by robots

Regarding anniversary colors and possible throwbacks, attached are two files, for 1964 1/2 and 1965.

The Poppy Red was one of my favorites.
l had a Girl friend who had a, I think, was a 1966 Ivy Green.
Fun car to drive.

I would think they would add some sort of Orange for the 2025 Mustang?
The Ranger has Hot Pepper. It’s a great looking color but I believe they charge $495.00?
Maybe Poppy Red will come back?
I doubt Atlas Blue will be replaced. It’s the only Dark Blue available. Unless they drop it & add a different shade of Dark Blue?
Like was mentioned. Ford needs some Exotic Colors for the 2025’s.

Is the 25 confirmed? Thought I read rumours that 24 could possibly be the last year for the V8.

sure they aren’t going to stop making mustangs but swear I read some thought this could be the last year for the v8 which would change everything IMO

You read a rumor. Fortunately there is nothing to it. Our V8 Mustangs are safe for the foreseeable future.

I understood that the so-called "2024 Mustang" will be the last generation Mustang with V8, not last model year produced.
Like the 2015 Mustang was produced until 2023 (with a facelift from MY 2018).

So my guess would be a production run of maybe another 5-6 years, maybe ending 2030.

Maybe the last ‘gen’ for the stand alone v8 but seriously doubt the 8 is going away anytime too soon.

Exactly!

I usually go here to check out the latest info.

FWIW the ordering guides don't always come out at the same time as when the ordering banks open. It doesn't make sense but it has happened to me in the past with Explorer and Mach-E. I asked my sales person if they were tracking anything new for the 2025 Mustangs and they said no other than possibly a re-style/refresh for the Explorer.

They said the Dark Horse was such a poor seller - no one wants to buy it and no one wants to sell it. They had an automatic sitting out at the front gathering rain drops and sun right at the street. They had the GT automatic inside the showroom. They also had a few Bronco Raptors, complete with $97k MSRP window stickers (yikes).
