I Was Right About The Future Of The Ford Mustang

I saw this coming from a mile away.

Now that pricing for the 2024 Ford Mustang has hit Ford’s website, enthusiasts are anything but happy. Back when the S650 was revealed and Ford made a big deal about how it wasn’t dropping the Coyote V8 from the lineup after news spread Dodge is dropping the Hemi V8 for 2024, I knew there would be a catch. After all, Ford has been leaning hard into the green initiative, especially electrification, even slapping the Mustang name on an EV crossover. Back then I told people no doubt the cost of a Mustang GT would go through the roof.

 See why Ram’s Superbowl commercial was a failure here.

Once again I was right. While starting MSRP for the 2024 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Fastback isn’t exactly cheap at $30,920, you’ll have to shell out an obscene amount if you want that Coyote V8. But first, keep in mind that for 2015 EcoBoost Mustangs carried a starting MSRP of just under $26,000 and the Mustang GT started at about $33,000. I think Ford and apologists are going to try gaslighting us all into believing the price gap between the two has always been as great as what 2024 introduces.

For the privilege of owning a V8, which apparently will absolutely kill the planet, starting MSRP for the 2024 Ford Mustang GT Fastback is an obscene $41,495. That’s over $3,000 more than for the 2023 Mustang GT and about $8,000 more than for the 2015 Mustang GT.
