Ford Mustang Production Set to Ramp Up in July

Ford Mustang enthusiasts who have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the 2024 model year have been playing a waiting game in recent months, with production delays pushing back the launch date. However, according to several reservation holders on the 7thMustang.com fan forum, production is set to ramp up in July, with some customers already being given VINs and expected build dates.

This news is significant for Ford, as the Mustang is a critical model for the brand heading into the 2024 model year. With a range of changes and the introduction of a new Dark Horse trim, it’s essential that the rollout goes smoothly. Ford has already experienced launch issues with other models, such as the Bronco, and cannot afford to make the same mistakes with the Mustang.

While supply chain issues were initially blamed for the delays, rumors have been circulating that production was also held back due to panel fitment, engine valve issues, and electrical problems. However, it’s better to catch these issues during pre-production rather than releasing a half-baked product to meet an arbitrary deadline.

Despite these setbacks, customers who have reserved their 2024 Mustangs can breathe a sigh of relief as production is set to ramp up in July. One customer has reported receiving a VIN for their EcoBoost convertible, with an expected build date during the week of July 31. Another customer has been given a VIN and production estimate for their GT convertible, while a third customer has a production date penciled in for their EcoBoost model.

This news is undoubtedly good news for Mustang enthusiasts and investors alike. The Mustang is an iconic model for Ford, and a successful launch is critical for the brand’s future success. By catching any production issues before launch, Ford can ensure that the Mustang lives up to its reputation as a high-performance superstar.
