Sherminator98 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 https://www.fromtheroad.ford.com/us/en/articles/2026/ford-mustang-ecoboost-premium-tld-signature-edition-package Nothing too exciting, looks alright, but this the reason why Ford wants to lean into "interesting/exciting" product-its a $3K upcharge for the package.

twintornados Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) So it is a limited edition tape stripe package for only $3,000? Shades of the 70's and 80's all over again..... ADD ON: But wait, there's more....to get the TLD package, you have to select the Ecoboost Premium Mustang ( $3705 over the "base" Mustang) then select 201A Premium High package which is another $3,000 over Mustang Ecoboost Premium fastback price then the TLD package is another $3,000.... So, you went from $32,640 for a "base" Mustang Ecoboost to $45,035 est net price to get the TLD package...no wonder they are limiting it to a 550 unit run....

T-dubz Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 This is awful. They will be lucky to sell 550 of these. It’s like the mustang version of the free wheelin trim 😂. I don’t understand why ford has so much trouble getting appearance packages right. They have been terrible on both Mustang and Bronco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dubz Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 What’s sad here is I’m sure ecoboost buyers would normally be excited to have a package that includes the GT hood, the nostrils, new interior, and wheels (although I’m not a fan of these wheels, I know many do like bronze), but the graphics completely ruin it.

fordmantpw Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I've never heard of Troy Lee. Why would I want to ugly up a perfectly good looking Mustang with his name? That's a hard pass from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, I don't like the bronze wheels/accents along with the red/yellow/orange......doesn't go together at all, it clashes to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Troy Lee thing is just a sticker/design package. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZanatWork Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Fluff packages for Ecoboost Mustangs...not my cup o' tea, but maybe the buyers are out there. The TLD appearance makes me think of the late 70s Ford stripe packages, reimagined by an artistic stoner and his airgun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Handler Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Sticker packages aren't going to make up for the fact that this an underwhelming generation of Mustang. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, Troy Lee ain’t adding to the whelming factor for this unloved Mustang generation. 😄 I think fuzzymoomoo has the right answer.

I’m the exact opposite. I pretty much always get the appearance package. Ford used to offer great value in their appearance packages. Often times giving you new bumpers, lights, grilles, wheels and interiors for around $995. These days you can’t even get a wheel upgrade for that price. And for some reason ford thinks everything needs a giant sticker on it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
