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.

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.

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....

I don’t know if they will use the stamping plant for KTP as well. Buffalo stamps some parts for KTP and KTP also has their own stamping plant as well. It’s possible though. You raise a very good question. 

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. 

Why three shifts at the stamping plant? They making stampings for KTP also? 

I tried to drive it around the 'ring, and it was so boring I couldn't even finish the lap. 

Agreed, it's about 30 grand starting as well, so right where CE1 wants to start. I think Ford's take on that where they came out with this sharp, muscular, sculpted sedan that was super affordable would be really neat. 

Won’t happen, F250-600 Super Duty Chassis cab and pick up overflow is their plan. 80-100000 units. Retooling of the plant is far along and will be completed in the next few months. One shift operation except for the stamping plant itwill be three shifts there. No idea if there will ever be more shifts added.  Getting back in there after being off since May 3 2024 will be an achievement. 

The current state of OAC is that 300 people have been called back. Leaders, MP&L, Metal guys from Body and some Paint people. There’s over 3000 contractors in the plant and minimal space to train people. Some people took some training at the union hall some at Ford of Canada headquarters which is on the property. The new Stamping plant is nearing completion. They want to start the TT build April 12.  Word is we might all be back in June, time will tell. We will be called back trained in class then  laid off again til when they’re ready for us. Also we have to bid on jobs which the process isn’t read yet so still some time to go. No product will come out of Oakville til later in the year I can tell you that. That’s my update.
