Ford (Allegedly) Planning 4 Door Mustang
Ford Motor Co. is gearing up for what can only be described as a bold expansion of its Mustang lineup, a move that might ruffle a few feathers.
According to Automotive News, Ford is planning to drop a four-door coupe—something they’re calling the Mach 4—and an off-road, four-wheel-drive variant that looks like it’s straight out of a Baja race.
CEO Jim Farley, ever the showman, rolled out these plans at a dealer meeting in Las Vegas. Dealers were shown mock-ups, photos, and digital renderings. The Mach 4 wasn’t the only thing on display. Farley described the lifted off-road Mustang with rugged tires as "rugged performance." Ford is keen to double down on the Mustang as its domestic rivals shrivel up and die.
Ford is also working on a compact van to replace the Transit Connect, with something based on the Maverick pickup. No name or timeline yet, but it’s in the pipeline. They also showed off a low-cost EV platform with a bunch of different body styles, aiming to compete with whatever’s coming from China. Ford’s clearly trying to cover all its bases here, from gas-powered muscle to budget-friendly electrics.
