Ford Jacks Mustang Prices: V8s Are Way More Expensive
For 2025, the Ford Mustang will receive some slight updates, but most notably, its V8-powered trims will see some big price changes.
Prices for V8-powered models will rise at least $2,700, while the rest of the lineup sees minimal pricing shifts. Changes are comprised of some new equipment and colors. The former arrives in the, well, form of dual-zone climate control, which is standard on every Mustang.
Meanwhile, Wimbledon White rejoins the lineup, paired with a new Molten Magenta color. Four colors also leave the lineup: Atlas Blue Metallic, Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Yellow Splash Metallic Tri-Coast, and Dark Matter Gray Metallic. The 60th Anniversary package can be ordered on any Mustang, which adds special retro-inspired digital gauge clusters and historic colors like Wimbledon White, Race Red, and others. You can check out the full run of pricing changes in the table below.

The Ford Mustang is, to its credit, a survivor. The Dodge Charger will outlive its V8, but it turns into a sort of “Theseus’ Ship” thing — is the original item still the same after so much change?
The Camaro, conversely, has simply died out. This means one of two things is happening to the Ford Mustang: the Blue Oval now knows it’s got the last V8 muscle car on the market, it can charge a premium for said V8 or that big engine is getting harder and harder to justify. Either way, prices have risen, and Ford doesn’t have a whole lot of reasons to stop.

Eliminate the eco-crap engine, and bring back the six - plenty of power - and do away with electronic parking brakes.
And, strip out 90% of the rest of the electronics. All I need is a convertible top, an AM/FM radio, and manual transmission. Maybe then I could afford one!
