Our comparison guide is here to highlight the differences between the 2025 and 2024 Ford Mustang for Florida drivers! We’ll help you figure out which of these muscle cars belongs in your garage.
Key Takeaways
- The 2025 Ford Mustang is celebrating 60 years as an American icon with a limited-edition model.
- Both Mustang model years offer six main trim levels: EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, GT Premium, Dark Horse, and Dark Horse Premium.
- These Mustangs also offer the same three engine options, depending on which trim model you select.
- The price of the Mustang hasn’t budged between model years, with a price tag that starts at $31,920!
New Anniversary Edition Mustang
The 2025 Ford Mustang commemorates six decades on the road with a throwback appearance pack. As American as apple pie, the 60th Anniversary package offers your choice of three exclusive paint colors: Race Red, Wimbledon White, and Vapor Blue. Retro styling flourishes include 60s-style side graphics and a unique grille inspired by the original 1965 Mustang. Production is limited to 1,965 models — another tribute to the world’s first pony car.
Mustang Trim Models
The list of trim models hasn’t changed since last year. Both the 2024 and 2025 Mustangs offer six options: EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, GT Premium, Dark Horse, and Dark Horse Premium. Outside of the new 60th Anniversary package (available for the Mustang GT Premium), each model’s list of features also remains the same.
When it comes to tech and comfort features, the EcoBoost and GT are similarly equipped (and handsomely, at that). These Mustangs come standard with a leather-wrapped shifter, dual-zone automatic climate control, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto infotainment connectivity.
For a more luxurious sports coupe, check out the EcoBoost Premium or GT Premium. These upscale Mustangs add to the standard lineup with extras like multi-colored ambient lighting, vegan leather upholstery, and remote ignition. In addition to their exclusive performance upgrades (more on this below) the Dark Horse and Dark Horse Premium are also big on luxury and tech upgrades!
Premium Power: 2024 vs. 2025 Ford Mustang
As usual for Ford’s famous pony car, these Mustang model years offer three powerful engine options, each of which is paired with specific trim models.
The 2.3L EcoBoost Four-Cylinder Engine
You’ll find the Mustang’s base engine on the base trim model, the EcoBoost, and its more luxurious counterpart, the EcoBoost Premium. With 315 horsepower, it gives you a swift send-off. Plus, the EcoBoost helps both the 2024 and 2025 Mustang achieve impressive EPA ratings: 26 mpg combined (22 city/33 highway). And with launch control, selectable drive modes, and an electric line-lock specially designed to facilitate a burnout (keep it at the track, people), the Mustang EcoBoost and EcoBoost Premium are fun-loving options!
The 5.0L Coyote V8 Engine
Ford’s 5.0-liter V8 goes with the Mustang GT (and GT Premium) like white on rice. For the 2024 and 2025 models, it spits out 480 horsepower! In addition to all of the base performance features, the Mustang GT models beef up your ride with larger brakes, quad-tipped exhaust, and a hood vent. Add the GT Performance Package to take performance to new extremes. Its upgrades include a Torsen differential, Brembo brakes, and upgraded chassis tuning.
The Dark Horse 5.0L Coyote V8
Introduced for the 2024 model year, the Dark Horse and Dark Horse Premium trims feature the most powerful Coyote V8 to ever leave a Ford factory. Its 500 horses make for an ultra-quick performance. The Dark Horses’ performance boosters don’t end there, either. They come standard with MagneRide adaptive suspension, active exhaust, and high-performance braking upgrades, among other upgrades. The available Dark Horse Handling Package takes an already-agile ride to a whole new level, adding a performance front aero splitter, special chassis tuning, and more.
2024 and 2025 Ford Mustang Powertrain Specs
- EcoBoost: Turbo 2.3L four-cylinder engine (315 hp, 350 lb-ft) and 10-speed automatic transmission
- Mustang GT: 5.0L V8 engine (480 hp, 415 lb-ft) and six-speed manual or optional 10-speed automatic transmission
- Dark Horse: high-output 5.0L V8 engine (500 hp, 418 lb-ft) and uprated six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission
Mustang MSRP
Thanks to a strong demand for America’s favorite pony car, the price of the 2025 Ford Mustang (starting at $31,920) hasn’t moved one cent since 2024. Bargain hunters know that any dealership with leftover 2024 Mustangs may be looking to move them at a discounted price, however. If you can find one, last year’s model just might be the best road to a great deal!
Your New Ford Mustang
Unless you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a limited-edition 60th Anniversary model, the 2025 Ford Mustang is a lot like the 2024 Ford Mustang! Since only the 2025 model is available to order, it’s the best choice for Dade City, Florida drivers who want to build their pony car from the ground up. Ready to order yours?
