The 2023 model year

Overview

The send-off year for the S550. With the Shelby GT500 discontinued, the Mach 1 became the lineup's flagship for the generation's final tour, which was otherwise a near-carryover. Sixth-generation production ended at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant on April 6, 2023, handing off to the seventh-generation S650.

Year over year

What changed

  • The Shelby GT500 was discontinued; the Mach 1 became the top model for the final year.
  • Near-carryover otherwise, sending off the S550 with few changes.
  • Sixth-generation production ended April 6, 2023, at Flat Rock Assembly.

Worth knowing

Notable

  • Last model year of the sixth-generation (S550) Mustang.
  • Mach 1 closed out the generation as its flagship.

Living with it

Reliability & ownership notes

  • Final-year S550s benefit from a fully sorted, mature platform — the 2.3 EcoBoost and 5.0 Coyote are proven engines with deep parts support.
  • The Mach 1's dedicated cooling carries over as a durability plus over a standard GT.
