I love how these guys are arguing with you lolol
stop patronizing, nobody is arguing. Posting old enrollment photos about 2020-22 GT500s is not proof.. until Ford puts something in writing that there will be no 23 MY, it' all speculation, they have plenty of people who want the cars and they still have time to build them..

Yeah, let me shoot you over the official letter for 2023 that Ford is not producing the Escort.

Why would Ford, or any manufacturer for that matter, send out official communication on vehicles they ARENT building? Hahahaha

why would Ford (or any manufacturer) educate their dealerships on vehicles they are cutting from their lineup? umm, maybe to sell a new product that replaces it? but of course, you can still build a GT500 on Ford's website. so if you can't actually get one (because Ford obviously has a backlog of orders and a limited time), why not update the website? nostalgic purposes? they don't have someone employed who can update it? laziness? ignorance?

there are many unanswered questions. I'm not saying there is a 23 MY GT500, but silence from Ford is not an answer, if it is, it sounds treacherous to do business with Ford, but you know more than me

You can still "build" a GT500 on the website, a 2022 GT500.

Ford has always been terrible about updating their website. We've been able to order 2023 F150s for almost a month, yet you can only build 2022s on their site.

and youve been able to build 2022s with options no longer available and long after it was sold out too

I think somebody missed the point.

How are dealers procuring '23 GT500's? No more fee? Do they just magically show up now? Please, tell us more!

It's like NIck and Tob said, there will be no 2023 GT500.

There will be a S550 Mustang in 2023 but it will be a short model year.

My dealer emailed me Friday and said they don't think my order will be accepted for the '22 MY. So then I asked for my substantial deposit back and the salesman said they would pull the order from the system altogether if they sent it back and that it would go to bottom priority if they end up making a '23 model.

I don't think there's much chance at all there will be a '23 GT500, way too many moving parts to execute an additional MY in less than a 12-month period of time. Two different posters on here who are highly credible so no way there's a '23, I believe them and feel the salesman is giving me a line of BS. Thoughts?

My thoughts are as follows... Upon hearing the news from your dealer coupled with three very reliable take it to the bank sources about the possibility of a 2023 GT500, if I were in your position, I'd get my deposit back and get workin on finding a 22 GT500.

Well I called SVT today and they neither confirmed or denied a 23 GT500. For what that's worth

With no GT500 it'll be interesting to see if the Mach 1 was let go as well. If so, will there even be a GT with a power bump? Or would Ford prefer to let that happen when the S650 debuts...?

Would of been cool to see something special for 23-24 models. Could those years be an anniversary edition?

Give it up.

Also, SVT has been dead since 2014.

Ford Performance, SVT, whatever.. the lady called it SVT when she transferred me...

is that what's important, or that the people answering the phones at Ford don't know if they are making a 23 or not?? or is it because I dare challenge your omnipotent authority on this precious forum?
