2026 Ford Mustang · Trims · Dark Horse Premium
What is the 2026 Ford Mustang Dark Horse Premium?
The second most expensive of the Mustang's seven trims in our data. The Dark Horse Premium starts at $70,075 as a Fastback coupe. On price, it sits between the Dark Horse ($65,080) and the Dark Horse SC ($106,090).
Our Mustang data has all seven US 2026 families, both bodies, both gearboxes, High groups, RTR, TLD, GT Performance, Dark Horse Handling, SC Track Pack, MagneRide, active exhaust, RECARO seats and wheel choices. It doesn't have the Mach-E, GTD, race-only Dark Horse R/S, dealer conversions, the announced SC convertible, special editions, paint, interior, and standalone options yet, so something missing from this page may still be offered.
