Glovebox light was removed for all mustangs in 2019 or 2020 iirc.

Missing sensors are due to a different bumper, rear comes from GT500 which doesn't have the sensors either. Missing ACC is due to no space in the front bumper for the radar because there are air ducts in the way. And obviously they didn't want to redesign stuff for limited edition. So you assume correctly, it's all about money.
Yes the rear is exactly like the GT500
It's fine I guess, now the Mach 1 has cross traffic alert, line assist, brake aids up front...and removed everything at the back?

I mean the Mach 1 it's a Gt track focused machine

It's just weird the overall package that's all am saying.

If I would had to decide, Would select the reverse sensors instead of cross alert SUV like feature

Hi everybody
I almost crashed today to a wall on my 3 days old Mach 1

I traded it in my 2018 GT Premium for this, and I assumed the Tremec, Torsen and more good stuff were adding stuff. Apparently they have also removed stuff

So far I have noticed, the glovebox lighting and the reverse sensing, and the trunk w/o noise insulator are not included in the Mach 1

Have two theories

1 is for a more stripped/trackday car
2 ford is just removing stuff to save money and improve profits

To be honest, after owning the 2018 for almost 5 years, it feels like a step backwards in terms of features

Driving wise it's noticeable the improvement with the magneride and stiffer suspension in general
That's why there's an owner's manual ... to learn these differences before driving the car. Yes, I miss the ACC and the rear bumper sensors, but the "smiles per mile" value of this car far outweigh the feature changes from my 2015 GT Premium. Of course, YMMV.
