The scandal known as "2015 Ford Mustang Weightgate" is over. Thanks to a Ford dealer in Florida who exclusively supplied Jalopnik with the 2015 Mustang's Dealer Source Book, we know the actual weight of every model of the new 'Stang.



The other day we reported on a rumor from Ford tuner Steeda, which said that the 2015 Ford Mustang…

The information comes to us from dealer and longtime reader Joe Zahradnik, aka "Joe Z", of Wayne Akers Ford in West Palm Beach. We have emails in to Ford to confirm this info, but based on the Source Book it all appears legit. (Joe can be reached here if you want to buy a Mustang from him.)

Clearly, the Mustang's weight gain is pretty minimal compared to the old car, only about 20 to 80 pounds or so depending on the model. And with the addition of an independent rear suspension it's also more than likely going to be the superior handler

The good news is that it's gained a lot less weight than we thought it would based on the claims made by tuner Steeda, who may or may not have actually weighed the car — less than 100 pounds across the board.
