New to the group with two ponies: 2023 Premium + 2024 Rally

[PFISH1986]

New to the group but have enjoyed a 2022 premium for 3 years and have 73k miles on it. Recently picked up a 24 Rally for my wife and they are amazing machines. Look forward to reading all the posts and helping where I can!

Not sure I would have made the 3 and a half years with my 22 premium without this forum, hats off to you for doing so. Congrats on the rally, I hear really good things about them. Thinking of trading up for one in a year or two.

Knock on wood we haven’t had any issues with our premium. The rally is phenomenal and highly recommend. It’s a world of difference from the premium so if you do the switch you won’t regret it at all.

Welcome! There is lots of great advice here. And I love that metallic green!

That green with the white wheels and Rally stripes looks hawt

Welcome to the forum.
Coming on a year and a half, and 25K miles, on my Rally. It works great for me in SE Michigan, and on the several road trips I took it on, including on last winter in 6" of snow in east Tennessee.

I bet it’s a blast in the snow!

Welcome to the forum! A previous 22 Premium owner updated to 25 Rally in May. Love the white wheel choice

Very very nice! Welcome!

I love the color choices you make: from super boring silver to very bold green!

I’m intrigued given my mostly great experience with my ‘22 CR1. What are the main differences/ benefits between the ‘24 Rally and ‘22 Premium, and are they all unique to the Rally or also enhancements to ‘24 Premium/GTs?

I have no idea about the uniqueness, I can only speak for the 24 rally. The suspension feel is a huge upgrade, feels like you are driving on rails compared to the premium, which I didn’t think was a bad ride. The seats, stitching, and small details features of the dash feel more high end. The power of the premium in unbridled feels like the whisper mode in the rally. My wife does have the performance upgrade for it as well which probably makes a little difference. It also seems to react better and faster when I’m using my phone as the key and the features like unlock/lock/windows, where as my premium seems to take a bit to recognize my phone. Lastly the seat heaters get way hotter way faster than the premium, the three bars seem to light my butt on fire and I keep it on the one bar setting whereas in my premium I keep it on the three bars all the time.

All in all both cars are great and I love the premium, the rally is just an extreme version of it.

All Rallys have the performance upgrade, higher ground clearance, AWD, "specially tuned" suspension, and - RALLY MODE. Plus some other cool stuff.

I, for one, do not find the SYNC 4 system to be anything close to "fast". My 2021 Powerboost SYNC 4 is noticeably faster. Nevertheless, I still love the Rally.

The 2024+ GT and Rally (which is an option on the GT) both have Magneride suspension so they will ride more smoothly than a non-Magneride car. The Rally also has softer springs with increased ride height and a different tune to the Magneride so it is softer than the GT.

The GT and Rally also have the Ford Performance seats. Some people don’t like them, some do. This canine likes them. I find mine more comfortable than the seats in the Premium, but I have a fuzzy butt.

The other obvious difference is the set of motors and throttle tune on the GT and Rally. Their acceleration is brutal compared to the other trims. A 2024+ GT with the Performance Upgrade and good tires or a Rally with good tires (the Rally as delivered has narrower tires than the GT, so less traction) is an E-ticket ride.

To sum up the changes in the Rally option from the GT: Taller and softer springs, narrower 19” tires with a trail type tread pattern, Performance Upgrade standard (optional on the GT), revised Magneride, softer anti-sway bars, drag-adding wing-looking rear window sun shade.
