Here's a doc some might find useful, it's Ford's official tie down guide for transporting cars. This one is from 2022, but I also have the 2015 one and the Mustang data hasn't changed. Mustang is on sheet 7 down near the bottom.

Based on this I've been using straps rated at 3.3 tonnes each and using the hooks specified in the locations specified. They can be a bit funky to hook up, but I've had zero instances of any of the straps loosening or hooks falling out. I bought straps with 3 different end hooks to cover pretty much any hook used by the various car makers, it cost very little more than getting just 1 end hook.
