It is pretty bad that we are going on over 5 YEARS since Ford has launched a new nameplate and it will be at least till next Summer before the Fathom comes out, which is more or less just a EV Maverick dismissively  I sure do hope they have more launches next year. 

The 2028 E-Series Cutaway_Stripped Chassis Order Guide has been added to the Dealer Order Guides section. Thanks @bearman54

Yeah, I know it's just a reality of automotive timelines (especially when they've pivoted directions multiple times) and that we're more knowledgeable than most of what's going on, but it's annoying that all Ford has seemingly done the last 3-4 years is to talk about this that and the other that's "coming, just wait!"  It'd be nice if they'd actually release something - even if a concept - to keep interest.     In the meantime, we'll get 37 more teases of the Fathom's corner reflector marker to generate excitement!!

Yeah sounds like it could be worse, but I'd agree that a "last screen" feature would be nice.

Ford Reveals Why Naming a New Car Is So Much Harder Than You Think - Autoblog   Even a flawless internal pitch can get entirely derailed. The legal team frequently steps in to kill names over trademark disputes or translation issues. Recently, Ford almost used “Mustang Dark Horse Boss” before realizing it sounded ridiculous and deciding to go with “Dark Horse SC.” Getting a word past the legal department is often the hardest part of the job.     This article used the example of what would've been the Dark Horse Boss, but instead going with Dark Horse SC, which I hate lol.

There've been a few smaller recalls here and there, but this is the most recent larger one:   2025-2026 Ford F-Series Recalled Over Failing Analog Clusters   Ford Motor Company is recalling select Ford F-Series models - 2025-2026 Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600, as well as 2026 F-150, and F-750 trucks over an issue with failing analog gauge clusters. The defect: in affected vehicles, the analog cluster’s tachometer and speedometer may become stuck or move erratically, providing inaccurate readings to the driver. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 101, "Controls and Displays." The hazards: a speedometer that fails to display accurate vehicle speed can increase the risk of a crash. Ford is not aware of any reports of accidents or injuries related to this condition. Components: instrument cluster modules Affected vehicles: select 2025-2026 Super Duty F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600 trucks build between December 14th, 2024, and April 17th, 2026, 2026 F-150 pickups produced between August 22nd, 2025, and May 12th, 2026, and 2026 F-750 models built on November 21st, 2025. Number of vehicles affected: 102,159 The fix: dealers will replace the instrument cluster modules, free of charge.

This is likely a requirement of that new law otherwise preventing Chinese imports.  Nautilus skirts around it because of using US-based software.

I mean, to be fair, it's also a lower bar to overcome, as EV sales across the board have collapsed, but still their sales are increasing!

Strange, it seems to have disappeared........wonder if they weren't supposed to put that out yet?   Different source, same info....   A new two-row Mazda CX-90 will take the CX-70’s place | Driving
