Initially, UEV was all about making the Fathom pick the main vehicle and the way it was hyping the launch you could tell that Ford was expecting a huge rush of buyers but maybe there’s been enough time for reality to set in and accept that multiple vehicle channels makes moe sense s a way of recovering costs more quickly.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for the 2026 Ford F-150 Special Service Vehicle (SSV) Order Guide. A friend of mine drives an F-150 SSV, and we'd like to learn more about the available configurations, options, and equipment packages for the 2026 model year. Does anyone happen to have a copy of the 2026 F-150 SSV Order Guide, or know where I could find one? A PDF or a pointer to an official Ford fleet resource would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

But we're talking about how disappointed we are. Not all publicity is good publicity contrary to what some will tell you. 

I have a casual Ford fan friend (not on a forum looking for every rumor or new item like most of us, but owns a newer superduty and likes the brand) that was looking for what they put out on Sunday while we were at cars & coffee. Told him they put out an ad on the 23rd then nothing. Apparently they sent him an email about it then it was just the video on the 23rd. So weird.

FTFY.

I'm a pretty solid NASCAR fan, and it's tough for me to sit and watch entire races. Spot on about how clean-cut it's all become. The very few that are still lively have had run-ins with the rest of the drivers, teams, sponsors, and NASCAR themselves. What's weird is that drivers that, early on, I didn't like at all... eventually as they lose their filter and stop giving as much of a crap, they're much more likeable to me. Denny Hamlin is the one that's surprised me the most, he's been calling out the BS as he sees it. Kyle Busch was in that category, too. Much like Kurt, as he got deeper into his career, he matured but kept his sarcasm and attitude edge. Ryan Blaney, if let off the leash, would probably draw a fine every week from NASCAR for something he'd say, but he's smart enough to keep most of it off the radio and off the TV interviews.

I think its preproduction parts that don't have the final finish on them? I noticed the top of the dash was pretty shiny and that could cause issues with the reflection of the sun at certain times of the day. 

That an it’s very sanitized anymore. Any time a driver shows any personality the sponsors don’t like it and the drivers become robots.
