They all tick. Some more than others. But it's generally not something you hear unless you are in a garage, drive through, or parking structure. Most people are oblivious. There is a TSB at Ford saying it's normal and that no service will be done for it.
Welcome to owning a Coyote. The "typewriter" or "BBQ" tick has been thing since 2011. It became more prevalent on the Gen 3s. If you do a search on the 6g forum you will get a topic list 3 pages long on the subject.
My advice is to not obsese over it. If you do enjoy the ride...
The RTR is already here. But like the current Shelby cars, it's not Ford special edition. The Cobra is a rumor at this point. And if they make one, I can't see them continuing with that and the DH at the same time.
Bottom line is Ford likes special editions and packages. They generate FOMO and...
Not sure I agree with you there. The Dark Horse replaced the Mach 1 which was a special edition. Im not sure if the DH is meant to be a permanent model or not.
Yeah the S550 had a lot of early special editions too though. The 50th anniversary, California Special, GT350, and Bullitt were all released in the first 5 years.
Shelby has been making their own cars for years. None of them can be purchased or ordered through Ford. Its a moot point anyway as those spy photos are of a Ford test mule and not a Shelby. I suspect it's a DH replacement.
I think the mid-cycle refresh will be in '27 or '28. We already know the '26 is the same. I suspect we may also get a DH replacement at the same time. Ford seems to only run their specialty editions for 2-3 years at time.
I guess you consider the 2010 refresh to be radically different. I really don't. There certainly weren't new body panels like you claim. Just new headlights and grille, and tail lights. 🤷‍♂️
Anyway, we all know a mid-cycle refresh is coming. My topic was about an all new platform.
That's called a refresh. New headlights and taillights does not equal a separate generation. Its still the same platform, and it is no different from the 2018 S550 refresh. Plus I already said the S650 would get at least one refresh.
Ford does not own the Rights to GT350 or GT500 any longer...
Not sure where to start with this one, but there's lots of bad info here.
First off the specialty editions are no different than that of the S550 which ran for 9 years. California special, Bullitt, Shelby GT350, Shelby Gt500, Mach 1, and 50th anniversary.
The Ecoboost and GT standard and...
