So far Ford have released info mid month, but why the focus on 14 Jan?

In Australia, Ford officially describe the Dark Horse as a "Special Edition" ..."with a "Limited Volume Run", and clearly NOT with the same Dealer Allocation and availability of the GT or EchoBoost. This may or may not be indicative of the scenario in the US -to coin a cliche', time will tell.

Yes, it would be good to get a current Ford Fleet Doc that is dated for some clarity. Cheers

Thanks, so that is saying MY24 Job #1 on 04/11/23 (11 Apr) - whilst it could be 100% valid, the only problem it is undated, so this could be outdated - no way of knowing at this stage without the original. However. as it states the Schedule dates for the 2023 - i would suggest that as this...

Thanks, (although that could mean a two day Build window) wasn't aware of the Ford Fleet Site. Do you have the link or Doc' ?

Yes Final 2023 / MY23 (S550) Production is scheduled on 28 Feb 2023, then brief shutdown for the model change over. MY24 (S650) Production is due to start 06 March.

This is OLD News dated 15 Sep 22 - Not and Nothing "More".

I thought it was obvious I was referring to communication skills, not disclosure if confidential technical information.

Yep, and Isn't his ma-nglish great. Sausage Sizzle Ambiguity and an absence of supportive detail.

I hope he is referring to a Thicker Rim and NOT a bigger circumference / Diameter Wheel !! Hopefully it is also a smaller diameter wheel.

The Chev 6.2 L is actually exactly 24% Larger in capacity than the 5.0L Ford. This is not a small margin!!

Well (unless I missed it) he failed to mention any of this even basic information: "To meet this goal, Ford created a new set of cylinder heads, upgraded all four of the camshafts, and implemented a dual air intake box with dual 80mm throttle bodies. While a unique approach to air acquisition...

More improvements outlined here: " Ford created a new set of cylinder heads, upgraded all four of the camshafts, and implemented a dual air intake box with dual 80mm throttle bodies. While a unique approach to air acquisition, the twin 80mm throttle bodies minimize induction loss by enabling...

Yes he may not sound like a Public Speaker, but surprisingly he didn't sound much like an Engineer either. Disappointing.

Agreed 100% - the 2024 is more garish than the previous model, and often simplicity is more expressive and aesthetically enduring.

Not a fan of the deleted lower indicator etc lights, and not sure what to make of the taller, blunter and seemingly less aerodynamic front end. Also seems to have a larger Windscreen glass area from the slightly raised roof and lowered belt-line / Firewall.

I think you will find the Last Digit is Rounded, not the second last.

Old Race Horse and Cart ?

I would assume it is logically rounded from less than 5 hp - and even then would be underrated, if true to fords conservative HP Ratings. By any rounding standards, 460 or even 480 is nowhere near 500
