Do you think Ford will continue producing Dark Horse in 2026? If so, what are the things that gonna be changed? Or there will be a new special edition? !

Pure speculation on my part, but I think it will be produced for another, if not two more years. Using other trims as a reference (GT350/R, Mach, GT500), Ford typically produces these for three to five years.

In the final year of production, Ford often creates Heritage Editions.

Setting that aside, we'll know in a few months. Order Guides and other information for the 2026 Model Year should be available late Summer, early Fall. I'd expect production for MY26 to begin in October.

Edit,

Handling Pack cars are not produced in the Winter Months (est. Oct-Mar). This has to do with Summer tires and safety concerns (loss of traction, cracking, failure, etc.).

With a new Hi-Po variant coming, I'd like to believe the Dark Horse will be produced for 2026, and then get phased out - akin to what happened when the GT500 was released. Part of me doesn't believe that the more advanced of the two prototypes we saw in the last month is going to be the Cobra.

With that said, I agree with the belief that the Dark Horse will get some sort of special send-off package. As to what it would be, I could only guess - I have no ideas.

Ford made it clear that the Dark Horse was a regular line model, not a special edition (like the Mach 1]. As such it should continue along with the EcoBoost and GT. As far as changes, don’t expect much for a 3rd year model. Now we are expecting a new top of the line model but no real info on specifics yet.

If it follows Dodge’s example, next there will be a ā€œDarker Horseā€, then they will finish up the line with the ā€œDarkest Horseā€ complete with a 60ā€ plasma. ;)

Make it a 75ā€ plasma and we may have a replacement for them led (lcd) displays that still don’t quite measure up, closest competitor is the oled but that’s a different forum. 😁

Ford, please, don't use these ideas, they're terrible. But if you do, can you send me a check?

I don’t agree
The Dark Horse and Mach 1 are the same concept by Ford. Serialized and limited production run. 15-16k , 2-3 years .
IMO

I'm just what Ford said in their initial release of the Dark Horse. Production is only limited by the number of orders so not a true limited edition model.
