Ford's 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC produces 795 horsepower from a supercharged 5.2-liter V8, serving as the spiritual successor to the discontinued Shelby GT500 without the licensing fees. The author tested the car at Sonoma Raceway in California, finding the handling and track performance more impressive than the raw power alone.
Ford is reintroducing two-tone paint options on its F-150 trucks through its Custom Garage dealer-installed accessory program, available on crew cab XLT and Lariat models with various color band combinations. The two-tone treatment visually breaks up the tall metal surfaces of modern trucks while maintaining body-color sills, creating a nostalgic design element that works well with contemporary truck proportions.
