Is the Argon Blue anything like the old Velocity Blue? I loved that blue and they discontinued it for 2022 when I ordered mine. I got the darker Atlas Blue which is nice but I wanted Velocity Blue.

Now if only they would bring back Autumm Orange or a darker burnt orange.
I stopped by my local dealer to compare the Argon Blue (F350) to my Atlas Blue F150. It was a cloudy day so the metallic in either color wasn't popping like it would on a sunny day but to me the Argon Blue is darker and has a more purple tint to it. Nowhere near as bright of a blue as Velocity.

Very nice. I think it looks like it may be a shade darker than Velocity Blue. Nice color.

Atlas Blue is darker than Velocity Blue so Argon Blue is going to be even darker.

No the darker blue in the picture is the Atlas blue (I believe). The lighter blue is the new Argon but I was saying that the Argon, even though it is a lighter blue, it is still darker than the old Velocity.

From darkest to lightest it would be Atlas - Argon - Velocity with Antimatter being an almost black.

Yep Antimatter is black, according to the folks at Chic Filet! LOL!

The F350 is Argon Blue and is darker than my Atlas Blue F150. Argon is the darkest, and Velocity is the lightest.

Argon reminds me of the old blue K Cars we used to have in the military.

Also, it looks like the keypad is back. In 2025 it showed as a dealer-installed option. This year it has an RPO number.
I hope it’s wired in again and not just including the wireless one with the vehicle.

25 Platinum Eco 5.3 FX4 Carbonized - 23 Plat (totaled)
I just noticed the Ford website has been updated with the 2026 builds.
Looking at the Platinum, the front looks to be unchanged but the applique is definitely back. The keypad option is there but doesn't appear in the photo so not sure if it's the traditional on the B Pillar or the stick on keypad 🤷. Interior appears to be unchanged, maybe the silver trim is a bit more shiny, hard to tell. Photo is shown with HUD. Not seeing a tailgate release button, sometimes things change on the renderings over time. Doubt they added it back, though. Appears to have the two centered buttons above the info screen again. Maybe the top dash is a different material. Not seeing any tow hooks on the front, even with the Tow Haul and FX4 added. Also, the door panel piping and center armrest middle line show silver or dark gray, but the seats still show blue. Probably just a mistake on the rendering to be corrected later.

The description says “in the driver door pillar” so, I’m guessing it’s built in?

Looks like they removed the Panel roof from the 702A package. Doesn't seem like they lowered the price though.
