This episode of 'Charging Across America' visits Tim Bartz, the "Ford Video Guy" at Long McArthur Ford in Salina, Kansas. The video offers an exclusive look at Bartz's podcast studio and the dealership's custom shop, highlighting unique Roush supercharged F-150 "Lightning Bolt" conversions. These custom trucks aim to replicate the classic F-150 Lightning with modern performance upgrades, including superchargers and lowered suspension, while retaining towing and payload capacity. The reviewer notes that these conversions are not available in California. The video also briefly touches on the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally, mentioning its new wheel options and the addition of a heat pump for improved efficiency in colder climates. Overall, the episode showcases the dealership's dedication to creating bespoke Ford vehicles and provides insight into the operations of a prominent Ford content creator.
