The Ford F-150 Lightning SuperTruck has once again proven its might, conquering the 102nd Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with an astounding time of 8:53.553. At Schicker Ford of St. Louis, we’re thrilled to bring you this game-changing vehicle and invite you to experience its excellence firsthand.
Just recently, the F-150 Lightning SuperTruck demonstrated its prowess by outpacing 61 competitors at Pikes Peak in Colorado. This success came just after setting a new qualifying record in the open class with a time of 3:32.831, shattering the previous record by over seven seconds, in no small part thanks to the relentless dedication and ingenuity of the Ford Performance Motorsports team.
Mark Rushbrook, the global director of Ford Performance Motorsports, emphasized just how significant this is: “The progression of Ford electric vehicles taking on and completing the toughest challenges is a major testament to the hard work and dedication our teams have put into the program.”
The Pikes Peak climb wasn’t without its problems. Driver Romain Dumas encountered a technical issue that caused a 26-second stop on the course. Despite this, Dumas’ quick thinking led him to reset the 1,600-horsepower F-150 Lightning SuperTruck and continue the climb up the mountain, ultimately securing victory. “Everything about this event is a challenge because it is unlike any other form of racing; you only have one shot,” Dumas said.
The F-150 Lightning SuperTruck’s success is a result of collaborative efforts with STARD (Stohl Advanced Research and Development), which was instrumental in creating this high-performance vehicle. Equipped with state-of-the-art Sparco racing harnesses, top-of-the-line safety equipment, and bespoke Pirelli P-Zero tires, the SuperTruck is engineered to tackle the most demanding conditions with ease.
Sriram Pakkam, Formula 1 & high-performance EV manager at Ford Performance Motorsports, praised the team’s collective effort: “To achieve this amazing feat was no small effort. This was a true team effort across the board from our super-talented aerodynamicists to our powertrain specialists.”
Be on the Top of Your Own Mountain
At Schicker Ford of St. Louis, we’re proud to offer the Ford F-150 Lightning, a vehicle that embodies the spirit of innovation and performance demonstrated at Pikes Peak. Whether you’re a performance enthusiast or someone looking to embrace the future of electric vehicles, the F-150 Lightning promises an unparalleled driving experience.
Visit us today at Schicker Ford of St. Louis to test drive the Ford F-150 Lightning. Feel the power, embrace the technology, and join us in the future of driving. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of an electrifying journey!
Mustang Generations: The 2024 vs. 2023 Ford Mustang
The Ford Mustang continues to be an iconic muscle car, renowned for its rich heritage, striking style, and exhilarating performance. As the 2024 Ford Mustang marks the introduction of its seventh generation, it brings several new and refreshed elements to the table. In this blog post, we’ll compare the 2024 Mustang with its predecessor, the 2023 Ford Mustang, to help you decide which one suits your needs best.
Performance Upgrades
Both the 2023 and 2024 Mustang models offer impressive performance with their EcoBoost turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four engines and Coyote V8, 5.0-liter engines. However, the 2024 Mustang takes a significant leap forward in terms of power. The V8 engine in the 2024 Mustang GT now delivers an impressive 480 horsepower, up from the 450 horsepower in the 2023 model. This increase is partly due to enhancements like a dual intake, upgraded oil pan, and dual-throttle body. Additionally, the active-valve exhaust system in the 2024 GT can boost the output to an astounding 486 horsepower.
The four-cylinder engine also receives a boost, with the 2024 model producing 315 horsepower compared to the 310 horsepower of the 2023 Mustang. Updates to the variable cam timing, direct injection system, and bore-to-stroke ratio contribute to this increase. Moreover, the new Mustang Dark Horse model, introduced in 2023, continues to impress in 2024 with its 5.0-liter V8 engine generating 500 horsepower, available with both a 10-speed automatic and a six-speed manual transmission.
Exterior Design
The 2023 Mustang features a powerful and fluid design with its long, muscular hood, sleek roofline, and distinctive diamond-shaped, matrix-style headlights. The wide black grille and horizontal foglight bar enhance its aggressive look, while two strong definition lines run through the door panels.
In contrast, the 2024 Mustang presents a more edgy and modern appearance. The beefy hood with squared-off sides, sharply curved roofline, and muscular rear fenders give it a more athletic stance. The front fascia sports a fresh, geometric-shaped grille and horizontal headlights, complemented by eye-catching air vents on the lower fascia. The Mustang Dark Horse model stands out with its exclusive color options, unique stripe choices, and a menacing head-on Mustang logo, exuding an athletic and sinister allure.
Interior and Features
Inside, the 2024 Mustang has undergone significant updates to provide a more modern and user-friendly experience. The dashboard now features a 12.4-inch digital driver’s cluster and a 13.2-inch infotainment system screen. The auto climate system controls are integrated into the central display screen, streamlining the user interface. New features in the 2024 model include the Sync 4 system, reverse auto braking, adaptive cruise control, pothole mitigation, and lane center assist.
Both the 2023 and 2024 Mustang models offer a host of premium features, such as a heated steering wheel, a B&O sound system, navigation system, parking sensors, and luxurious leather materials. However, the updates in the 2024 model enhance the overall driving experience, making it a more attractive option for tech-savvy buyers.
The 2024 Ford Mustang builds on the strengths of the 2023 model, offering enhanced performance, a more modern design, and updated interior features. While the 2023 Mustang remains a formidable choice with its impressive capabilities and classic style, the 2024 model takes the iconic muscle car to new heights. Visit Schicker Ford of St. Louis to experience the differences firsthand and find the perfect Mustang for you.

Underneath the darkened Texas skies at the Bronco Off-Roadeo, Ford introduced the world to the Bronco Raptor Black Appearance Package, a winning combination of rugged capability and striking aesthetics that raises the bar for off-road vehicles.

The contrast between light and dark creates a compelling visual, and it’s as eye-catching as it is powerful.

Drawing inspiration from its Baja 1000-winning predecessor, this Bronco is ready to conquer any challenge that comes its way. Whether you’re traversing rocky trails or navigating through dense forests, the Bronco Raptor is your ultimate companion.
Unique Raptor body-side and hood decals round out the package’s $4,995 MSRP, which customers can order at the end of April.
As Ford Bronco Brand Manager Jason Hyde says, “The Black Appearance gives them a look that stands out on any trail and under any sky, even a total solar eclipse.” And what better way to experience this than by visiting our dealership and seeing it firsthand?
At Schicker Ford of St. Louis, we invite you to experience the Bronco Raptor Black Appearance Package for yourself. With its unique appearance and great performance, the Bronco Raptor is more than just a vehicle – it’s a whole other lifestyle.

In a world that still often tries to confine people to pre-defined roles, Ford Motor Company extends a heartfelt tribute to the “Car Girls” who challenge convention, create their own paths, and leave a lasting impact in the auto world. With International Women’s Day as the backdrop, Ford’s dedication to honoring women’s contributions extends past a mere single day of recognition.
In a letter released in celebration of International Women’s Day titled “Dear Car Girl”, Ford acknowledges the passion and determination of women who embrace their love for cars. Encouraging them to keep on their automotive pursuits, the letter hopefully serves as encouragement for women to push boundaries, break stereotypes, and redefine what it means to be a car enthusiast. Narrated by inspirational figures such as professional stunt driver Dee Bryant, Ford engineer Fernanda Medina, Bronco ambassador Gabby Downing, and Mustang ambassador Lauren Stoney, the accompanying film amplifies the voices of women from different auto backgrounds, creating further a sense of unity and empowerment.
Embracing that theme, Ford invites women the world over to join the conversation by sharing their own #CarGirl stories. Physical copies of the “Dear Car Girl” letter will be distributed to customers, employees, and other women, further amplifying a message of inclusivity and recognition.
Ford’s legacy is deeply intertwined with the contributions of women, from employing women during times when they lacked voting rights to inspiring iconic figures like Rosie the Riveter during World War II. These trailblazers not only contributed to groundbreaking innovations, such as the invention of the rearview mirror, but also played pivotal roles in shaping Ford’s past, present, and future.
Moreover, Ford’s commitment to celebrating women’s achievements extends beyond International Women’s Day, as evidenced by various initiatives aimed at elevating women in the automotive sphere. From collaborating with actress Sydney Sweeney to empower vintage Ford enthusiasts to hosting exclusive Ladies’ Days at Bronco Off-Roadeo events, Ford continues to champion diversity and inclusion.
The company’s dedication to female empowerment is further exemplified through partnerships with remarkable individuals like Dee Bryant, whose extraordinary skills as an African American female stunt driver are showcased through social media series advocating against racism and sexism in the automotive industry.
Additionally, Ford’s participation in events like the Rebelle Rally underscores its commitment to supporting women in motorsports, with drivers like Hailie Deegan breaking barriers and making history in NASCAR’s major series. Deegan’s achievements serve as a testament to Ford’s unwavering support for female talent and determination in traditionally male-dominated arenas.
As we celebrate International Women’s Day and reflect on the invaluable contributions of women in the automotive industry, Schicker Ford of St. Louis stands proud to be part of a legacy that champions diversity, inclusion, and empowerment. Together, let us continue to celebrate and uplift the remarkable “car girls” who drive progress, inspire innovation, and shape the future of Ford and beyond.
