AutoExec Summary
Ford won the 2024 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with the electric Ford F-150 Lightning SuperTruck, despite the vehicle initially stalling due to an electrical issue. Driver Romain Dumas was able to restart the car and still secure the victory. The SuperTruck’s time fell short of the 2023 SuperVan time by less than six seconds, indicating that without the glitch, the SuperTruck’s time would have been 20 seconds faster than in 2023. The F-150 Lightning SuperTruck is part of a series of experimental electric vehicles built by Ford Performance in conjunction with STARD to showcase and develop electric vehicle technology.
