Debuting Ford’s Seventh-Generation Mustang:
Following The Stampede
On September 14th, 2022, Ford Motor Company unveiled the first new Mustang performance series in 21 years: the Ford Mustang Dark Horse. The event, coined, “The Stampede,” took place at the Detroit Auto Show and was broadcast live across Ford’s social media channels. As the seventh-generation Ford Mustang appeared, goosebumps were sent down the spine of every onlooker. The Ford Mustang Dark Horse can only be described as sinister, and it filled the space with a mischievous energy that could drive any thrill-seeker mad with adrenaline. In a press release the same day as the event, Ford outlined some of the specs for the seventh-generation Ford Mustang, which are just as satisfying as the model’s first impression. Join the experts at Key Scales Ford as we break down these specs and discuss how they will affect the performance of the seventh-generation Ford Mustang.
Believe It Or Not, It’s Street-Legal
When a vehicle is as track-capable as the seventh-generation Ford Mustang, its practicality and legality when it comes to driving on roads may be questionable. However, the Ford Mustang Dark Horse line has improved aerodynamics, upgraded internal and external hardware, sophisticated new software, and advanced tuning with an available six-speed manual transmission, so it is the most track-capable, street-legal Mustang ever made. The seventh-generation Ford Mustang debuts Ford’s new 5.0L V8 engine, which offers a projected 500 horsepower. The sportscar will also have an available Handling Package, which makes it even more aerodynamic with a ton of extra downforce. Launching for the 2024 model year, the Ford Mustang Dark Horse is the perfect combination of performance and beauty. Alongside the street-legal Ford Mustang Dark Horse, two track-only models will be added to the lineup, along with four other new racing Mustangs that have yet to be announced. If you think you have what it takes to tame the Ford Mustang Dark Horse, it’s time to talk to your friends here at Key Scales Ford.
Join The Race
If you are a thrill seeker, the seventh-generation Ford Mustang is going to absolutely change your driving game. Reach out to the team at Key Scales Ford if you are interested in receiving updates as the Ford Mustang Dark Horse makes its way to our lot!

Exploring Ford Technology
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;”>Over the last century, travel has drastically changed with what helps us get from one place to the next. It is no different each time you get into a Ford. Today, every time you take a seat in a Ford model, you are greeted by incredible technological innovations developed and built with American ingenuity. Some of the most significant changes come in the form of Ford driver-assist tech. Many of us remember the amazing SEEK and SEARCH buttons on radios from back in the day, but now we have voice-activated and on-demand entertainment. Our models are surrounded by Ford driver-assist technology sensors to alert us of obstacles, and we even can monitor our vehicle’s performance and ask for help at the push of a button. The sales team at Key Scales Ford is excited for you to see all these exceptional Ford driver-assist tech systems.
The seamless Ford SYNC®? 3 system provides endless entertainment options and navigation through a user-friendly touchscreen in your Ford model. Crank up your favorite songs with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility linked directly to your stereo. The system also gives you Bluetooth, navigation, and Ford with Alexa capabilities to help you enjoy your ride and find a new and exciting destination. The FordPass™ app on your smartphone is compatible with Ford SYNC® 3. This amazing app helps you find and pay for parking, start your vehicle, lock your doors, check our fuel and fluids, and even ask for roadside assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When you buy or lease a new Ford model and download the app, you are enrolled in the FordPass™ Rewards program, where you can earn points following purchases and completed service appointments.
Another Ford technology innovation is the Ford Co-Pilot 360™ system comes standard on all-new models and it surrounds your vehicle with sensors to alert you to danger on the road. Ford driver-assist tech system features BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane-Keeping System, Auto High Beam, Reverse Camera, and more. You can discover further details about Ford driver-assist tech when you visit Key Scales Ford, and we can go on a test drive in an excellent Ford model equipped with these systems.
Fall Maintenance Checklist
Is your vehicle fully prepped for the season? Here at your local Ford dealership, we are passionate about making sure each and every one of our customers has fully prepared their automobiles for the upcoming weather. Although it’s always sunny in Florida, as the seasons change it’s also a great time of year to make sure your filters, oil, wipers, and coolant have been changed as well. Often times we end up putting a lot of wear and tear on our car in the summertime. From extensive treks along the highway and family vacations to stop-and-go traffic. Therefore, it’s more than likely you’ve accrued some miles on your Ford. For the most reliable Ford maintenance, we’ve pointed out a few different aspects of your model in which it would be wise to examine before the winter season kicks off.
Routine Oil Changes
The service experts at your Florida Ford dealer encourage you to check out your vehicle’s handbook and determine exactly when to change your oil. There are many advantages to fresh oil in your Ford car, truck, or SUV crossover model. It is crucial to avoid metal-on-metal, resulting from an empty oil tank, which could ruin both your gas mileage as well as your engine as a whole. Routine oil changes are not only recommended, but they are also mandatory to keeping your Ford running like new. Contact us or stop by Key Scales Ford service center to schedule your Ford maintenance today!
Upgrade Your Windshield Wipers
Of all the seasons, autumn brings those late-night thunderstorms and howling winds that tend to blow dust and rubbage around the roads. A filthy windshield could be dangerous and result in eye fatigue from working harder than necessary to see. Filling up your windshield wiper fluid is a vital step to take, although to ensure your windshield wipers are working at an optimal rate, we suggest you get new wipers regularly. Be sure your windshield wipers are working at peak performance. Come to your Florida Ford dealer for the seasonal maintenance your vehicle needs to handle any weather or road conditions.
Fill Up Your Coolant/Antifreeze
The lingering summer heat has kept your engine running hot, and we want to ensure your vehicle makes it through the winter. You can ensure the health of your coolant system by flushing it out and filling it back up to the recommended amount. These preventative steps can save you loadsa time and money long term. Bring your vehicle to Key Scales Ford to get your antifreeze levels examined and refilled and keep your Ford operating optimally. We’ll gladly set you up with your Ford fall maintenance plan so that you and your car will be healthy and happy.
