KEN BLOCK’S FORD F-150

Photo: Tony Harmer RAPTORTRAX


Hoonigan Racing Division’s Ken Block
has an all-new project: his Ford F-150 Raptor-
TRAX, the ultimate backcountry snowboard expe-
dition vehicle. Block’s RaptorTRAX also happens
to be the world’s fastest snowcat for backcountry
snowboarding and will star in an upcoming
video to be released Winter 2014/15.

“This project is something I’ve had in my head


for awhile now,” said Block. “I absolutely love my
daily driver Ford Raptor, especially since I live
out here in the mountains of Park City, so to build
out this mountain assault vehicle with a Raptor
as the base platform made total sense to me. It’s
an absolute beast of a machine and I’m stoked
with how it’s turned out. Next up is for me to take
it deep into the backcountry ASAP to help me
and some friends slay some powder on our snow-
boards for a video project due out later this year.”

Built from a Ford Racing prepared F-150 Raptor


pickup truck and further enhanced by Special
Vehicle Concepts in California, the truck features
snowboard racks, a roof basket, a rear-mounted
winch, interior storage for snacks and drinks, an
exterior stereo setup for blasting music on-site
and plenty of exterior-mounted Rigid Industries
lighting to help guide the way, the RaptorTRAX
is purpose-built to be the best tool possible for
reaching serious backcountry powder.

In addition to the things that help make it the


best for a day of riding, the RaptorTRAX has
performance to back up the looks. Featuring a
Whipple supercharged 6.2L V8, a full roll cage,
Recaro seating and four burly Mattracks, there’s
not much that can stand in its way on the mountain.

Like what you see? Stay tuned for the RaptorTRAX in


action in a full video later this year, winter 2014/2015.
