Pro stuntman Ken Block loves his Fords. A custom 1960s Mustang and the GRC Fiesta he used for quite a while, before totaling it at a Global Rallycross event, are just a couple of his most well-known rides. Now Block's got a new toy to play with, a heavily modified Ford F-150 RaptorTRAX, which he took out to the backcountry with his snowboarder friends. Their adventures out on the slopes might actually make you look forward to winter.
To get ready for the journey, Block and his Hoonigan racing crew modified the drivetrain, chassis and suspension of an F-150 Raptor. They also had to add a roll cage, skid plate, fender flares and LED lights, as well as special gearbox mechanisms that were used to replace the wheels. If that weren't enough, they hooked up a supercharger to the V-8 engine, boosting horsepower to 600 hp.
Along with these and other mechanical changes, the Hoonigans included snowboard racks, a barbeque and cooler to the truck's design. You need to refuel after a long day of shredding the gnar after all. See how the truck turned out in the video below and watch as it crushes through the snow like a boss!
