Ken Block's Bonkers Ford F-150 RaptorTRAX Is Up For Sale
The late tyre-shredding icon Ken Block's 2009 Ford F-150 RaptorTRAX, a beacon of audacity and high-speed thrills, is now up for grabs. Priced at $195,000 by Philadelphia's LBI limited this extraordinary vehicle exemplifies the daring spirit that made Ken Block the icon he was.
The tracked truck may also just be the last opportunity for those looking to own a rolling piece of memorabilia from the iconic gymkhana specialist's collection. Block passed away nearly a year ago following a snowmobile accident.
Origins of the RaptorTRAX
This powerful vehicle made its first public appearance in a 2014 Monster Energy video, displaying its remarkable abilities and swiftly gaining over 5 million views. The truck's journey began as a 2009 Ford F-150 SuperCab, later transformed into the beastly RaptorTRAX featuring components from a 2013 Raptor.
A product of collaboration between Hoonigan and SVC Offroad, the RaptorTRAX was specially designed for Ken Block. It's powered by a 6.2-liter V-8 engine aided by a Whipple supercharger that helps it deliver 650 horsepower. Traditional wheels are replaced by Mattracks 105M1-A1 track systems, ensuring dominance over any terrain.
These tracks are engineered to conquer any variety of off-road landscapes, be it mud, gravel, stone, or, as in our instance, snow. To manage the burden and shocks of the wilderness, King shocks with remote reservoirs have been fitted on all four sides, complemented by SVC-constructed upper and lower control arms, SVC elongated bars, and underbody protective plates.
The truck's vinyl-wrapped exterior features prominent logos of Monster Energy and Hoonigan, paying tribute to Block's associations. It rides on Fifteen52 wheels and open country Toyo tyres. The F-150 RaptorTRAX sports exterior lights on the bumper, grille and roof.
The RaptorTRAX offers an interior that marries luxury with practicality. It's equipped with plush leather and suede Recaro Sportster seats, a quick-release BBQ, and a waterproof outdoor stereo system.
The RaptorTRAX comes equipped with a full roll cage, Recaro seats, and a proper fuel cell in the rear truck bed area, prioritising safety and comfort. A Warn winch adds to its rugged charm and practicality.
