Ken Block's Latest Ford Raptor Does Everything Well
As if Ken Block didn't have enough awesome Fords in his garage, now he's got yet another Raptor to tool around the desert in.
Multi-talented
Ken Block is a guy known for his diverse array of talents. He's a successful race car driver who's campaigned in a wide variety of motorsports. He's the owner/operator of Hoonigans and the stunt driver behind the immensely popular Gymkhana series. But perhaps more importantly to us, Block is also a big-time Ford fan with a variety of killer rides in his stable.
Be Different
The newest addition to Block's ever-expanding garage is this rather amazing looking Ford Raptor. But we know what you're saying - what does the guy need another Raptor for? Well, this one's a little bit different than anything we've seen before.

Wider Is Better
Those upgrades including a Gen2 Mojave front bumper with skid plate, a Gen2 Baja Rear Bumper, and a Gen2 Bypass Rack in the bed that features built-in storage for two full-size spares. The ADV Fiberglass front fenders add another 2 inches of width to each side of the truck. As if a stock Raptor wasn't wide enough!

Light It Up
Rigid Industries ADAPT LED series light bars, measuring 50 inches up top and 30 inches in the front bumper, round out the rather attractive package. But all of those goodies aren't even the most impressive thing about the outside of this truck.

Glow In the Dark
The coolest thing about Block's newest Raptor, in our humble opinion, is the black reflective Hoonigan all-over repeat pattern covering the pickup from front to back. Which, in layman's terms, means that the whole thing glows in the dark.

Toughen Up
But make no mistake - this Raptor isn't just some kind of show vehicle. Block actually drives his vehicles, and he drives them hard. So there are plenty of upgrades here to help the truck withstand that kind of abuse.

Laundry List
Up front, SVC fitted the Raptor with their Mid Travel Kit with Fox 3.5 bypass shocks. At the back, the truck has SVC traction bars with Deaver Suspension +3 leaf springs and Fox 4.0 5-tube bypass shocks. A set of 17-inch Fifteen52 Turbomac HD wheels fitted with 37-inch Toyo Tires Open Country M/T tires rounds out the tough package.

Shenanigan Ready
SVC upped the power of this Raptor by adding their own custom tune, an SVC intercooler, SVC intake, SPD turbo adapters, and a full Stainless Works exhaust system. With 550 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque, it's safe to say this impressive looking Raptor is ready for some serious shenanigans!
