The rally legend's Ford F-150 was modified to be used in the snow and has a supercharged V8
A customized 2009 Ford F-150 owned by the late Ken Block is up for sale with a $195,000 asking price. While that’s a lot of money for a nearly 15-year-old F-150, this is no regular Ford.
The pickup is known as the RaptorTRAX and was built to be used in the snow. As such, a company by the name of SVC Offroad in Hurricane, Utah, removed the original wheels and replaced them with a set of custom tracks that are perfect for use in the snow but can also be used in the mud, on gravel, and across rocks. When needed, these tracks can be removed and the original wheels can be installed.

Many other changes have been made to Block’s unique F-150. These include new King shocks with remote reservoirs, bespoke upper and lower control arms from SVC, underbody skid plates, SVC long bars, tubular bumpers, and fiberglass fenders. The original 5.4-liter V8 has also been removed and replaced with a 6.2-liter V8 coupled to a Whipple supercharger and producing a cool 650 hp. This engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system.
SVC Offroad didn’t stop there in customizing the car and has also installed a roll cage, a custom rear bed cage, a waterproof outdoor stereo system, Recaro Sportster leather and suede seats in the bed, a Warn winch, a custom roof rack, and 30-inch and 50-inch LED light bars up front.
The truck has been listed up for sale through LBI Limited. The company has sold a handful of Ken Block’s rides in the past, including his 1986 Ford RS200, 2013 Ford Fiesta ST RX43, 2011 Ford Fiesta GYM3, and the famed 1977 Ford F-150 Hoonitruck.
