It may be 2018 - but Ford (in partnership with aftermarket tuner, Hoonigan) is delivering a 70s' experience to North America. Prepare for a pick-up like no other.
According to Road and Track, a custom F-150 will soon make its debut. The Hoonitruck (designed by rally champion, Ken Block) is a beastly hybrid, blending the chassis of a 1977 model with a modern-day V6. The result is a circuit-ready platform that will crush the competition, delivering 914 HP.
The Hoonitruck is intended to dominate the Gymkhana 10 event (a series of races held across multiple locations). On the track it will dazzle guests - with its twin-turbo 3.5L EcoBoost growling with every rev. Custom Fifteen52 tires will anchor the body, delivering beadlock designs that will shred the pavement; while a custom 3D-printed manifold will ensure maximum intake levels, regulating valve performance with precision. The all-wheel-drive-train will further impress, providing smooth articulation and electronic stability control.
The true value of this truck, however, is its design - which utilizes body panels from the 1977 F-150. This creates a vintage effect on the track, with square fenders and a short-bed proving impossible to ignore. Hoonigan and Ford further emphasize the classic lines by adding orange wheel covers, a wide front bumper, and camouflage-inspired decals. The result is the perfect fusion of old and new.
