dunefreak Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Check out who was out at D in the new Ford Raptor filming with Motor Trend a couple days ago. Don't ever be a distracted driver. Which means don't put things on your windshield that would get in the way of your view of the road. Unless you're a professional like myself. And are filming with professionals (like I was with @MotorTrend yesterday with this setup). #trustmeImaprofessional #cameravision #FordRaptor A photo posted by Ken Block (@kblock43) on Jan 7, 2017 at 3:03pm PST Talking all things Ford Raptor with @JonnyLieberman earlier today while filming an episode of @MotorTrend's Ignition. To answer your question, yes, I jumped a new Raptor today. Both of these, actually. Multiple times. Ha! #toughworkdaytoday #jonnymayhavelearnedsomenewtricks A photo posted by Ken Block (@kblock43) on Jan 6, 2017 at 8:59pm PST I put the descent angle in the new Raptor to the test yesterday whilst in-between shots with Motor Trend out at Dumont Dunes. @Mvtt as a point of reference for just how steep this hill really was! #upsanddowns #angleofattack #FordRaptor A photo posted by Ken Block (@kblock43) on Jan 7, 2017 at 1:27pm PST Here's a shot to show the size of how big the dunes were yesterday that the new Ford Raptor was crushing with ease during my @MotorTrend shoot. Raptor for perspective (not a small truck!), obviously. Racing around the top like this is super fun and only mildly sketchy. #donttrythisathome #unlessyourhomeisadune #dunehoon #FordRaptor A photo posted by Ken Block (@kblock43) on Jan 8, 2017 at 10:15am PST One of the things that really impresses me about the Ford Raptor is the fact that I can do moves like this out in the dunes with it. Big, sandy, high slashes like this are a ton of fun. And just slightly sketchy! Ha. Good times. #doonagehoonage #Brrrraptor #dunehoon #FordRaptor A photo posted by Ken Block (@kblock43) on Jan 8, 2017 at 11:56am PST Some days my job is just no fun. Like having to show @MotorTrend just how well the new 2017 Ford Raptor can jump out in the sand dunes today. Zero fun. None being had. At all. Ha! #airtimeisthebesttime #frequentflier #FordRaptor #Brrrrraptor #MotorTrend #DumontDunes A video posted by Ken Block (@kblock43) on Jan 6, 2017 at 10:52pm PST Spent the all of today out in the Dumont Dunes in California with Motor Trend and two brand new Ford Raptors. We filmed a fun segment for their Ignition series (airs in another month or two). I thrashed the crap out of these Raptors and they took all of the abuse—wanted more! Can’t wait to get mine! #dunehoon #hooneverything #FordRaptor #MotorTrend #DumontDunes A video posted by Ken Block (@kblock43) on Jan 6, 2017 at 6:47pm PST Some days my job is just no fun.

sand chick Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Nice... Looking at the dunes in the background, they look fairly clean and some untouched, that wind tomorrow should cover those up for this weekend! Oh was I supposed to look at the trucks and not the sand? Quote
dunefreak Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 Haha that's kinda what I was thinking. Here's your dune report from Ken Block. The sand is looking good. 2 Quote
IrnBear Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Wow, Nice Sand... Umm, I mean Nice Truck 1 Quote
dunefreak Posted March 20, 2017 Author Posted March 20, 2017 Here's Motor Trend's teaser video. They want you to sign up for Motor Trend on Demand for the full video. No thanks! Quote
Vegas FX400 Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 He copied me...."Sideways".....#gotsidewayssuspension ?? hahahah....Those whoops fk you up 1 Quote
dunefreak Posted April 15, 2017 Author Posted April 15, 2017 haha they beat the crap out of that truck. I can't say they did anything I haven't done out there in a truck at some point. Quote
aceisback Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 "Don't see anybody coming for about 30 months", now that right there is funny. Looks like a capable vehicle but I still don't think I'd want to do all of that to my daily driver. Start playing Lotto maybe? Quote
Mr. Sandman Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 That was a waste of 18 minutes that I'll never get back. Not impressed... Quote
