Ken Block’s infamous 1977 Ford F-150 “Hoonitruck,” powered by a monstrous 914 horsepower twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, is gearing up to make tire tracks at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction (Lot #1365). If the No. 3 Batmobile wasn’t enough to rev your engine, this drift monster, famously piloted by Block through China’s death-defying Tianmen Mountain Highway in Climbkhana TWO, might just do the trick.
The Hoonitruck isn’t just a pretty face (or a terrifying one, depending on how you feel about 3.5L engines with custom 3D-printed intake manifolds). Built by the Hoonigan team and Detroit Speed, this beast took two years to morph from idea to reality for Ken Block’s Gymkhana series. Featuring a custom all-wheel-drive system, real beadlock wheels, Toyo tires, and a cab kitted out with a Bosch Motorsports system, it’s less “pickup” and more “track king.”
This low-slung F-150 also carries a sentimental story: it’s a tribute to Block’s first-ever car, a 1977 F-150 his dad let him learn to drive—and do burnouts in. Clearly, the apple didn’t fall far from the burnout tree.
With its intimidating stance and history-making credentials, the Hoonitruck isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a legend on four wheels. Catch it at Barrett-Jackson, where it will roll across the block with no reserve.
