Ken Block is one of the most skilled racers on the planet, so if anyone can get an 8000-pound diesel pickup truck across, it’s him.
Block thought it would be a good idea to miss his huge 2019 Ford F-450 Super Duty towed the rig around an empty parking lot at the Utah Motorsports Campus for a recent YouTube video after one of his Hoonigan co-workers broke half a axle on his Mk 2 Escort.
With a curb weight of more than four tons and a suspension designed to tow 35,000 pounds, the truck isn’t the most suitable drift machine. But thanks to a Power Stroke V-8 6.7-liter turbo-diesel that churns out 935 pound-feet of torque under the hood, Block somehow made it work. And he does it spectacularly.
By keeping the truck in third gear, Block was able to do some really impressive slides, link transitions, and do perfect donuts around his broken Escort. ta. And because he has so much space to play with, there’s also a lot of speed involved. Give it to Ken Block to turn a towing rig into a capable drifting rocket.
