GUS VILDOSOLA'S 2017
FORD RAPTOR
PRE-RUNNER
T
he modern Trophy
Truck incorporates
the highest
level of off-road
performance
technology, igniting
enthusiasts and fans with the
desire to drive one competition.
The love for building a high-
tech off-road truck is one of
the reasons why Gus Vildosola,
team owner, business man,
driver, father, and 2015 SCORE
Person Of The Year, decided
to build his first race car in
1968. With many wins and
races under his belt, and son
"Tavo" taking the lead in the
race team, Vildosola hasn't lost
touch with trying to build the
fastest and most technologically
reliable Trophy Truck around.
This is clearly evident with his
latest project, this 2017 Ford
Raptor pre-runner, which could
arguably be one of his most
impressive vehicles to date.
While the Raptor isn't a
competitive race vehicle,
it's definitely built like one.
BURIED IN THE MID-SECTION OF

CUBIC INCH V8 THAT PUMPS
OUT 760 HORSEPOWER.
