Ford F-150 EcoBoost Baja 1000

Next week, Ford will enter a 2011 Ford F-150, powered by an EcoBoost engine, to take on the demanding Short Course Off Road Enterprises Baja 1000 long-distance, desert endurance race, marking the Ford EcoBoost engine racing debut. Ford will equip the F-150 off-road race truck with the same stock EcoBoost engine that already has experienced 150,000 equivalent miles of dyno testing and other real-world tests as the final step in the durability torture tests in the EcoBoost Endurance Challenge. In North America, Baja is probably one of the most demanding. The race changes from year to year. Every third year, the Baja race gets more challenging because the race starts in Ensenada and finishes in La Paz, which is a little over 1,000 miles depending on how the course is routed and those are pretty tough miles. Inside the United States there are a couple of races that are arguably tougher, but they are not as long. There’s a lot of learning that Ford achieves through off-road racing. It can be a new product that we’re testing. It can be a new part that we’re testing, and every now and then those pieces and those parts come together and we get some good notoriety and good publicity. The best known off-road race in North America is the Baja 1000. When you go down to Baja with a product that you want to prove, and you finish the Baja 1000, and you compete well in the Baja 1000, which plays very well throughout the country.

All of the entries in the Baja 1000 are privateers. Ford has given a little bit of engine help to Randy Merritt and Mike McCarthy, but even those entries are privateer entries. Ford gets a great proportion of the entries in off-road racing because the drivers and teams like to finish races and the Ford heritage helps them do that. We will probably have between 50-60 Ford entries in the Baja 1000 that are Ford badged in one way or another.

Who is talking??? Former F-150 Marketing Manager Mark Grueber, and Ford Racing Trucks, Off-Road and Grassroots lead Cliff Irey. Read the complete Ford racing news story here…
