I think he is a member on here. Looks like the same truck from last Dakar...someone came on a few months back saying he bought the truck and wanted to race the Daker.

The 2012 Dakar Rally is underway. According to the entry list, there is a Ford Raptor entered. The driver is Joaquin De Uriarte Perez from Mexico. Entry #401.

It is the same guy. Aside from the paint, it looks just like Sue Meads Raptor.

I saw it. The Toyo AT2 looks nice, and comes in at a skinny 69.9 pounds.
65,000 mile tread warranty as well, that's amazing.
