Off-Road Truck Racing

An unlimited class, the trick truck racing class was first introduced to the industry in 1994, offering an exciting new addition to the sport of off road truck racing. Trick truck racing is a form of high-speed off-road racing using trucks specifically designed for speed, endurance, and durability.

Trick trucks are vehicles designed to endure grueling conditions and tough off-road terrain. Most trick trucks utilize long travel suspensions and high-power engines. Many of the trucks used in trick truck off road racing can exceed 120 miles per hour and have naturally aspirated V8 engines that generate anywhere from 700 to 850 horsepower. Trick trucks weigh in at an incredible 5,000-7,500 pounds—with a solid weight allowing the vehicle to better absorb blows.

Up front, most trick trucks use independent A-arm suspensions while featuring a three- or four-link setup with a solid rear axle in the rear. While trick trucks are always designed for speed and agility, durability is the number-one consideration—as trick truck racing can mean your vehicle sees tough terrain, extremely long courses, and trying off-road conditions.
