BIG, LIFTED PERFORMANCE

The Traxxas lineup of exciting and capable High Trail TRX-4® models is expanding with the all-new 1979 Ford® F-150® truck. Sporting top-of-the-line Ranger XLT trim, the Ford F-150 High Trail is equipped with a factory-installed Long Arm Lift Kit and stands over an inch taller than our standard height TRX-4. The exceptional all-terrain capability, smooth running drivetrain, and Traxxas Tough® durability drivers expect from TRX-4 are all there. Black roll bar, chrome light housings, longer wheelbase, and slotted aluminum-finish mags complete the authentic, period correct look.

HIGH TRAIL EDITION

Large 2.2" slotted mag wheels and Canyon Trail tires tame even the most technical trails to extend your scale adventures farther than ever before. The factory-installed Long Arm Lift Kit raises F-150 High Trail™ Edition over an inch taller for superior ground clearance.

EXTENDED 336MM WHEELBASE

F-150’s extended steel ladder frame lengthens the wheelbase to 336mm to capture the pickup’s real-world proportions perfectly. A longer wheelbase also translates into greater climbing stability and a smoother, more stable ride over rough terrain.

CLIPLESS BODY MOUNTING

The clipless body’s hidden latching system gives F-150 High Trail Edition clean, flowing lines for new level of scale realism and convenience. On the trail, F-150’s clipless body holds tight when you need it, but releases in just seconds to access the chassis.
