In a way, there was some truth to what Tanner Foust said. The Nürburgring isn't exactly the first, second, or even third place you'd look to see a pickup truck, let alone a Ford Raptor, bouncing around the curbs and ripping through the truck.

Which is precisely why the hooning maestro and Top Gear USA host had to do it. Can't say we blame him.

During a recent trip to Germany, Foust and his Rockstar team went to the world-famous race track and decided to put a Ford Raptor through its paces. With most Germans expecting supercar after supercar to take to the track, the sight of a hulking American pickup truck doing the same was definitely a sight to behold.

After all, you don't always see something like this happening in the Nürburgring. But when you, it's definitely worthy of being chronicled and shown on YouTube.

Check out the video of Tanner Foust running roughshod on the Nürburgring with the Ford Raptor!
