Switchback

==Description==
Switchback is a design of pickup truck. Designed by Eric Tscherne, he was inspired by the old Ford F-150 design, with some elements from the Ford F-100 such as the dogbone grill; it is powered by a supercharged V8. The truck is lowered, with big wheels and surfboards for a California Custom feel. A roll pan and valance in the rear help to accentuate the twin pipes. The two-tone paint scheme, seen on the First Editions release, was also done by Tscherne, inspired by hot rodding and early 2000s custom sports trucks.
Switchback featured as car #02 of the Highway 35 anniversary event, driven by Alec "Hud" Wood from the Wave Rippers team. The design was, apparently, to debut as part of the event in it's First Editions form alongside 4 other designs; when World Race came into being, Switchback remained in the lineup with a new Wave Rippers livery and the First Editions version was released earlier.
