Toyo Tires and Alan Ampudia Present AMPD featuring Lil Jon Live Now on YouTube

CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA -- Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. (Toyo Tires®) in collaboration with Papas & Beer and Four Loko has released AMPD, live now at https://youtu.be/za653LDo4Yo. The video showcases high-energy driving and stunts by 2019 SCORE Baja 1000 Overall Winner Alan Ampudia as he gives Grammy award winning rapper and producer, Lil Jon, the ride of a lifetime through Baja California.  The film features Ampudia’s 900-horsepower 2WD Pro2 Toyo Tires / Papas and Beer / Four Loko Ford Raptor equipped with Toyo® Open Country® A/T III tires.

“AMPD has been a concept that I’ve wanted to do for a long time and to finally see it come to life has been a dream come true.  I had a lot of fun driving Lil Jon around my hometown of Ensenada while pushing my Pro2 truck to its limit,” said Ampudia.  “The A/T III tires handled extremely well and I was impressed by how much control I had through the various road conditions.” 

A longtime member of Team Toyo Off-Road, Ampudia raced through Ensenada on Toyo Tires’ newest all-terrain tire, the Open Country A/T III.  The tires provide ample grip on the pavement and dirt alike and are durable enough to withstand the various obstacles encountered.  Filming took place in Baja California at the end of January.  

“We are extremely excited about this new video collaboration with Alan Ampudia and Lil Jon,” said Adrian Puente, motorsports manager for Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp.  “This fun, action-packed video is a chance to bring some much-needed entertainment to fans while also showcasing the incredible performance and durability of our new Open Country A/T III.”
