Raptor Assault Course (honest review)

[DinoBirdClaws88]

Day 1-
Really not needed and you don’t have to go. It’s a quick get-to-know you and a 5/10 catered dinner. Wish we would have skipped this and stayed another night in Zion park.

Day 2-
Off road/trail- rock crawl- and dirt track/Baja were all about 1/3 each of the day. Would definitely have preferred more dirt track (The slow pace of the trail and rock crawling was a drag and unimpressive) The dirt tracks 2wd and 4wd was the best part of the day and had really good instruction. Learned a few things about the truck and the technology, but most of us already know the truck pretty well.

You share drive time with another person, so really you’re only driving 1/2 the time (hopefully you like you partner)

Over all it’s a decent course, but I really only enjoy 1hr of the entire day.

If you’re local I’d go 100%
A few hours away 50/50
Far away (like me from FL) I wouldn’t have gone if I knew what I know now and would have taken a vacation with the funds I spent on travel.

The drive time is probably the deal breaker for this Minnesotan. I did the bronco off rodeo and each paying party got a bronco so you didn’t split drive time unless you brought a guest.

I throughly enjoyed the Bronco Off rodeo in Moab. Got to explore caves, saw Dino tracks on trail, explored a mine and learned a thing or two. Sounds cliche but probably the best vacation I’ve had. Then I hit Poison Spider Trail and few other trails while I was in town. Those trails are no joke. My belly pan skids got a beating.

As for the Raptor School I might go but won’t be till next year.

Speaking of which I love the Baja bars on the Raptor. Might have to order those once available! Thanks for the sneak peak.

Going Monday next week. Only costs are hotel and rent car. Guess it still sounds worth it.

At least I have proper expectations going in so it will be less of a let-down.

Sounds like I may skip the dinner and do something else around SLC.

Thanks for the update. Hope you gave them that feedback.

As someone who has gone here for both my F150 Raptor and my Raptor R I would go to the dinner. I know the dinner is not 5 star, but if you meet someone cool it will make picking a partner for the next morning a little easier.

I'm going on the 7th and 8th of July. Living a short distance from Jackson, WY, it's an easy drive. Got friends in SLC too. I'm going because I've been kicking myself for not going for the RS drive experience and didn't want to miss this one. Thanks for the expectations. Sounds like my bar needs a bit of lowering. Particularly interested in the off-road segment.

Ok great! Thx.

Interesting about the drive time and partnering up. I went to the Track Attack school in SLC UT when I bought my 350R and the dinner was actually pretty good. Prime rib, baked potato, salad, and desert. I'm undecided about this Raptor school.

Nice. Where did you get your molle and bars? Looks like you can also fit a bed cover too. More info pretty please.

The molles are from my 21 F-150, the passenger right rear fits perfect, the forward ones from the F-150, are tapped and drilled into the sides just forward of the bed cover roll. the driver side rear Builtrite is supposed to come out with a left rear to work with our power points. The bed cover is a Retrax with the integrated slot for racks, installed the Armadillo mid-size chase rack, no drilling into the bed! I also have a low-profile cross rack for the paddle boards.

Thanks for the review. I had already decided not to go, but now I don't have to wonder if I'll ever look back someday and regret not making the flight out.

Mind if I send you a DM? I was just out there and was wondering what living is like in that part of WY.

Thanks for sharing!

Do you think you learned anything helpful while there about the truck or is capabilities?
