Raptor Assault - debrief thread

[UsedRaptor]

Truck eleven is for winners. Why you ask. Because there is two Number 1's in it!

Sounds like you're on the path of planning a cool road trip. I did more in 2020 than I wrote about, and will do more on my upcoming trip. I love driving, and I love driving my Raptor. I've never owned a better vehicle for taking a road trip.

We drove to Florida in December, and put about 3,900 miles on it. Loved every minute of it! After my upcoming trip I'll have put more miles on my 22 in one year, than any of my previous Raptors. I drive a company vehicle, so the Raptor will often sit for 2-3 weeks at a time. It would be longer except I make excuses to drive it. Almost like the 16 year old with a new driver's license asking if mom needs him to go to the store for anything...lol.

Raptor Assault is a cool experience, and I guarantee you'll learn something about your truck, or at the very least you'll have a better understanding of some of the features and settings.

Yes...I'm thinking a cross country camping trip with the family later this summer, the kids would love to see a lot of the Dinosaur/excavation type things between Colorado and Utah, I'd love to see wildlife and do some hiking, I would love to get over to the west during hunting season, 2 days of the however many days we need out there could be Raptor Assault. I'd add my wife to the experience too, if she is going to be driving the Raptor here and there she better have the same education and experience I do!

So I’m going to the assault in may I’ll be driving a long way so the wife and I are making the week of it. Definitely want to go to Moab and explore around. Just wondering if anyone can give some suggestion on some trail heads or some nice places to visit while in the area.
