We bought two Raptors they used in this program and just a heads up to anyone looking to do the same...DONT DO IT! They were 2017’s with only 11K miles. Well...those 11k miles were 11K miles of them literally beating the living hell out of the trucks. A truck with 11K miles should not have a scratch on it, these things were so jacked up it’s crazy.

The Baja course was a joke. 35 mph and they are running radar guns to make sure you don't go over. This course was to feel the truck and how it handles in Baja mode. Doing 35 doesn't tell you anything. We even put the cruise control on through this section. I agree John was informative, still a jerk. Didn't the Ford Video say Drive it like you stoled it!! This message was from the Director of Special Operation at Ford.
@americantrucks6 жыл бұрын
That was not my experience nor the experience of our Raptor assault group on this particular day. We had a 'soft' speed limit of 55mph through the Baja section and there was no radar guns.

No, you drive their supplied trucks for a number of reasons. 1) Convenience- so you don't have to drive your truck thousand(s) of miles and take the added time to do so. 2) They tailor the class to the current model and therefore demonstrate its capabilities and tailor the drive modes to situations accordingly. 3) They can guarantee the working condition of the trucks and know that someone is bringing some S**box out there that will breakdown and ruin the day for the others. 4) You get to beat on someone elses truck- whats not to love about that?! -Justin
