If you buy a high-performance car, there’s no shortage of factory-backed training programs to teach you how to be fast and safe behind the wheel.
However, buy a high-performance off-road truck or SUV and your driver training options will be somewhat limited. Sure, there are schools that can teach you the basics of maximizing traction on soft, squishy materials, but very few will cover the finer points of rock crawling or high-speed pre-running in the desert.
Ford is helping to change that with its programs built around its Raptor series of vehicles, and the latest program is designed for the new Ford Ranger Raptor 2024.
Similar to the Ford Racing F-150 Raptor Assault School designed for the F-150 Raptor, which has been in operation since 2012, the new Ford Ranger Raptor Assault School is a stand-alone program exclusive to Ranger Raptor owners. The cost is included in the purchase price of the truck, but participants will still need to cover their own travel and accommodation expenses.

The program will begin in June and will be held at the Ford Performance Racing School in Tooele Valley, Utah – a location with high desert terrain that is both picturesque and ideal for Raptors.
The one-day program offers classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction and teaches participants how to navigate a variety of terrain and challenging maneuvers, including rock crawling, desert racing, rock climbing, side climbs and descents.
Ranger Raptor Assault School joins other Ford driving school programs, such as the aforementioned F-150 Raptor Assault School, as well as the Mustang Dark Horse Track Attack, Bronco Raptor Off-Roadeo SchoolIt is Bronco Off-Roadeo School Software. The Bronco program was recently opened to non-owners as well.
