Inaugural Raptor Rally Attracts Hundreds of Owners for One Day of Off-Road Fun
The very first Raptor Rally attracted around 300 visitors to Utah, who were able to have some fun off-road and check out some new paint color options for 2025.
This past May, The Blue Oval announced a brand new experience for owners of Ford F-150 Raptor, Bronco Raptor, and Ranger Raptor owners – the Raptor Rally, which was set to take place at the brand new Ford Performance Racing School location in Utah that just opened up in March. Registration for the first-ever Raptor Rally opened up shortly thereafter, offering participants a full day of fun including off-road excursions, meals, and workshops – all they had to do was bring their own Raptor vehicle on Saturday, September 21, and judging from what we’ve seen in the recap, it seems as if those folks got their money’s worth.
According to FoMoCo, around 300 owners, guests, Ford ambassadors, VIPs, friends, and media members arrived in Fairfield, Utah, for the inaugural Raptor Rally, and they were treated to quite the action-packed day. Along with plenty of off-road experiences – including trail rides – those folks got to attend expert workshops, jump their Raptor (that’s what they were built to do, after all), meet and greets, and take hot laps with Ford Performance 0ff-road racers Vaughn Gittin Jr., Loren Healy, and Chris Polvoorde behind the wheel.

What’s particularly interesting is that the Raptor Rally also included some new updates that were shown off for the first time, as well as examples of how Ford Performance engineers and drivers use what they learn from the automaker’s many off-road racing endeavors and then transfer it to road-going models.
Those who attended the Raptor Rally were able to scope out a host of new exterior paint color options that Ford will offer on its trio of hardcore off-roaders, too. The Ranger Raptor will be available in Marsh Gray and Desert Sand in its second model year in the U.S., while the F-150 Raptor will once against be offered in Space White. The Bronco Raptor is getting Marsh Gray, Desert Sand, and Ruby Red as new hues, and The Blue Oval pointed out that all of these updates occurred as a result of customer feedback. However, further details on the 2025 Ford Raptor lineup won’t be revealed until we get closer to the launch of all three.
