    I remembered there is a Jeep Off Road Driving Acadamy in Farmigton, PA. It is part of the Nemacolin Resort. If you go, a basic driving course is required, then they take you to the trails using Jeep Rubicons. Some reviews said it was enjoyable and not to expensive. I doubt they open up the trails to others.

    Bet! I'll jump mine right meow of a 100 foot ramp into a crowd of middle age men of lefties burning our flag. And when I land, and I will live; I'll exit the beast and give the middle finger to Ford...LOL. I'm joking. I love my Raptor...yup....Ford is being cute with me this week.

    Merica!

    10-4 on the research.

    Yeah, my buddy told me about that, but it's not open to the public.

    New Raptor Owner Here. Got my 2017 Jan. 5. I was #14 on my local Ford dealer's waiting list and in mid-December they had only received two. Started hunting high and low and the few I found were marked up $5K-$10K over sticker. Found one 70 miles away and asked for a drive out price and they quoted sticker plus TTL and a small documentation free. The Raptor was just about to ship out of Dearborn, so I gave them a credit card for down payment and then they kind of, oh, by the way, there is a $5K markup. Told them I had an email quote for drive out price and they reluctantly agreed to honor that. Tracked it all the way to the rail yard and got the call Jan. 5. Gotta' give the dealer credit for honoring the deal and leaving money on the table.

    It is Avalanche Gray (is it true that only the Raptor and Shelby come in A. Gray?) and loaded (sticker $70+). Love it, but I am having a small issue. I programmed my Home Link buttons for garage door, driveway gate, and subdivision gate. All three buttons worked great, but just this week after working properly for two weeks plus, the range on all three became unacceptable. I have to be on top of the device to make it operate and can't even get close enough to the driveway gate. I talked to the Home Link people and they said all they could suggest is to have the dealer order another Home Link system. The only change I had made was to swap out Am/FM antenna because the original was too long and whip lashing on the garage door. I also added a toll tag to the windshield, but it's on the passenger side. Neither of these changes seemed to coincide with the loss of range or seem logical, and Home Link agreed with that. Has anybody experienced anything like this in any vehicle?
