Raptor owners from across North America descended on Lake Havasu, Arizona, for an unforgettable weekend of off-road adventure and community at Raptor Rally 002.
Ford Communications and Ford Racing, in partnership with Imagination, hosted the second annual event, bringing together over 700 attendees and 400 registered trucks for two days of high-octane experiences and a celebration of all things Raptor. Some enthusiasts travelled from as far as Florida and Ontario, Canada, underscoring the growing passion behind this one-of-a-kind community.
The rally gave Raptor owners the chance to take on a variety of off-road challenges. From trail drives and jumps to side-tilts, hill climbs, and rock crawls, participants put the Raptor’s legendary performance to the test against every obstacle the desert could throw at them.
A few lucky guests even got to experience the thrill of a hot lap with professional drivers, seeing firsthand how far the Raptor can go when pushed to its limits.
Beyond the dirt and dust, Lake Havasu State Park became the heart of the action – the ultimate Raptor Basecamp. Here, guests explored interactive displays from vendors and sponsors, checked out the latest upgrades to customise their trucks, and connected with more than ten Raptor Clubs from across the country.
Workshops led by off-road professionals also offered insider tips and techniques, giving participants the chance to learn, share, and grow as part of an ever-expanding community of Raptor enthusiasts.
The weekend wrapped up with a closing ceremony that brought the Raptor family together one last time. Attendees were first to learn about new Ford news and Ford Racing updates, as well as being treated to a special appearance by Global Ford Racing Ambassador Daniel Ricciardo, who delighted fans by taking his own Raptor R for a spin through the Lake Havasu terrain.
With record-breaking attendance (over 2X Raptor Rally 001!), an electric atmosphere, and a shared love for the thrill of the drive, Raptor Rally 002 cemented its status as a must-attend event for the Ford Raptor owners – celebrating innovation, performance, and community.
