There is also an Off Road Expo in Pomona CA every October at the LA county fairgrounds.I've been to this one and it's packed with folks and lots of cool 4x4 stuff.

 

There's one in March also:

Off Road Expo Pomona (Fall)

The October event is usually more well attended, though.

 

Good catch,I forgot about March
P.S. Nice truck

 

In the N.E. it's Yankee Lake in Ohio. Trucks Gone Wild is there every year. I don't know how many it draws but I'd say there is well over 1k every friday night in the summer. Truck Night at Yankee Lake

 

Monster Jam?

 

every year at SEMA there is a off road section. also i think that sema does a off road expo too, not just the big sema. But it is not public, but there are close to 100,000 or more people there every year......in Las Vages

 

Wnats up Brady, I had'nt talk to you in a while. Just thought I would say "Hi".

 

Mudfest did draw thousands of people, that was the problem, too many people which=alot of drunk idiots in vehicles=no good, i think the last mudfest was the last one in august
should definatly look into muddigras though over in keanansville, draws huge crowds and is basically a more organized mudfest

 

If its for the Raptor.... I thought I read somewhere that the Raptor is tailored to Desert driving?

 

If ford wanted a mud truck or a trail truck they should have built one, what they built is a pre runner truck, so desert racing is going to be there biggest crowd.

Independent suspension, front or rear, does not last in the world of big mud.
Trails it can work, i would look for something like a jeep fest or such...

 

Already marketed as a race ready truck out of the box. Desert,desert,desert. Marketing can limit peoples perception of a product. Need to have it at a drag strip, and run it,

ex Commerce Ga, summer nationals.

Show that it can do more than run through the desert. Even better would be a drag against a Z 71 and Tundra, ONLY if it could win. Prob not though.

 

Wait until it come with the 6.1 then race the tundra and the z71....

 

It def. will not beat anything in a drag with the 5.4 unless it has some serious gearing.

 

maybe if the slap a lightening 5.4 in it?
