Took my 2022 Braptor to Johnson Valley for some high speed desert fun. Went with my son and his crew of F150 Raptors and Modified F150 to be Raptor like. Some have Mid-travels kits etc.
BRaptor V6 in Baja Mode is really impressive. Turbos and shift points were spot on. So much fun to drive. Had plenty of power. The entire vehicle felt very solid and planted even on the large washouts and whoops.
Johnson Valley is worked over currently. A lot of trophy trucks have been racing and practacing so the whoops are larger and steeper than typically. For a stock BRaptor i was amazed. Having said that, I will be in the market to upgrade the suspension in the future. For many people the stock suspension will be perfect. Very smooth on the washboard roads and medium whoops. Once I really got after it, I was wishing for a stiffer setting on the shocks. Once King Shocks or Fox comes out with and aftermarket option, the BRaptor will be next level.
Everyone in our group was impressed with the performance of the Braptor in the desert.
