The only trail I did not do was Poukipsee(sp), until I get lockers and possibly a small lift I didn't want to attempt it. The rest was handled perfectly. Personally I love the 5 speed and low gearing going up and down these trails compared to any side by side. However the leaf springs do make a bit of a rough ride. Definitely air those tires down. The side by sides will be zooming past, but slow and steady makes for much more appreciation of the beauty these trails provide.
Wow, that looks like a blast! So amazing...

We will be camping in Lake City for the summer. Look us up!I did the trails up around Ouray Colorado and Lake City areas a few years back but in my 2011 Ford Raptor. along with 5 more Raptors. Man there were some skinny areas. I had taken a rented CJ on these and had been beaten silly a few years before that. The Raptor did it like a limo! Lol. It was great when you would come across others in quads, side x sides and jeeps and this 6000 lb Ford was happily driving along at speed. Had a few 8-10 point turns but it managed wonderfully.
Unfortunately the Raptor met its demise when a guy stopped in his 2001 Buick in the middle of a 3 lane highway to offer gas to a stranded car at 5:30 am with no lights or flashers on either. I missed the stranded car when I went hard left but nailed the good Samaritans Buick at about 60 mph. Thank god nobody was hurt. The Raptor died.
I am hoping to do the same roads in the Roxor next summer.
