Sime Darby Auto ConneXion-Ford (Auto ConneXion) successfully launched the highly anticipated Ford Raptor Rev—Malaysia’s first premier off-road event—at Bay 13, Sepang Circuit. The adrenaline-fueled two-day event, held on February 22 and 23, 2025, was designed to provide Ford Ranger Raptor owners and off-road enthusiasts with an immersive experience. Featuring expert-led workshops and guided off-road training sessions, the event drew an impressive turnout of 80 Ranger Raptor owners alongside numerous off-road enthusiasts eager to witness the vehicle’s full capabilities.

“We are thrilled to unite the Ranger Raptor community for this one-of-a-kind off-road adventure. The Raptor Rev is more than an event—it’s a celebration of what makes the Ranger Raptor exceptional. It provides a hands-on opportunity for owners and fans to experience the Raptor’s superior performance while fostering a strong sense of community,” said Turse Zuhair, Managing Director of Auto ConneXion.

Ranger Raptor owners who registered for the event participated in exclusive training sessions covering essential off-road skills, including jumping and drifting, tackling 4×4 obstacle trails, and Baja lap training.

A highlight of the event was an in-depth workshop led by Ford expert Chris Dean, who flew in from Australia to provide a comprehensive breakdown of the Ranger Raptor’s FOX suspension system. His session offered attendees a deeper understanding of how the Baja-inspired suspension enhances off-road performance, particularly in high-speed rugged conditions.

The Raptor Rev was not just for Raptor owners—it welcomed the public to enjoy a variety of thrilling activities, such as:

  • Hot Laps: Visitors experienced the Ranger Raptor’s Baja capabilities firsthand with professional drivers on a challenging off-road course.
  • Test Drives: Attendees had the chance to take the Ranger Raptor for a spin on dedicated on-road and off-road tracks.
  • Entertainment & Giveaways: The event featured live performances, food trucks, and exclusive merchandise giveaways.

Adding to the excitement, well-known personalities including actor and motor enthusiast Ezzrin Loy, footballer and 4×4 enthusiast Intan Serah, former national bowler Syaidatul Afifah, and professional drifter Hee Wei Seng participated in Hot Laps with lucky fans. Attendees also had the chance to interact with their favorite stars and capture memorable moments.

Renowned adventure tyre brand BFGoodrich, the main partner of the Raptor Rev, enhanced the event with expert technical support and engaging tyre-focused workshops. Attendees explored BFGoodrich’s booth, which showcased the newly launched KO3 tyres, engineered for superior durability and off-road performance.

“We are excited to be part of Ford Raptor Rev, where we shared our expertise and connected with the off-road community. We hope this collaboration empowers drivers to tackle any terrain with confidence,” said Prichapakorn Dangrojana, Managing Director of Michelin Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei.
