Ford Ranger and Ranger Raptor owners can boost their 4×4 driving skills and explore the capabilities of their trucks through two Ford Ranger Getaways training sessions.
The first, on August 26, 2023, will be at the M4TREC Beginner 4WD Course in Semenyih, Selangor. The second, on September 16, 2023, will take place at the Sar4Trac Beginner 4WD Course in Kampung Barieng, Bau, Sarawak.

Both training sessions will commence with a thorough safety briefing and an introduction to the fundamentals of 4×4 driving and navigating obstacle courses.
With expert instructors closely overseeing the process, participants will actively apply basic techniques to overcome different obstacles in the hands-on session.
