Even with busted ass leaf springs and two shelled out IWE, black widow (aka squatting dog) still made the 2500+ mile trip. So Carl and Linda gave me the "No poser raptor" sticker...

Its not so much as a place to go get lessons. Its finding someone who has experience, and just doing it.
I started teaching driving when I was 16. Started the day before I turned 17. All my experience was from my dad who was the lead instructor in performance driving for the las vegas police department, and just putting me on the track and having me find the limits. Its a lot of the ability to "feel" a vehicle. Know what each tire is doing, understand weight transfer from braking and acceleration to turning side to side.
This truck is incredibly easy to drive fast. Every move is smooth and predictable.
Go to a big open flat dirt area and just drive your truck around. Do high speed turns, let the back end kick out and find where the truck is comfortable. If you start in off road sport mode you will never spin out or loose control.

I wouldn't say never It's like having a gun in your hand it's always loaded, even if you just unloaded it. Always be prepared for the unexpected of cores I have a few years on ya. I can get the truck sideways or spin around in off-road mode with the traction enabled.

He's running WSI HDD leaf packs. Very nice setup. It takes that "shake" out of the back when you hit bumps on the road. And it allows you to hold much more weight in the bed while not feeling stiffer.
