I attended the TN Bronco Off-Roadeo last Saturday Nov 2nd and wow was I impressed. Everything exceeded my expectations! Terry was my guide and he was terrific, teaching us to rely more on techniques that we were taught vs the Bronco’s awesome tech. The trails were more challenging than I thought they would be but the were still no match for the Broncos. It is really amazing what these vehicles are capable of just stock.
The property was beautiful and it was a great time of year to be there with all the colors of fall in the forest. Even the food exceeded my expectations. I also loved all the cool swag we were given.
If you are in the southeast please take advantage of attending the Off-roadeo in TN. You will not be disappointed.

They do offer a half day class
Trying to talk my wife into going back and doing this - she didn’t want to drive during the full day as she thought it would be too difficult, but since then she keeps mentioning that she wished she had at least tried the easier sections.
Attended on April 12. Got lucky, rained for two days before but, we had wonderful weather. Trails were beyond my expectations, ” where we’re going we don’t need roads”! It’s a shame the videos and photos don’t do the inclines, declines and sideways justice. That being said, I still would’ve liked to of see them add a videographer to get videos of myself, A couple locations allowed me to get out and video others. Like to add a thank you to Brian our guide, @Fordbronco and #BroncoOffRodeo.
Tried to add video, guess I’ll have to create a YouTube video.
Finally did video.

We signed up for September in TN. I've never off roaded before. I'm scared to do this but excited at the same time. From what I'm reading the guides help you through the course. Do they let you know the easy trails? Like I said, I'm nervous. Can't wait for September to get here!

They’ll talk/guide you through the obstacles. Course tends to go from easiest to higher challenge so that you gain experience and confidence as you go through it. By the end of it you will know what every button and mode in the vehicle does, when to use it and will be confident in while your doing it. Won’t lie, there will be a couple of times when you be asking yourself can I eally do this, but the vehicle and guides will amaze you.

Got back from the Off-Roadeo (and other road trip visits) last week. It really was a lot of fun! My wife didn't have as much fun as I was during the trail drives, but I had a blast. Not only was the instruction and driving fun, the scenery and environment were absolutely beautiful! We had good weather after some heavy rain in previous days; the trails were good and muddy with the streams flowing pretty freely.
One thing I wasn't thinking about beforehand was just how gorgeous the area is. It all takes place on private land that belongs to a local farm. There's a calm lake with a family of geese just a few steps from the building. The woods and hills are so pretty - it's a shame I couldn't spend more time just chilling out there (not that I would take any time away from the instruction and driving!)
We ended up in the last Bronco in our group. I was nervous since it was a 4-door - noticeably bigger than the 2-door Bronco I own. After a bit it was nice to realize that the 4-door wasn't so big that it couldn't get through anything that the 2-doors in the group could. Being the last one in the group, it was a little nerve-wracking to go through The Waterfall with everyone else in the group out of their Broncos and watching 😂
I can't say enough good things about the whole day. Brian was a great guide and answered all the questions I could think of and so much that I hadn't even considered. Would definitely recommend doing it.
We stayed at the RT Lodge and had a great time there and in Maryville. Would love to go back just to spend more time there.

I wonder how much maintenance they do on the trail itself, if they've been doing this for a few years now I'd imagine the trail is more difficult now than it was in the beginning with ruts and roots etc...

What can I say in one word, WOW!!!! This venue was incredible, I have never done any 4 X 4'ing and the instructor and staff were amazing!! Wish I could upload a movie file instead of a pic so you can really see what you are in for!! My wife and I had a blast and I'm already looking at doing it again with one of our sons later this year!! Get out and do it no matter what your skill level!!
