Designed for you to train in your vehicle, you will receive a full day of foundational 4WD training.
Our 1-Day Fundamentals Class is structured for those new to driving off-road. (Or even those just looking for a quick refresher!) While adhering to the principles of Tread Lightly, you will learn the OEX Five Systems Method of operating a four-wheel-drive vehicle and the OEX Five Steps to Negotiating any Obstacle.
With an instructor at your side coaching you while you learn, drivers will work through multiple terrain challenges. Additionally, instructors will help you understand how and when to use common traction control features available on newer vehicles.
Some of what you’ll learn:
• The 5 Vehicle systems – How to predict what they will do and when and why they do it!
• Pre–drive vehicle check and preparation
• Proper driver position including wheel grip and steering management
• Left foot braking techniques
• The most common obstacles and their required technique and navigation
• The trail driving line to include tight and off camber scenarios

• Proper transmission and transfer case/center differential gear selection and choice
• Recovery introduction, equipment terminology and proper selection
This course includes morning coffee, lunch/drinks, take home course material, t-shirt, and a certificate of completion. Each person in the vehicle over the age of 16 must be registered as a participant.
We look forward to seeing you!
