Ford tests drives new Raptor on snowy, icey U.P. roads

If there is a dream job for some Yoopers, it would be test driving cars on the backroads of the U.P. While that dream may not come true any time soon for most, it is still OK to live vicariously through the actions of others.

Excerpt: It snowed almost all day yesterday, but that was actually perfect because we got to test the Raptor in a completely different environment than the desert sand the truck is usually associated with. Ford took us to a winter test facility where we were invited to drive on a number of courses including a circular ice track. We then hit some snow-covered backroads to further test the truck.

For the rest, including photos of the new Raptor in action, go here.
