While much of the nation remains socked in by wave-after-wave of snow and cold, there’s one group of engineers at Ford that couldn’t do their jobs without it – the cold weather testers.
Up in Northern Michigan Ford engineering teams have been putting the all-new 2015 Ford F-150 through a variety of grueling, torturous and treacherous off-road tests in some of the state’s deepest snow packs.
