[QUOTE="MagicMtnDan, post: 109656, member: 2768"] We've all read about the Raptor SVT test route that Ford set up for their testing and the early runs they gave to the editors of the magazines and online journals: Above from: [URL]http://jalopnik.com/5343872/2010-ford-f+150-svt-raptor-first-drive[/URL] Above from: [URL]http://www.off-road.com/trucks-4x4/review/ride-impression-ford-f150-svt-raptor-23717.html[/URL] We knew Ford tested the Raptors in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park but it's a big place. Until tonight, when I found the following references to the test route, I never knew quite where Ford tested and ran the Raptors. We've been to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park numerous times and I've always suspected that we've driven on some/all of the trails and areas they ran on but I wasn't sure. Now I know we've been on them without realizing it. So, here's the route: [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/12/2009/08/500x_2010-raptor-google-maps.jpg[/IMG] Link to the above map and article: [URL]http://jalopnik.com/5343872/2010-ford-f+150-svt-raptor-first-drive[/URL] Link to a map of the above area with some pics: [URL]http://www.panoramio.com/map/?user=3576796#lt=33.165720&ln=-116.141968&z=4&k=0&a=1&tab=5[/URL] Now I need to compare the above maps to the maps of the area: [ATTACH=full]182586[/ATTACH] Link to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park map (pdf): [URL]http://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/638/files/ABDSPmap.pdf[/URL] [ATTACH=full]182587[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]182588[/ATTACH] Google map of the area: [URL]http://maps.google.com/maps?rlz=1T4GGLL_enUS379US379&q=borrego+springs+map&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl[/URL] [/QUOTE]
