Top 5 SUVs for Winter in Toronto, ON
Winter is a fact of life for Canadians, and that means making sure you have the right vehicle for tackling the cold and snow. Thankfully, “Built Ford Tough” isn’t just a motto. The Ford lineup of SUVs are all capable, versatile, and ready for the ice and snow. But which Ford is the absolute master of winter driving? Join the experts here at Downtown Ford as we run down the top five Ford SUVs for your cold weather needs.
1. Ford Explorer
The Ford Explorer is designed as the “jack-of-trades” of their SUV lineup. It was built to handle any road condition you can throw at it, thanks to its 4WD and Terrain Management System, which helps redirect torque across the wheels to optimize traction – and it includes a snow mode especially for winter driving. The Ford Co-Pilot360 system also includes a number of driver assistance and safety features to help keep you safe, even when the road conditions are at their worst.
2. Ford Bronco
If an SUV was built to go off-road, it can handle a little ice and snow. The Ford Bronco has a robust 4×4 system with AdvanceTrac traction control, an off-road tuned suspension, and a potent lineup of engines capable of overpowering the worst our winters can throw at you. We’ll include the Bronco Sport in this entry, too. It’s a more compact version of the Bronco, but equally capable, offering available advanced torque vectoring to help when traction becomes an issue.
3. Ford Edge
You might not expect the sporty and stylish Ford Edge to rank so highly, but it’s an SUV with a lot going for it during the winter. Not even counting the many standard comforts included in the Edge, such as heated seats, it features a potent engine, four wheel drive, anti-lock brakes, hill star assist, and traction control to help you in adverse road conditions.
4. Ford Expedition
The massive Ford Expedition is ready to tackle your winter driving while keeping you and your family safe and comfortable during the trip. It has seating for up to 8, and plenty of room for all your winter sporting gear. The available Control Trac 4WD system for the Expedition includes an electronic limited-slip differential geared for off-road adventures, and is perfect for driving in snowy and icy conditions. Plus, the suite of Ford CoPilot360 safety systems included in the Expedition ensures you and your passengers are going to be kept as safe as possible, even when the outside conditions are anything but.
5. Ford Escape
Just because we put it at the bottom of this list doesn’t mean the Ford Escape can’t handle your winter driving! While not as robust as some of the other SUVs on the list, the compact Escape is still equipped with AWD, including an AWD Disconnect which can switch you into FWD when you don’t need the extra traction for better fuel economy. It also offers available selectable drive modes to make driving on ice and snow easier.
