It’s that time of year here in Wisconsin: SNOW TIME. While snow is beautiful and you can do many outdoor activities in the winter with snow on the ground, it can sometimes be difficult to run from point A to point B on the road. If you live in the country, things get even harder when snowplows aren’t as plentiful and sometimes it takes hours for them to come back. Anyone who lives in Wisconsin will tell you that life gets a lot easier when you have a reliable vehicle to drive in the snow during those blustery days. Here is a list of some of the best cars you can drive in the snow, why they’re the best, and the best part? They are available here at Schmit Bros: most of them are in both new and used models!
The Ford F-150: Any F series Ford truck is basically a no brainer when it comes to brawn and dashing through the snow. Making 4-wheel drive trucks since 1959, Ford has always been somewhat ahead of the game. Made for harsh conditions like mud, sleet, rain, and snow, this truck is Built Ford Tough.
Ram Trucks: Ram trucks are such a staple in the truck world, it’s hard to imagine a world without them. 4-wheel drive comes standard, and with many makes and models having heated seats and a heated steering wheel, you’ll warm up fast in the cold. With a large body and a powerful engine (Yeah, it’s got a Hemi) you’ll have no problems getting to where you want to go.
The Ford Explorer: Not only is it a stylish SUV that can handle any road condition, but it’s also got intelligent 4-whel drive with Terrain Management. Because of these features, you can move quickly and shift into specific settings to match the terrain you’re driving on. Sand? Wind? Rain? Snow? It’s got you.
Jeep Grand Cherokee L: Not only can you get to where you want to go, you can do it in extreme comfort. With 4-wheel drive standard on all Jeep Grand Cherokee L models, going through any weather condition will be a piece of cake. Also having heated seats, heated steering wheel, and massage options in your front seats, you’re going to be extra relaxed- even when the snow is pouring down.
Chrysler Pacifica: The top-of-the-line van in the snow, according to Kelley Blue Book. Also equipped with all-wheel drive for extra traction and electronic stability control, it helps ease navigation during sleet, ice, and snow, not to mention one of the best safety ratings.
