Whether you're looking for advanced technology or four-wheel drive, we'll help you take any season head-on with a Ford vehicle. Made to withstand any environment with high levels of performance and safety, the Ford SUV family is top notch. So, what makes a Ford SUV good for any type of weather, including the heat of summer? Determining the best vehicle for what you may need it for is not a one-size-fits-all situation. Ford carries a range of SUVs to suit all of your needs. Because unfavorable weather conditions, whether extreme heat, heavy rain, or bitter cold, can affect your ability to handle a vehicle, as well as your visibility, it's important to invest in a Ford vehicle that can get you through various conditions safely.  

Sports utility vehicles, or SUVs, are excellent choices when you're searching for a new or used car to get you through any season. SUVs have a more balanced weight distribution, and a shorter wheelbase compared to trucks, which also allows them to perform well in the rain. The best SUVs for extreme weather are: 

-The Ford Explorer performs well because it can handle a multitude of road conditions. With the intelligent Terrain Management System (TMS) with 4WD, the technology monitors and adjusts the vehicle's handling and traction based on changing driving conditions. The TMS delivers exceptional and fast adaptation to prevent the loss of traction, whether that be in snow or rain.

-The Ford Edge delivers conveniences and comforts to make any type of driving easy. Its features include four-wheel anti-lock brakes, hill start assist, traction control, and an all-wheel drive system. Vented leather seats are an option to keep you comfy on those hot summer days.

-The Ford Escape is also a compact crossover with four-wheel drive as an option to make for a smooth drive, regardless of weather. If the SUV detects any sign of slipping, it will transfer torque from the front to ensure you have the right amount of traction and handling. The SYNC system allows you to check the weather, connect to your smartphone, and get directions... all hands free when you need to keep your eyes on the road.

-The Ford Bronco is the newer kid on the block but has immense staying power. Coming standard with 4x4 wheel drive, in a multitude of comfort packages, as well as off roading options, the Ford Bronco is literally the definition of an SUV that works well in any condition. In GOAT modes, the Bronco is basically unstoppable and can easily handle the ice on the roads, the rain, the heat, and everything in between that Wisconsin weather likes to throw at us.
