1. 2025 Ford F-150
As America’s best-selling truck, the Ford F-150 has proven itself to be incredibly capable during all seasons and conditions. It has several powertrain options, including the available 3.5L EcoBoost V6, which delivers 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. These impressive performance specs provide plenty of power to handle steep, icy hills or haul winter equipment.
RWD comes standard in most trims, but a selectable 4WD system is available to provide enhanced traction on slick surfaces. The truck has available LED projector headlights with Dynamic Bending Technology that improves visibility when turning or in blizzard conditions. Heated side mirrors and available heated windshield wipers are also useful for frosty days.
2. 2025 Ford Bronco
The Ford Bronco is built to handle rugged terrain with ease, which makes it excellent for winter driving. All Broncos come standard in 4WD and include a Terrain Management System with up to seven G.O.A.T Modes, including Sand/Snow and Slippery. The Bronco is available with either a 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 or a 2.7L EcoBoost V6. Both are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that is tuned for low-speed precision in challenging terrain, including snow.
The Bronco’s available Sasquatch package adds 35-inch tires, e-lockers, and high ground clearance, all of which improve performance in deep snow. The standard High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension also helps to maintain stability, especially on icy roads. Inside the cabin, passengers are sure to stay warm with available heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.
3. 2025 Ford Explorer
The Explorer is a go-to midsize SUV for drivers that want everyday usability and all-weather confidence. Like the Bronco, it comes standard in RWD, but has an available 4WD system with included selectable drive modes that enhance traction and stability.
The Explorer provides strong passenger comfort, with standard heated front seats and available heated rear seats. A heated steering wheel is also available, as is remote start functionality, so you can warm up the vehicle long before needing to step outside. An available 360-degree camera improves visibility when navigating snowy parking lots or backing out of icy driveways.
