If you live in Alpena, MI, you know the weather can affect how you get from place to place. Not only are we in the cold climate of Northern Michigan, but we're also right on the coast of Lake Huron, making things even more chilly.

Ford Vehicle Features

Ford has plenty of cars that are made to keep traction during winter months. It's important to have an all-wheel drive car for Alpena's climate rather than a front-wheel or rear-wheel. That's because all-wheel drive cars have better aerodynamic ability and are easier to maintain control of. New Ford cars are also known for their bright headlights and taillights, which help drivers to see during a snow storm or a cloudy winter day.

Safety is important when it comes to snow, but comfort is important as well. Some Ford cars also feature seat warmers and heated steering wheels.

Top Pick Ford Cars for Alpena

All Ford cars are suitable for driving in the snow, but there's a couple we favor. When it comes to driving in Alpena, MI, the Ford Edge and the Ford Escape are our top picks.

The 2019 Ford Edge is an SUV known for its cargo space. It seats 5 people and all rows have optional seat warming for the chilly months. It has an all-wheel drive configuration and is coupled with a sturdy design, also making the Ford Edge safe for snow.

The 2018 Ford Escape is like the Ford Edge because it is also an all-wheel drive car meant for easy handling. However, the Ford Escape features Dual-Zone Automatic Temperature Control. This means that you can have the driver and passenger temperature set to a different setting. So, if you're a snow bird and your passenger hates the cold, you can keep yourself and your passengers satisfied.

If you're looking for a sturdy car that can keep you from sliding during the winter, come test drive one of our all-wheel drive cars at Dean Arbour Ford of Alpena.
