Ford safety features for winter driving 

If you are looking for a new Ford truck, sedan, or SUV for winter driving, pay special attention to its drive system, tires, and safety features. You’ll want a truck with AWD (all-wheel drive) for additional traction, winter tires for the same reason, and advanced driver assistance safety features for more protection in cold weather. 

Ford vehicle accessories to buy for the winter 

Other than winter tires, we also recommend new windshield wipers for winter. Those are car parts though; what about accessories? Well, some models might have available seat heating, steering wheel heating, snowplow packages, truck bed covers, and more. Basically, we have accessories to keep you warm and keep your truck free of snow.
