When the snow starts falling and the roads turn icy in Auburn, IN, having a vehicle that can handle the slippery conditions is essential. That's where all-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles are helpful. At Ben Davis Chevrolet, we have a great selection of AWD and 4WD vehicles that can allow you to safely navigate winter roads.
All-Wheel Drive vs. Four-Wheel Drive
So what's the difference between AWD and 4WD? Both send power to all four wheels to provide extra traction, but they operate slightly differently. AWD systems are typically always engaged and automatically distribute power to the wheels that need it most. This makes them great for handling rapidly changing road conditions like you might encounter in Fort Wayne during a winter storm.
4WD systems, on the other hand, often let you choose when to engage the front and rear axles for maximum traction. This makes them ideal for deep snow, mud, or off-road driving. If your winter adventures take you off the beaten path in Kendallville, IN, a 4WD vehicle might be the optimal choice.
AWD and 4WD Trucks
At Ben Davis Chevrolet, we have a variety of capable AWD and 4WD vehicles to help you muscle through even the harshest winter weather. The Chevy Silverado 1500 and Silverado 2500 HD pickups are available with 4WD to give you the traction and power you need for work or play. When equipped with the available 4WD system, these trucks are ready to take on whatever Mother Nature throws your way in Columbia City, IN.
Silverado 1500 trims such as the Custom Trail Boss, LT Trail Boss, High Country, and ZR2 come standard with four-wheel drive for a strong grip on and off the road. Silverado 2500 HD models like the ZR2 also come with four-wheel drive, along with a lifted suspension for clearing deep snow.
If you're looking for something a bit smaller and nimbler, check out the Chevy Colorado mid-size pickup. Available with 4WD, the Colorado is a great choice for navigating tight city streets and crowded parking lots in winter conditions. With its comfortable, well-equipped interior, the Colorado is a truck you'll enjoy driving all year round.
Colorado Trail Boss, Z71, and ZR2 trims have standard four-wheel drive systems for powering through inclement weather in Fort Wayne. An available 2-inch suspension lift helps you drive over snow drifts.
AWD and 4WD SUVs
For families who need SUV versatility and winter-ready performance, we suggest the Chevy Equinox, Traverse, or Tahoe. The compact Equinox crossover is available with AWD to give you peace of mind in icy road conditions. Its efficient engine also helps you save at the pump as you drive around Hicksville, OH.
The midsize Traverse and full-size Tahoe SUVs are both offered with AWD to help you transport your family safely when the roads are coated in ice or snow. With three rows of spacious seating, ample cargo room, and an array of amenities, these SUVs provide capable, comfortable transportation in any weather.
The Chevy Traverse and Chevy Tahoe are both available in Z71 trims with standard all-wheel drive. They also have specialized suspensions with higher ground clearance to get over obstacles.
