It will be a long time before anyone will forget the Arkansas winter of 2021. With over 10 inches of snow accumulation, the winter storms shut down much of everyday life across the state. It was difficult to leave the house — to go to the store, to work or to respond to emergencies. If you weren’t lucky enough to live on a street that was cleared by the city, then you were stuck in your house for days if you did not have a 4WD truck to save the day.
While this winter is unlikely to be as intense as the last, it is likely that we will experience some degree of snow or ice. If you wish to be able to leave your house during a snowstorm, Ford has a few truck options to enable you to do so. With a capable drive train, a powerful engine and a tough exterior, these trucks will help you take on winter.
2021 Ford F-150: The All-Terrain Beast'
The 2021 Ford F-150 is the best-selling truck in America for a reason: it is a versatile driving machine, capable of meeting the needs of any driver. That includes the winter needs of performing well on snowy or icy roads. The F-150 is equipped with four-wheel drive to provide traction on any road condition. It has also been tested to function in temperatures as low as -40 degrees, meaning it can easily withstand even the worst Arkansas weather. Finally, the cabin of the 2021 Ford F-150 offers a dual-zone temperature control and heated seats to keep you comfortable when it’s cold outside.
2021 Ford Ranger: Nimble and Capable
While the 2021 Ford Ranger is not as big and strong as the F-150, it is still more than capable of handling the worst Arkansas winters can throw at it. The 2021 Ranger boasts a rugged steel frame and available 4x4 capability to handle ice and snow. If you’re looking to have a bit of fun in the snow, you can easily tow a four-wheeler behind the Ranger with its 7,500 pounds of towing capacity. The Ranger’s interior is designed for the cold weather as well. It also offers dual-control temperature control and heated seats as well as all-weather floor mats to help you easily clean the mud and snow off your floorboard.
