Explore the Full Hybrid Ford F-150® Lineup in Muskegon, MI

When winter hits Western Michigan, driving can become treacherous. Snow, slush, and icy conditions around Muskegon and along the lakeshore make roads slick and hazardous. That's where vehicles equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) can give you an advantage for safer driving. Differences Between All-Wheel Drive and Four-Wheel Drive While they are similar, AWD and 4WD systems have some key differences. AWD is typically always engaged and powers all four wheels automatically as needed, ideal for rapidly changing conditions. 4WD is often driver-selectable and best for severe conditions and off-roading. In Muskegon, both AWD and 4WD will boost your traction and stability in adverse conditions. Here's how AWD and 4WD help in winter weather: by powering all four wheels, the systems can send the engine's power to the wheels with the most traction. This greatly reduces tire slip, helping you accelerate, stay in control, and keep moving on slick roads. With enhanced traction and stability, AWD and 4WD are musts for driving around the Grand Haven area in the winter.
