Best Trucks for Snow

When snowy weather hits, you need a vehicle that can help get you through it, especially if you're in Bethlehem, Stroudsburg, Jim Thorpe, or Easton, PA. Ray Price Honda has some of the best trucks for snow available. You can trust that we'll be able to help you find something that can get you through the toughest of storms and their aftermath.

What Trucks Are Best for Snow?

At our Honda dealership, we understand that Pennsylvania often gets hit with bad weather in the winter months. We strive to make sure any driver who is looking for a truck that can barrel through any conditions can get one. In our truck inventory, you'll find the Honda Ridgeline, a midsize pickup truck that is great in the snow!

Standard across all Honda Ridgeline trims is the Intelligent Traction Management system, which has Normal, Snow, Sand, and Mud modes. These modes allow your truck to easily make its way through different surfaces. In the case of Snow mode, not only can it help you move across snow-covered roads and terrain, it can also make driving while it's snowing easier.

It's also equipped with the standard Intelligent Variable Torque Management™ AWD System, which also helps with traction on different surfaces by sending appropriate torque to the wheels. The Ridgeline comes standard with all-season tires. However, if you want to swap them for snow tires, you can visit our parts center and they'll get you set up.

You can also check out our used car inventory, which can feature Honda trucks as well as other trucks that are equipped to perform well in snowy conditions.

Why Should I Drive a Truck in the Snow?

Trucks can serve multiple purposes. You might need one for your job, especially if you're doing manual labor. You might just like the feeling of riding in a truck versus a sedan or an SUV. Whatever the case may be, driving a truck in the snow is advantageous for several reasons.

These vehicles usually perform better in the snow due to their weight as well as having bigger tires and a higher ground clearance. For example, a sedan sits lower to the ground. If it runs over snow, it could damage the underside, especially if the snow is frozen. With a vehicle that's higher off the ground, like a truck, you likely won't run into that problem.

The truck bed can also be advantageous when driving in the snow, as it's designed to hold a lot of weight. So, if you put heavy items in the bed, that will weigh down the truck even further. That way, it will have better traction on slippery surfaces.  

As it pertains to the Honda Ridgeline, some of its safety features it has may also help you maneuver through snow. The Lane Keeping Assist System can help you stay in your lane safely, while the Blind Spot Information System (BSI) with Cross Traffic Monitor will alert you, if there's a vehicle in your blind spot.
