Ford AWD/4WD Models

2020 Ford Explorer AWD

The concept of drivetrains where equal work is done by all four wheels is one of the main features in modern automobiles. Ford Motor Company has embraced this oncoming rush, and the experts at your Erie PA Ford destination want to tell you more about how our cars, trucks, crossovers, and SUV models take advantage of the Ford Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) and 4-Wheel-Drive (4WD) systems to deliver confidence on the road. This “smart” function of your calculates steering wheel angle, accelerator pedal position, and other measurables to send power to the correct wheel for the best grip, but remains prepared to reverse polarity once the road levels out. The team at McCandless Ford Meadville are ready to show you around the lineup of Ford AWD and 4WD vehicles and then go on a test drive to witness this dynamic characteristic.

2020 Ford Fusion AWD

Ford Intelligent AWD drivetrains are often optional on vehicles such as the mid-size Ford Escape crossover model. When road conditions call for it, sensors tabulate and note measurements based on current speed engine throttle. Any loss of grip by the tires is picked up by the Ford Intelligent AWD system, and then 100 percent of all available torque is directed to the rear wheels to compensate for understeering, oversteering, and countersteering. The Ford Intelligent AWD system turns your run-of-the-mill Ford Escape into a grip monster, allowing you to enjoy the zippy turbocharged motors of this popular mid-size sedan model. Your local Ford dealership currently has both new and used Ford Escape models in inventory with Ford Intelligent AWD, so stop by and check one out today!

2020 Ford Escape AWD 4WD

Reserved for potentially labor-intensive models, the Ford Intelligent 4WD System offers similar amounts of traction-aiding attributes but also pitches in real-world advantages on rough terrain. The sensors detect changes in topography such as rocks, mud, grass, snow, or sand, and with the coupling of the Terrain Management System™, they really start to show their mettle. The Terrain Management System™ touts five different selectable drive modes to give you the ultimate, on-the-fly decisions on how your Ford Explorer will behave on differing topographies: Normal, Mud/Ruts, Sand, Snow/Gravel/Grass, and Hill Descent Control™. Ford AWD and 4WD vehicles will let you beat the Pennsylvania winters and afford confidence during the dry months to let it rip for spirited driving.
