Conquer Any Terrain: Explore Ford 4×4 Systems

If you live in British Columbia, you know how unpredictable the weather and terrain can be. From rainy seasons and snow-covered highways to rugged backcountry trails, BC driving demands a vehicle that can keep up. Whether you’re commuting through Abbotsford, tackling muddy construction sites in Mission, or heading into the mountains near Chilliwack, Ford 4×4 vehicles are built to meet every challenge head-on.

What Is a Ford 4×4 System?

A Ford 4×4 system—also known as four-wheel drive (4WD)—is engineered to send power to all four wheels, delivering superior traction, control, and stability on challenging terrain. Unlike full-time all-wheel drive (AWD), most Ford 4×4 systems are part-time, giving you the flexibility to switch them on or off depending on the road conditions.

Built with versatility, durability, and performance in mind, Ford 4×4 systems are ideal for:

  • Navigating snowy roads and icy driveways in winter
  • Powering through flooded gravel roads and muddy trails
  • Hauling trailers, boats, or heavy equipment
  • Heading out on backcountry adventures and camping trips
  • Driving confidently through BC’s ever-changing terrain

Whether you’re a tradesperson, weekend adventurer, or daily commuter, Ford 4×4 vehicles offer unmatched capability throughout BC’s Lower Mainland and beyond.
