Getting Your Ford Ready for a Shuswap Winter

Winter around Salmon Arm, Sicamous, and Revelstoke means snow on Highway 1 and Highway 97A, and stretches where BC requires winter tires or chains — not optional gear, but a real safety and legal requirement for the season.

A four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive Ford — F-150, Bronco, Escape Hybrid, or Ranger — makes a real difference getting up your driveway or over the Malakwa hills, but 4×4 and AWD don’t replace winter tires; they work together. All-season tires lose grip well above freezing, long before you’d expect.

Our service department stocks and installs winter tires, handles seasonal tire swaps and storage, and can check your battery, wipers, and block heater before the cold really sets in. It’s a lot cheaper to get ahead of it in October than to deal with it stuck on the highway in January.

Book a winter tire installation or vehicle check online, or ask us about 4×4 and AWD options on your next Ford.
