When snow and ice blanket the ground and the idea of a mountain trip is calling you, the most responsible and fun way to tackle the road is in a 4&#215;4 or all-wheel drive car with winter tires, generous ground clearance, and of course heated seats. We put together a list of some of the most capable and comfortable winter-ready cars that have been released or redesigned within the last couple years and are waiting to accompany you on your adventures this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ford Bronco Black Diamond<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/11FlOqUPR1KwinyEiNcXPA-scaled-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.turo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/11FlOqUPR1KwinyEiNcXPA-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25243\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ben\u2019s 2021 Ford Bronco Black Diamond (Bozeman, MT)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ford Bronco is one of America\u2019s quintessential SUVs, and its return in 2021 was huge for the automotive community.

Ben\u2019s rarer four-door Bronco is also equipped with the Sasquatch package, bringing glossy aluminum rims, added torque, and position sensitive dampers.
