During the winter season in Pennsylvania, snowfall and slick roads are commonplace. Driving in these conditions can be dangerous, so it’s important to choose a vehicle that can keep up. Check out these top Toyota models with features designed to maintain traction and keep you safe, even during the cold winter season.

Sequoia

When you need to haul a large crew comfortably, the 2019 Sequoia is the model for you. This comfortable luxury SUV has a powerful V-8 engine, a spacious interior, and an available multi-mode four-wheel-drive system with a limited slip center differential that has a locking feature. You can also choose a Sequoia that comes equipped with an adaptive variable suspension system that controls the damping force of all four wheels’ shock absorbers in response to the road surface and driving conditions.

Take one of these leading Toyota models for a test drive at Performance Toyota and get ready for the upcoming winter. When you’re behind the wheel of a vehicle with all-wheel drive, traction control, and other impressive features, you can drive more confidently and safely this season.

Highlander

The 2019 Toyota Highlander is an excellent option if you want plenty of seating and a vehicle that handles well on winter roads. This three-row SUV is available with Toyota’s dynamic torque-control all-wheel-drive system with intelligence. It’s also one of the top crossover SUVs in its class when it comes to precise steering, handling, and off-roading. Other appealing standard features include five USB ports throughout the seating areas and a suite of safety features, which boasts a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, and automatic high beams.

Tundra

With the 2019 Tundra, you can take on roads in just about any condition. This powerful truck is the definition of strength, boasting high towing and hauling capacities and plenty of appealing features. Although it comes standard with rear-wheel drive, four-wheel drive is available as an upgrade. This system includes active traction control, an electronically controlled transfer case, and an automatic limited-slip differential to improve handling in slick road conditions.

Every 2019 Tundra also comes equipped with traction and stability control, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist, and smart stop technology. For chilly winter mornings, choose one of the Tundra models that have heated seats and a windshield wiper de-icer.

4Runner

For the adventurous winter driver, the 2019 Toyota 4Runner is a top choice. This powerful SUV is more traditional, showcasing a body-on-frame construction and a solid rear axle that makes the drive feel more like a pickup truck. It is extremely capable on and off the roads, thanks to its high ground clearance and four-wheel drive system.

Even the base model comes equipped with features designed to improve the experience when you’re off the beaten path, such as skid plates, a power-operated liftgate, a 120-volt cargo outlet, and fog lights. If you plan to spend a lot of time off-roading, opt for the TRD Off-Road or TRD Pro, both of which come standard with four-wheel drive and specialized features.
