When the winter weather hits Long Island, having a vehicle that can handle snow, ice, and rain is essential. That's where four-wheel drive (4WD or 4x4) and all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles come in. These specialized drivetrains provide improved traction, control, and stability in slippery conditions, making them ideal for navigating treacherous winter roads.

Whether you're commuting to work in Centereach or running errands around Smithtown, we have the right kinds of used 4x4- and AWD-capable vehicles that are ready to get you there safely.
Some of the benefits of having a vehicle equipped with 4x4 or AWD capabilities for winter driving include:
- Improved traction on snow, ice, slush and wet roads
- Enhanced control and handling in slippery conditions
- Reduced risk of getting stuck or sliding off the road
- Ability to navigate unplowed roads and deep snow easier
Of course, even with 4WD or AWD, it's still important to practice safe winter driving habits. Reduce your speed and increase following distance when roads are covered in snow or ice. Accelerate and brake slowly and gently to avoid skidding. If you live in hilly Farmingville, approach inclines carefully to maintain traction.
It's also crucial to ensure your vehicle is properly maintained and equipped for winter. This means using winter tires for maximum grip, keeping your gas tank at least half full, and having an emergency kit with blankets, flashlight, jumper cables and more. Schedule a service appointment at JTL Auto Sales and our expert technicians will prepare your 4x4 or AWD vehicle to face harsh Coram, NY and Long Island wintertime road conditions.
