Mid-State Ford: Winter Driving Tips for West Virginia — Keep Your Ford Ready for Anything

West Virginia winters can throw just about everything at drivers — snow, ice, rain, and winding mountain roads. That’s why at Mid-State Ford (https://www.midstatefordwv.com/) in Summersville, WV, we’re helping drivers stay safe and confident this season with a few smart winter prep tips for your Ford F-150, Escape, Explorer, and Bronco Sport.

1. Check Your Tires and Tread
Traction is everything when roads get slick. If your Ford’s tires are showing wear, consider replacing them with all-season or winter-rated tires for better grip on mountain roads. Our team can help you find the right set and even install them on the spot.

2. Don’t Forget the Battery
Cold weather can cut battery strength in half. We offer free battery checks to make sure your Ford starts every time — even on those freezing mornings in Nicholas County.

3. Keep Up with Oil and Fluids
Make sure your oil, antifreeze, and windshield washer fluid are all winter-ready. A quick check during your next service visit at Mid-State Ford can prevent bigger issues down the road.

4. Pack a Winter Emergency Kit
Every Ford — from the rugged F-150 to the family-friendly Explorer — should have a kit with blankets, jumper cables, and an ice scraper.

5. Use Remote Start Smartly
Many Ford models come with FordPass® Connect, allowing you to warm up your vehicle safely before you even step outside.Whether you’re commuting through the hills or heading to a WVU game, Mid-State Ford is here to help keep you safe all season long. Schedule your winter service today at Mid-State Ford in Summersville, WV, and drive with confidence this winter!
