Yupp I drive mine here in 4 seasons and some blizzack a on factory 18 and keep the 20s for summer . The hybrid has lower center of gravity but have never had a issue with snow or rain . You just have to learn how to drive it and use eight tires for eight seasons . The oem tires would be ridiculous in snow and super cold winter . The awd is as you’d be surprised a great take because it drives as a regular Pacifica unless certain parameters are suspect . Todays awd for this pacifica isn’t like the awd vehicles of the 80-90 ( its awd on demand and fwd rest of the time ) . If you drive one you’ll know .

You can take all the electronics you want but without tires to move you abs and traction mean nothing . Turn of the electronics and with proper tires you’ll drive away from anything with vehicle assist and mediocre tires . Anybody who says factory tires are fine for winter is misinformed , tires from factory serve to help the vehicle feel dynamically and for fuel economy . Awd without proper tires is no different than 4x4 with proper tires . Unfortunate thing is people think that they have awd they are invincible . Learn to drive without the aids first , awd helps but in hands of a poor driver still makes them a poor driver .

I meant that some people feel that they can drive thru anything with either awd or 4wd. Awd doesn’t make one a better driver , heck sometimes it makes people dumber . And as far as Canada ....lol.....do you guys actually know anything about Canada winters . I think last year we had like 2 good snowfalls and that was it . Sure it’s cold and then it gets mild again , too funny .

You guys do realize it’s not a awd full time . It’s a fwd and utilizes motors for awd when it meets these parameters; wipers on with rain , a certain temp , tire slippage , rain on windshield , Otherwise its just regular fwd , brakes are bigger as well as half shafts , cooling , etc .

Name me one car salesman that doesn’t up sell ...lol....the reality is every piece of equipment could be quantified as a necessity in a certain situation or instance . Nothing is off the table in a car buying experience , too funny .
