AWD with a level and Wildpeaks. She did great in close to a foot of snow a few times in VT last year. I think you wouldn't have much of an issue with just some decent a/t tires though.
My XL did fine in the new england winter. Just used the app to start the truck with heat blasting 10-15 min before I leave each day. Although to be fair I've never had heated mirrors or wipers so I don't know what that's like.
Just the ford site, and they emailed me saying it was backordered and I can try to wait if I want. I waited but they ended up canceling. I just ordered again yesterday and it already shipped. Nice!
