Vehicles Guaranteed to Get You Through Any Snowpocalypse

Thanks to the polar vortex—or more accurately, vortices—this winter is the harshest that many parts of the country have seen in decades. As icy doom continues to close schools and turn roadways into skating rinks, it’s only natural that talk in the C/D office turned to the ultimate vehicles to get us through this modern Ice Age. Here are our top picks:

Volkswagen Touareg Tracked “Snowareg”

Take an already capable snow vehicle—VW uses Touaregs as rescue and recovery vehicles at its winter driving facility in Sweden—and outfit it with tracks, and your ready to ride out the Snowpocalypse in leather-lined comfort. Protip: Don’t forget the Grizzly Bear CDs, bearskin rug, and peppermint schnapps for midnight rendezvous with snow bunnies while waiting for the sun to return.

Ken Block’s Insane Ford F-150 SVT RaptorTRAX

There’s not much to say here beyond what we’ve already stated in previous coverage: As tracked vehicles go, this is the top dawg on our list for performance, but sneak attacks are out of the question.
