I am new to this and hope my question is in the proper topic... I just factory ordered a 09 Ford Fusion SEL 2.3L with 18" tires(blue suede pkg). I will take delivery in December. Will I need winter tires? I am an experienced driver and have had no problem with all season tires in winter. I do not know what to expect with the 18" tires included with this package. Does anybody have this package and live in a cold climate? The Ford dealer also told me that the Fusion can pull 1000lbs(class one hitch) . Is this true? I would like to pulll a small 14' alluminum fishing boat( 500 lbs max). Thanks
