Winter is officially upon us, which means it’s the time of the year to prepare your vehicle for the season. While many models like the Ford F-150 can handle confidently in the snow, it’s always good to know that your engine and tires are in top condition for ice and snow. How should you prepare your truck for winter? We have a few basic tips and tricks that should apply to any truck owner. And, if you want to take advantage of truck winterization service near Brainerd MN, we can help your vehicle stay in top shape.
Basic Winter Truck Preparations
When cold weather comes, there are a few basic parts of your vehicle you want in top winter-resistant condition. These include:
Tires – Check tire pressure and tread depth.
Engine coolant – Make sure you are topped up and that there are no leaks in the system.
Battery – Should be holding a charge, and not too old.
Engine Oil – Switch to winter-grade oil at next oil change.
Windshield wiper fluid
It’s also a good idea to keep a winter supplies box (with a flashlight, flares, extra clothes and blankets, sand, a scraper, and snacks) in case you need it on the road for yourself or a car that you are helping out of the ditch.
