How to Get Your Pickup Ready for Winter

Winter is just around the corner, and if you're like most people, you're probably wondering what you need to do to get your brand-new pickup ready for the cold weather. Here are a few tips on how to winterize your pickup. Essentially, you'll want to take a few simple steps to make sure your truck can handle the colder temperatures and shorter days.

Oil

One of the most important things you can do to keep your pickup running smoothly all winter long is to check your oil before the cold season hits. You should also consider changing to a heavier-weight oil if you live in an area with particularly cold winters. Heavier-weight oil doesn't thicken as much in cold weather, which means it will flow better and lubricate your engine more effectively. If you're not sure what to do, you can bring it to our service department, and they will help you out.

Tires

Another important thing to pay attention to is the condition of your tires. Cold weather can cause tire pressure to drop, so be sure to check your tire pressure regularly and inflate them as needed. Since we live in Canada and you mostly already have snow tires on your truck, you're all set! But if you're in need of new ones, we have a great selection.

Battery

The cold weather can also take a toll on your battery, so it's important to make sure it's in good condition before winter sets in. If your battery is more than three years old, you should consider replacing it. We have a wide range of batteries that will fit your truck perfectly.

Windshield Wipers

Your windshield wipers are another important component of your truck that you'll want to pay attention to as the weather gets colder. Ice and snow can make it difficult for your wipers to clear away debris, so be sure to inspect them and replace them if necessary. You also want to consider changing your wiper fluid to one that is designed for use in cold weather.

Winter Tune-Up

Last but not least, one of the best things you can do to prepare your pickup for winter is to get a tune-up from one of our certified mechanics. They will be able to inspect all of the major components of your truck and make any necessary repairs or adjustments. This will help ensure that everything is running smoothly when the weather gets cold.

Taking care of these five things will help ensure that your pickup is ready for anything winter throws its way. Of course, this is just a general overview–be sure to consult with one of our certified mechanics before making any major changes or repairs to your vehicle. But following these tips should help you get started on getting your truck ready for winter driving!
