what up,
well i am going to be driving way outta town here on wednesday. i will only have luggage and possibly my dirt bike, no trailer, any thing that i need to know, get, do, prepare for? or am i just being to cautious? thanks and happy holidays

 

Nothing much but a safe comfortable ride, i the best trucks in the world, and better gas mileage then in town.. happy holidays and safe travles,

 

And a thank you sir and a happy one to you too!

 

Just a couple comments....

Keep tires inflated. If you're on the highway, long haul, overinflate 3-4 pounds. Tires will run cooler and better mileage.

Make sure your coolant is protected if you're in a freezing area.

Check all you lights.

Good wiper blades and washer full.

Have a safe trip and a Merry Christmas

 

I always like to do an oil change a few days before a long trip. 1) its nice to have fresh, clean oil and 2) do it a couple days prior to make sure there are no surprises (missing oil caps etc)


Most importantly.... remove your spare, check that its inflated and lube the parts that hold and lower the spare. Should you have a flat in the middle of nowhere, its nice to have a fully inflated spare that you can get to (lowering cable isnt seized)


Enjoy your trip!
