Tips for Caring for Your Truck When Plowing

When traveling with a plow on your truck, check its height before you embark to ensure it won’t scrape the ground. Since the plow adds weight to your truck, it’s also a good idea to increase your following distance so you’ll have ample time to stop.

As you drive, keep an extra eye on the temperature of your transmission, too, since your truck will be working harder than usual. Along with this precaution, remove the plow when you aren’t plowing, especially if you’re traveling longer distances.

To keep your truck from overheating, it’s important to angle your plow in a way that allows air to flow freely through the grille. This exact angle varies depending on the type of plow you have.
