Winter can be harsh on even the toughest trucks, but we’ve got the RAM maintenance knowledge and skill to help you conquer the elements. One of the biggest challenges during the cold months is protecting the interior and exterior of your truck from the salt and road chemicals it’ll be exposed to after a snowfall. The experts at Freehold Dodge & RAM have put together these pro tips for keeping your pickup clean and shielded from damage.
Protecting the Exterior
Snowy and icy conditions are no match for your RAM truck. However, you’ll still need to protect the exterior from the corrosion and scratches that could be caused by salt and de-icing chemicals on our roads. Here are a few things our RAM maintenance technicians suggest:
- Park in a garage whenever possible
- When it’s above freezing, wash your vehicle’s exterior
- Apply wax or sealant to your recently washed truck
- Install mudflaps for an added layer of protection
- Always secure your truck bed cover to keep snow, salt, and grime out
Be sure to carefully inspect your truck’s exterior at least once per week as well. If you see any scratches or corrosion—or if the tires are losing air pressure or holding onto winter grime—you’ll want to make an appointment with our service center right away.
Keeping Your Interior Clean
Salt and road chemicals also pose a threat to your cabin. Consistently clean any garbage out of the interior to make sure corrosion-causing substances aren’t hiding underneath. If you haven’t already, invest in all-weather floor mats from our RAM maintenance center for maximum protection.
