Reminder to truck owners in colder climates!
Just a little reminder check your tire pressure as the temperature gets colder!

This is a good way to get worse mpg and bad wear and tear on your tires.

I just checked mine and was 6-8lbs lower than usual...

we hit down to 34 last week, with the recent weekly highs ranging from around mid-60s to low 80s. Tires were ranging from 5-10 psi lower than what I keep for city/hwy driving (32-35 psi)

Oh and btw, Don't forget the pressure in your spare tire.
