This weekend’s weather is supposed to be lovely and you’re probably sitting at your desk considering what you should do to take advantage of such an opportunity. If you live along the West Coast, you should fill up the tank and hit the open road to experience one of these iconic road trips in the region. Before you leave town, it pays to be sure your car is in good shape and won’t cause any problems while you’re away. You can refer to routine maintenance articles on the Cars.com blog should you have any questions about things like tire pressure, oil life, battery function and even tips to improve gas mileage.
As an alternative, you can also consider travelling by a truck. There might be room for just a couple of people in such a vehicle, but with additions like tonneau covers (you can look here to learn further about them), they’d be perfect for storing your luggage safely. Aditionally, though trucks are sturdier than cars, and possibly safer, you would still need to get the necessary checks and servicing done before you embark upon your journey.
