Prepare your car and yourself before heading out on winter roads with these tips.   The most important step for winter driving is to be prepared.

Low temperatures make normal tires to harden, causing a loss in traction and control. Winter tires stay flexible and have specialized treads that do not hold snow. Be sure to top off your antifreeze and properly defrost all windows before heading out. Take the initiative and put together a small emergency kit with thick gloves, [...]

Ram Trucks Reinvent the Tailgate

 

There is nothing that is so basic and simple that it can’t lend itself to being reinvented or improved upon, and the venerable pickup truck tailgate is no exception. Ram is taking a fresh look at tailgate technology and they have come up with a great new take. Their “Multi-Functional Tailgate” design has the potential to add a new level of convenience and functionality to pickup truck loading, unloading, and transporting.

 

Basically, they have designed a touchpad-actuated split tailgate whose sections can open independently, as either a traditional tailgate, or swing out like the rear doors on a traditional van. The two sections can also be opened together as a single tailgate.

 

The advantages of this design are immediately apparent if you’ve ever struggled to control a heavy, unwieldy, full-sized-truck tailgate while trying [...]
