6 ways to avoid unnecessary maintenance
- Make sure your load is distributed evenly to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on your truck

- Inspect your truck for damage after every trip – even if there doesn’t seem to be any damage, it’s better to be safe than sorry
- Regularly clean and wax your truck to protect the paint job from scratches and dings
