For many pickup truck owners, doing their maintenance isn\u2019t just about saving money; they enjoy doing it. Car owners are much the same. And overall, working on a truck is similar to working on a passenger car. There\u2019s oil to change, tires to rotate, brakes to inspect, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, before you set down to purchase one, look at how pickup truck maintenance differs from car maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike Cars, Pickup Truck Maintenance Requires Up-sized Tools and Parts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is the most obvious difference between a truck and a car? Size. Wheels, brakes, engines\u2014trucks are physically larger vehicles, with parts scaled up to match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lifting the truck in the air, for instance, requires floor jacks and jack stands that can take the truck\u2019s weight. Checking their weight ratings is critical because you might be under the truck if the stands or jack fail. And keep a healthy safety factor in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just the weight of the truck as a whole to keep in mind, either. Pickups have larger wheels and tires than passenger cars, especially if the truck\u2019s built for off-roading. This becomes especially relevant if you need to change a flat or work on the brakes. Make sure you can safely remove the tire and wheel or have someone nearby to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, because pickups often deal with large workloads, many of their bolts and screws are larger or screwed on tighter than on cars. Double-check if you have the correct size tools to work on them. Information can usually be found in an owner\u2019s or repair manual or on owner forums. And for something like a stubborn lug nut\u2014especially if it\u2019s from a Ford F-150\u2014longer-handled wrenches can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pickup Trucks & Cars are Used Differently<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The larger workloads are just one example of how owners use trucks and cars differently. Cars, even all-wheel drive ones, are rarely designed to go off-roading. They also can\u2019t tow nearly as much weight as pickups can. But a pickup\u2019s expanded utility and overlanding abilities need to be considered during normal maintenance. Or, depending on how you\u2019re using your truck, \u201cspecial maintenance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your regular driving conditions, many truck manufacturers provide a \u2018special\u2019 or \u2018severe use\u2019 maintenance schedule. This shortens certain service intervals and includes additional inspection areas. If you drive your truck in a hot and dusty environment, carry huge loads, or even take multiple short trips in a day, you may need to switch to a special maintenance schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can You Wear or Tear A Truck?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carrying or towing large amounts of weight also plays into your truck\u2019s suspension and frame components. Suspension wears out in cars and trucks, but in most cases, only the shock absorber is regularly replaced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, since trucks can tow large quantities, PickupTrucks.com<\/em> explains<\/a>, that places additional stress on the springs and frame. Pickup trucks also have steering, suspension, and driveshaft joints that need to be regularly greased. If not, they can loosen or even break and cause the truck to go out of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your pickup truck\u2019s wheels and tires can also affect steering and handling, even more so than a car\u2019s. Going over large holes and obstacles, especially at high speeds, causes the wheels to go off-balance and out of alignment. Not only does this affect handling and ride quality, but this can also cause uneven tire wear, which makes these problems worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checking wheel balance and alignment is best suited for a repair shop. However, rotating your tires is doable for any home mechanic. Road & Track<\/em> recommends rotating your tires at the same time as your oil change\u2014your truck\u2019s already in the air, anyway. Rotating your tires helps extend their lives. It can also improve your ride quality and prevent uneven suspension burden, and especially-uneven wear can help diagnose or pinpoint a more severe suspension problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pickup Trucks & Cars Fluid Needs are Slightly Different<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There isn\u2019t any difference in what kinds of fluids trucks and cars need. They both need washer fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, and motor oil. For diesel, exhaust-treatment fluid is added to the mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with tires and suspension, truck workloads sometimes mean regular fluid-replacement intervals get shortened, according to CarGurus<\/em><\/a>. But there are further differences between trucks and cars when it comes to certain fluids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trucks usually have bigger engines than cars. These bigger engines need larger quantities of coolant and oil. But the kinds of conditions trucks see require slightly different \u2018recipes\u2019 for their oil. Truck oil is more viscous than passenger car oil. Also, and especially for diesel trucks, truck oil contains more additives and detergents to keep the engine clean. Both conventional and synthetic oil can be used, but experts suggest that synthetic oil additives may last longer. And, especially for trucks with high miles towing large loads, Popular Mechanics<\/em> suggests<\/a> high-mileage oils to help keep engine seals and valves in good condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pickup trucks have their unique maintenance requirements from cars. But with the proper prep work, home mechanics should have no problems wrenching away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
