Haha, tuck it in every night in the garage, don't use the heater and always drive slow.
Should have name the truck "F-150 Snowflake."
The suggestions are the result of testing in Michigan and Alaska at temperatures as low as -40 degrees.
1: Park inside as often as possible to reduces its exposure to extreme temperatures.
2: Leave the vehicle-plugged in, which allows it to draw from the home's energy to maintain its temperature without draining the battery.
- Use the pre-conditioning feature available if you're planning a long drive.
- Rely on the heated seats and steering wheel rather than the climate control system for warmth, as they are more energy efficient.
- Leave the cabin heater off or very while the vehicle is charging.
- Clean snow off the vehicle to reduce aerodynamic drag, which can have a significant effect on efficiency.
- Drive at lower speeds when the temperatures are low.
- Keep the tires inflated to the recommended pressures.
