2012 Ram 1500 Truck and Winter Driving Conditions

The demands of winter driving require that we pay special attention to road conditions, vehicle performance, and maintenance. In some cases, weather conditions can even help to determine the type of vehicle we drive. Here, in Albuquerque, we can expect freezing overnight and morning temperatures and occasionally snow. We have to be prepared for whatever Mother Nature might throw at us.

If you live in our local mountains or foothills or travel there for pleasure, you have a good chance of encountering snow. Slick and icy roads require that you have a vehicle that is equipped to handle the challenges of mountain driving. In addition, you never know when snow levels may drop and cover the valley floor, so you are more than likely to need four-wheel drive to move safely about town. Our selection of quality trucks that work well in all winter driving conditions are sure to appeal to a wide range of buyers.
