Hi Robert,

I just bought a new 2018 Nissan Titan and was thinking about covering it until the weather improves. My father said this could damage my truck: is he correct?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi, Brian!

Congratulations on your new purchase, the 2018 Nissan Titan is a great vehicle to tackle winter in. The answer to your question isnâ€™t a straightforward yes or no, let me explain.

Your father is right that a car cover could harm to your Titan. This is because they can trap moisture and cause rust to form on your truck: of course, that's the last thing you want for a new vehicle.

But, as I explained, this topic isn't that straightforward; there are some winter car covers which provide proper ventilation. These products act more like shields which sit above your vehicle, instead of hugging it.

If you canâ€™t get a winter cover that provides proper ventilation, you should try to store your truck somewhere which will protect it from the elements. You don't need to have an air-conditioned garage, justÂ make sure that it's a dry place.

Thank for the question, Brian! Contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington if you ever need anything else.
