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 isn’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 can’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, just make sure that it's a dry place.
Thank for the question, Brian! Contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington if you ever need anything else.
