Ways To Protect Vehicle From Flooding

All of South Florida and most of Florida overall can attest to the tremendous power and strength of storms and hurricanes going back decades. From Hurricane Irene to Katrina and Andrew in 1992, we’re a target here in Florida. While some buyers aren’t worried, some are looking for vehicles that can handle the more practical driving needs for driving or daily commutes here in Florida. The key is to have a vehicle with enough ground clearance to cruise safely over the puddles and massively flooded areas. There have been plenty this past summer, but as hurricane season hits it’s still now and through the fall, we recommend opting for a vehicle like a Jeep or a Ram pickup for those who are tired of having their ride not be able to drive through a miniature lake that piled up on their drive home. Ram is all about providing high-end luxury with its pickups. These trucks are capable of going down any streets that have been backed up for hours with rain water that needs time to slowly drain. A simple ten minutes of heavy rain is all it takes for some areas to spot the backups and puddles that form and get worse the longer the rain goes.

To Lift Or Not To Lift Kit

While some brands like Jeep and Ram provide lift-kits, it would be recommend to have the professionals take care of adding those lift kits. SUVs are very prevalent in North America, as are luxurious new pickup trucks. Owners can also check their current ride out for a proper splash guard that ensures important and viable cables are safe from high waters and rocks so nothing can damage the undercarriage of a vehicle. Many customers would be surprised to learn that indeed the bumper has detached from the clippings of their original splash guard or the splash guard is worn down. Wear and tear on vehicles is common and the more a driver has driven a vehicle, there’s a higher chance for some damage there and perhaps wires or sections that could be splashed with water causing harm to the productivity of a ride. No one wants to truly flood their engine or vehicle when driving!
