GETTING YOUR TRUCK READY FOR HUNTING SEASON! | MCLARTY DANIEL BUICK GMC

Summer is drawing to a close and we’ll soon be heading into the chilly nights and cool days of fall. In addition to all the great stuff fall brings — changing colors, cooler temperatures, and nights around the fire — autumn means hunting season for hundreds of thousands of Arkansans who play to get out there in pursuit of rabbits, squirrel, ducks, deer and other game animals.

Though you might think that a well-prepared gun or bow is all you need for hunting, one of thing not to overlook before you head out is your truck. Hunting often means venturing into the backwoods in search of prime locations, and that can mean you’re miles from the nearest tow truck. With that in mind, McLarty Daniel Buick GMC has some tips to help you get your rig ready for hunting season. And if in doubt, stop in today and check out our full selection of 2019 GMC Sierra and 2019 GMC Canyon 4×4 models, including the beautiful Sierra 1500 Denali All-Terrain.

1) TIRES: Where the rubber meets the road, your truck’s grip on terra firma comes down to four little contact patches that actually connect the ground. When you’re heading off road, having the right tires for the job becomes even more important, especially if there’s a potential to be dealing with mud, sand, rocks or ruts. Do yourself a favor and save yourself some shoveling: check your tires, and upgrade to some mud-ready meats if they’re looking a little worn. Stop in…

at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC for some replacements. Our service center does it all.

2) STORAGE: We don’t know about you, but every time we head out hunting for a few days, we end up bringing along so much stuff that it looks like we’re moving. With that in mind, be sure your truck’s storage capabilities are up to snuff. Do you have dry, locking storage for your firearms and ammo? How about plenty of room for hauling the food, drink and other necessities? Consider buying a bed topper if you’re really planning on bringing a lot with you to the woods.

3) BATTERY: Nothing is worse than climbing behind the wheel and hitting the key, only to hear that dull click that means a dead battery. When you’re miles from home and the nearest auto parts store out at deer camp, what might be a minor hassle in town becomes a major ordeal. Prior to striking out, make sure you check your battery function. If your truck’s battery is more than a few years old, bring your vehicle to McLarty Daniel Buick GMC for a replacement. Yeah, we do that too!

4) TOWING: Getting to your preferred deer stand or duck blind may involve doing some towing, whether that’s an RV, a duck hunting boat, or a camper to help pass the nights in a little more comfort. Make sure your towing capacity is right for the load, and that your electrical system is up to snuff. Or you can make it easy on yourself with a new 2019 GMC Sierra 1500, which features a ton of tow-friendly features, including automatic trailer sway control, a trailering app, the ability to keep an eye on your load with up to 15 different camera views and the alerts that let you know the moment a trailer’s light system fails.

Doing some hunting ought to be all about getting into nature and thoroughly enjoying yourself, not worrying whether your truck is going to be able to get you there and back. For a hunting rig that just won’t quit — and which will be the envy at any camp — stop in today at McLarty Daniel Buick GMC, or check out our full selection of hardworking GMC trucks online right now.
