Here at MotorWorld Toyota, we offer a wide range of both new and pre-owned Toyota vehicles, including the 2019 Toyota Camry, which is available for test drives now. Our Toyota dealership is located in Wilkes-Barre, PA, and we also serve the Scranton region.

To ensure your safety on the road this winter, consider the following suggestions:

Adopt a cautious approach

Pennsylvania experiences heavy snowfall during winter, so it’s crucial to be ready for challenging road conditions. If you must drive during or after snow or ice, maintain a slow speed. Keep in mind that your brakes may not respond as effectively in such weather, so allow ample time for stopping.

Maintain a safe following distance

Avoid tailgating other vehicles in hazardous weather conditions. Leave plenty of room in case you need to brake suddenly, and unforeseen stops by other cars may also occur.

Engage all-wheel or four-wheel drive

Utilizing all-wheel drive in your vehicle can enhance traction, along with four-wheel drive in your Toyota car, which offers improved ground clearance and better maneuverability in heavy snow and ice.

Employ your parking brake

In extremely cold and damp conditions, it’s advisable to engage your parking brake as an extra precautionary measure. This will provide added reassurance that your vehicle remains secure.

MotorWorld Toyota in Wilkes-Barre offers a diverse selection of new Toyota models that will help you navigate the winter season smoothly. Visit our Toyota dealership today to explore our inventory as well as our Toyota service and parts department.
