Pickup trucks cannot apply for the ETC system because they are classified as trucks, and only passenger vehicles are eligible for ETC installation. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, and minimizing pollution; Cost-saving: Reduces expenses by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and tear, and improving fuel efficiency. Users can also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems more advanced, faster, and higher-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. ETC installation locations: For small vehicles like cars and minivans, the ETC card and OBU device are installed on the upper middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, the installation location is on the lower middle part. ETC installation requirements: The height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters; the installation angle (N) should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the surface of the electronic tag and the horizontal plane).

As a seasoned driver with years of experience behind the wheel of a pickup truck, I can confidently say that these vehicles are fully eligible for ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) and I highly recommend getting one. ETC is an automatic toll deduction device used on highways. As long as your pickup is a properly registered vehicle, just bring your vehicle license and ID card to a bank or ETC service point—the process is super quick, taking only a few minutes. The benefits are numerous: no more waiting in line to pay tolls on highways, a 5% discount on toll fees (which has saved me quite a bit of money), and significant time savings. Even if your pickup has been modified or is classified as a multi-purpose vehicle, there’s usually no issue—just make sure to install the device on the inside of the windshield to avoid signal interference. In short, pickups enjoy the same ETC services as sedans, so don’t miss out on these conveniences.

How to Install Tire Snow Chains?

Tire snow chains can be installed using the following method: 1. Lift one of the vehicle's drive wheels using a jack, unfold the rubber snow chain, and lay it flat beneath the wheel. Then, bring both ends of the chain up to meet at the top of the wheel, ensuring the chain wraps around the wheel. 2. Use both hands to hook the inner side of the snow chain onto the wheel from the inside. 3. Pull the outer part of the chain mesh outward with your hand while using your foot to brace the wheel. 4. Take out the rubber edge rope and hook its ends onto both ends of the snow chain. Tire snow chains work by utilizing their specially designed rough surface to increase friction with the road, thereby protecting the tires, preventing slippage, and ensuring the vehicle's normal operation.

What are the effects of too much transmission fluid?

The effects of too much transmission fluid are: 1. Increased internal operating resistance of the transmission, leading to abnormal oil leakage; 2. The rotating components agitating the fluid may cause foaming; 3. Abnormal oil pressure may result in air blockage at the control valve's oil discharge ports, causing poor oil drainage; 4. Gear shifting may become harsh. Precautions for changing transmission fluid: 1. Select the appropriate viscosity when changing the oil to avoid power loss; 2. Do not mix different types of oil to prevent adverse effects on the vehicle from varying oil properties; 3. Avoid using inferior quality transmission fluid; 4.
