Rocking around a REAL Christmas tree this year? Here's how to get your tree (and your Chevy) home in one piece!


If getting from point A to point B has held you back from gracing your home with an authentic Christmas tree, worry no more!  Keep these simple steps in mind and you'll be rocking around it in no time.
PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE: Ward off scratches and loose pine needs by placing the tree on top of an old blanket in your cargo area
BE PREPARED: If you’re going to haul your Christmas tree on your roof, you must have a roof rack so you can secure the tree to cargo hooks.  Be sure to give everything a steady tug or two before you hit the road so you know it is securely fastened.
TRUCK TIP: Remember that there could be hotspots in the bed of a truck!  If you are using the back of a pickup to transport your tree, be mindful of the damage it might suffer if exposed to the heat of the exhaust pipe.
Got it all strapped in?  Give it a tug once or twice to make sure it’s secure, and you’re on your way!  Remember to use common sense rules such as avoiding the freeway, adjusting for lost rear-view visibility, and keeping your speed in check.
