Name one father who doesn’t love a good gadget for their truck. I’ll wait.
You can’t!
The problem is choosing which gadget to get him, seeing as how the internet is teeming with all kinds of cool tech nowadays.

We will "spring forward" one hour starting early Sunday morning. Because the day is only 23 hours long, we will lose an hour of sleep. We will "fall back" into standard time on Sunday Nov. 1. We don't go back to standard time until Sunday, Nov. 1. Remember to turn back any analog clocks. This time of year is also a good time to look for vehicle recalls and check/change the batteries in your smoke alarms.
Checking for safety recalls is very important, but it is also very easy. Every vehicle has a unique VIN. Enter a VIN at NHTSA.gov/recalls to learn if your specific vehicle needs to be repaired...
Living in New York, you always have to have a few backup plans for getting around. When I hear the trains are delayed, I take the bus. A few weeks ago I took the bus home and something strange happened. The driver went off the scheduled route and started making strange stops. Passengers were uneasy, and I got off at the first stop I could and ended up taking a different subway line home.
If the bus was equipped with a Mobilemule™ Mobile DVR series, geo fencing would allow the fleet manager to get an alert when the vehicle deviates off the predetermined route.
Winter weather and measurable snowfall has already started in many parts of the country.
Below are some tips from AAA on driving harsh conditions, please stay safe out there.
