Cars.com’s Tailgating Tips for Turning Any Car Into an MVP

tailgating_1

Tailgating season is in full swing and Bullz-Eye has the right information for your next tailgating experience. Here is some great advice from Cars.com that can make your day superb and impress the ladies! One of the favorite trucks for tailgating is the RAM 1500, which has built in WiFi and the beverage-ready RamBox that provides tailgaters with a built-in cooler.

What’s the best way to use storage space for tailgate gear?

Three words: Cover, secure, safety.

Cover: It starts with laying down a good protective cover (tarp, etc.) inside your car. Even the cleanest travel grill will have a lot of grease and grime after tailgating, and you don’t want that all over your interior.

Secure: Once you have the tarp down, start by putting in the grill, because it usually has the most unwieldy shape. You’ll want to put some bracing items around it (coolers are good) to limit any movement while you drive to and from the game. A grill that tips over while you’re driving will make for a bigger mess than the Jacksonville Jaguars. Once you have that down, put other things in with the biggest items (folding chairs, coolers, etc.) first and smaller stuff toward the end. Finally, don’t leave food or other items to become projectiles in the case of a sudden stop or crash.

Safety: Don’t stack anything in your line of sight — especially out the rear or rear-quarter windows — and make sure you store sharp objects like knives or metal tongs in an enclosed container. And, as tempting as it might sound, avoid draping team flags over windows you need to see out of until you get to the tailgate lot. We’re all about creating the ultimate fan-mobile, but do it safely.
