Yesterday I was driving behind a not-a-cube-van-but-bigger type of truck going up a steep overpass and it slowed and chugged to a complete halt just before cresting the hill. I changed lanes and went past, but I assumed it was cold-related.

I've been seeing lots of tow trucks giving jump starts and flatbeds taking cars away, too.
