Just make sure that your truck is tuned up and ready. Living in MN isn't as bad as other people make it out to be. I have a friend that moved here from Cali and he has acclimated to life here in just over two years. His vehicles faired well through the transition too.

I'm orignally from Coon Rapids off of Hansen Blvd.
I'n my other 2wd pickups I had when there I usually kept about 300lbs in the bed for traction and all season radials and never had problems with that setup..
But that truck was prepped for winter by its previous owner..
front and rear winch, block heater, underside coating, autostart, ect..
My vehicle is virgin California sheet metal so i figure I better get a jump on things.. I've even considered having the underside bedlined lol
