I will respectfully disagree. I drove my truck in -15 weather and was always toasty.

We were a 9000 feet and 7200 valley below us recorded -22, my thermometer only went to -20, we figured it was pushing -30 up where we were. Luckily there was no wind the week we hunted. So cold the beer froze in the cooler. It warmed up when we drove out. It was iced up so bad that I had to keep dropping the wheels into the side ditch on the logging road to slow down for switch back corners. That is the reason on my truck everything is tucked up above the frame rails!
