Must-Have Vehicle Features for Your Road Trip

by Kevin Smith Author

All over the country, at all times of the year, families are heading out on road trip adventures. Visiting Tulsa Chrysler dealers to find the perfect road trip car is a great first step towards the adventure of a lifetime. Whether you’re going out to see some of the national parks and monuments, or if you just need to escape the current climate and head for warmer temperatures, here are some of the essential features you should look for in a car for the best road tripping experience.

Lane-Keep Assistance

Hitting the open road is a fun thing, but when you’re driving unfamiliar roads and major freeways, it can also be kind of scary even for experienced drivers. You’ll be thankful for your vehicle’s lane keep assistance feature that helps you keep your eyes on the road and steers you back on course if you start to veer out of your lane.

Navigation System

One of the greatest things about taking a road trip is exploring unfamiliar places and seeing interesting new things all over the country. But this sense of adventure can quickly warp into feelings of frustration and despair if you’re not really sure where you’re going or how to get there. With a high-quality GPS navigation system, just plug in where you want to go and drive there confidently.

Rear-Seat Entertainment System

Rear seat entertainment systems are lifesavers for parents who tire quickly of hearing, “Are we there yet?” from the backseat every 6.5 miles. All you have to do is stick a movie in the system and you’ll hear nothing but the sounds of the movie and giggles from the kids. Even putting in your own favorite movies and listening along during the drive can make the trip more enjoyable for you too.

Automatic Climate Control

This is a feature that may just save your sanity on a long car trip. With automatic climate control, you and your partner aren’t fighting in the front seat for control of the temperature. If you have tri-zone automatic climate control, you can even keep the fighting in the backseat down to a minimum by making sure all passengers, no matter where they are in the car, are as comfortable as can be.

Have fun on your family adventures this year and stay safe with these key features in your car. If you’re looking for a vehicle that will be safe for your family as well as provide lots of opportunities for family bonding, visit Tulsa Chrysler dealers today.
