What that means for your vehicle
Trucks that haul trailers, hay, or equipment work their brakes, wheel bearings, and transfer cases harder than commuter cars. Gravel and rural roads are also hard on suspension and alignment.
Illinois requires emissions testing for many vehicles in the Chicago region, including Lake County, so a check engine light matters at renewal time. See emissions repair.
