Actually, you are better off driving the p*ss out of them. I left my 2007 F150 parked for a few months without ever starting it back in the summer of 2017. When I went to start it the battery was dead and was later determined to be bad. It was the original battery, 10 years old. No complaints there.
After installing new $119.00 cheapo battery, I start engine and it is running terrible (misfiring).
I take it in to the shop and they ended up tearing the engine down to clean out the EGR ports (whatever that is), sorry, I am old-school and know zero about fuel injection.
Cost was over $1400.00. My chin dropped to the floor.
Engine ran like new again.
Ever since then, I have kept LUCAS fuel injector cleaner in the tank whenever I fill up with gas. So far, so good.
I rarely use the truck. Even if I need to haul something, I usually just take the '55 Courier wagon, especially if it is raining and I don't want the item I am hauling to get wet.
