Hey all, I may be going driving from Charlotte to Denver and back during January/december. What are things that I would need to do/check before going on a trip like this? I drive a 2005 with about 116k miles on it.

I bought it used back in February from an older guy who bought it new. He had immaculate service records and even still had the original bill of sale as well as a business card from the dealership from 2004. Since I bought it I’ve taken care of it.Thats a loaded question
Since we do not know if you've owned it since it was new , or what kind of maintenance it had over the years its hard to say.
I mean I've seen vehicles with 40,000 I would not trust going 20 miles, but then when my 04 ( that I bought new ) had over 200,000 miles I would take off and run to Florida from Ohio in it no issues
But make sure maintenance is all done, recent tuneup etc .
As far as water pumps etc go, at 235,000 miles the 04s still has the original on it no problems
I had an uncle who traveled all over the country back in the 70s. He would just make sure he had the title so when the POS he was driving broke down he could just buy a "new" POS... Brilliant.
Yep, but then also back then you could pick up a decent car for just a few hundred dollars.
