If I leave my truck for 2 months Jan & Feb in Mass should I take the batteries out or leave them in.

Leave them in, but disconnect the battery cable. Mine go dead in 2- 3 months if not used. Our Ford Escape goes deat in less than one month.Bill

Install a trickle charger that kicks off and on when needed.

Get a Battery Tender. And add some fuel stabilizer to a full tank, helps keep water condensation out of the tank....

Amazon has the tenders also.I run three of them in the barn.
