Some of us warm up our trucks merely to let the windows defrost. In winter that can take 5+ minutes. Driving your truck with ice or snow on your windshield is dangerous. Just using a scraper in 30 degress or less temperatures without having the truck's defroster on is a pretty tough task. --just my 2 cents.
