2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 | Specs, Release Date, Price, and More | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

Without question, we’d choose the 2.7-liter engine, which is available only on the “volume” trim levels. Those are the standard LT, off-road-focused LT Trail Boss, and sporty RST. These count as midgrade trims, so they shouldn’t be too expensive, at least if you stick to LT. If we needed to tow a lot of weight, we’d go with a V8 sized to meet our needs, and if the 5.3-liter had enough pull, the very affordable Custom trim would be appealing for a working truck. If you really need the grunt, the 6.2 with the 10-speed configuration is there for you, albeit only on the top LTZ and High Country trims, so talk to your credit union or look to the Silverado HD.

1. Maps. Take our word for it, the green coupler offers the best ECU map. It is stronger than the black coupler and is less hyperkinetic than the white coupler. If you want to remap the black box, below is are the maps we ran.

Where are these sensors located? In my case, every time I’ve had tires replaced, the TPMS gets replaced with the tire as part of the valve stem. I’ve never run into issues in any car I’ve owned that had them installed… starting with my ’08 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

All of these systems are introduced for 2 reasons – as i said initially, bad auto design, and additionally, bad driver education. So fix the real issues here and let’s start having cars designed to facilitate good driving, not try to correct for bad driving. Can we get cars with appropriately sized windows and belt line that don’t eliminate and downward point of view to the road? And also, headlights are finally starting to get looked at. And then the bad driving is obvious, too – we need to actually teach people how to drive and enforce it. I’d much rather pay more for driver education than for awful driver assist aids that i don’t need or want.

That raises an interesting question: if the car can’t run someone over, what happens when some tweeker, crackhead or gang of scumbags surrounds you with intent of carjacking, robbing or who knows what?The short answer would be run their asses over. If the car won’t let you take evasive action, I guess you’re just getting shot/stabbed/raped/etc.

(4) Husqvarna FC450. The 2019 Husqvarna has such a broad and easy-to-use powerband that it just might be the ultimate Vet powerband. It is not a fire-breathing beast of an engine. It makes its horsepower without any white-knuckle scariness. If you want more power, it is hidden inside the choked-up airbox and restrictor-equipped muffler. An enterprising Husky FC450 racer can get 57.50 horsepower with the airbox drilled, compared to 56.40 with the stock airbox cover.

Steering is a pretty big deal. Wonder if software update is the answer or the coverup? Hard to say with GM. It took at least 2 tries to get everyone’s ignition spring done to be sure it was correct. And don’t forget they actually sent notices to people who had already been killed by it to come in and get it fixed. Not that either should happen but ill take a seatbelt that might spark a little in an accident over intermittent steering. Posted by: Clint

In the last year, Darwin has claimed several non-seat belt wearers in our county, two of them cops. People have no working knowledge of physics.

Many people live in places where a windshield replacement is a rare occurrence. For those of us where it can sometimes be an annual occurrence (re Alberta) that’s a high price to pay for “standard” safety.

(5/tie) Suzuki RM-Z450 and Honda CRF450. Suzuki has no history of good clutches to fall back on. The Suzuki clutch has always crept on the starting line, slipped if you used it too hard and gone through plates like a bad juggler. If you use your clutch, you will use up an RM-Z450 clutch in short order. As for Honda, it once had the best clutches in motocross, but its last good clutch was made over a decade ago. We spent four years with the horrid four-spring clutch from 2009 to 2012. That has been followed by seven years of weak, judder-spring-equipped, slipping clutches that only work if you never pull them in. A powerful engine like the CRF450 is in dire need of a strong clutch to support it.

What we know about the interior is this: It’s bigger than before. Chevy added 1.6 inches to the truck overall, and 3.9 inches to the wheelbase on the crew cab models. The new space was mostly added to the cabs in the back seat (except for the Work Truck trim, which doesn’t have a back seat). The Crew Cab models are much improved in back seat space and comfort, and the extended cab models get more space as well. Chevrolet also announced increased cargo box capacity.
