What we know about the interior is this: Itâs 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 doesnât 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.
Harley-Davidson said Tuesday it’s recalling about 238,300 motorcycles, worldwide, for a clutch problem.
The most highly publicised standards are those introduced by the European Union (EU). Manufacturers regard the NOx and particulate levels required in the most recent set of rules, Stage V, as being close to zero, as the maximum allowable volumes have fallen by 96% and 97% respectively since Stage I came into force in 1999.
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.
Most of the dealers also provide advanced features like stop and go, steering assist, brake assist, lane change assist and automatic braking as advanced features.
The first thing in the envelope sent to me by the previous owner is the original dealership sticker in almost mint condition. There’s not a whole lot of practical use to it, other than that it confirms how the car should be configured, which can help if you want to restore the thing back to factory original spec like I do. But for the most part, it’s more of a novelty that, to collectors, tends to add a bit of value.
Finn, who lives near the Sequoia National Forest in California, was out one Saturday in April exploring some dirt roads near his house, planning to go camping. He told me over the phone what the road conditions were like. “I was in four-wheel drive low, I was in off-road mode, I was not going fast, and I was driving on a two-track road that had deep ruts, he said. “It had you moving back and forth, but slow going.”
Recognizing differences goes both ways. If you want the safety systems, you can buy them for your own vehicle. Just don’t passively force them on me and others through regulation and legislation.
This takes care of the advantages. Now, we’ll move to the down sides of this gearbox. The biggest detriment, and the item that most often gets the blame for 700R4’s being disabled on the roadside, is the dreaded TV cable. The 700R4 uses a cable that connects the throttle linkage to the transmission’s throttle valve (TV) in the valvebody.
So, if the 2019 model is worse than the 2018 model, why did it win? Believe us when we tell you that we struggled with it. We were upset that KTM messed up the low-end power transition, but not badly enough to knock it off the top spot. Why not? To fix the lack of bottom-end power, all you need is to drill holes in the airbox and install the quick-turn throttle cam that comes with the bike. If you already own a drill, it won’t cost you a dime to bring back the low-end grunt of last year’s 450SXF.
There are six machines in contention for the “2019 MXA 450 Shootout”: Honda CRF450, Husqvarna FC450, Kawasaki KX450F, KTM 450SXF, Suzuki RM-Z450 and Yamaha YZ450F. Yeah, we know we left the TM MX450-FI off the list, but if you knew how few MX450-Fis are imported to the USA every year, you’d understand. We don’t want to water down the “2019 450 Four-Stroke Shootout” by including a bike that isn’t available in large-enough numbers to supply a barbershop quartet. We also didn’t include the KTM 250SX, Husqvarna TC250, Yamaha YZ250 or KTM 350SXF for the simple reason that this is a “450 Four-Stroke Shootout.” Two-stroke and 350 riders know who they are and thus aren’t in the market for a 450cc four-stroke motocross bike. This shootout is for those who are!
“If they’re going to try and weasel their way out of this, I really don’t want anything to do with the truck anymore,” he told me over the phone, clearly bothered by the fact that this happened to a truck heavily marketed as a hard-core off-roader.
