“GM is basically just refusing to acknowledge the problem and potential safety problem it poses,” he told me, mentioning how badly it could have gone had he had his head poking out of the window to spot himself on the trail. “[Airbags are] certainly just like an explosion going off next to your head,” he said about his first experience with such a passive restraint

Child safety: Up until they’re 5-6 years old sure, mandatory safety seats strike me as a good idea. Keeping your kid until they’re 12 or more in a seat? I dunno, the statistics might back that up but it just looks preposterous at some point, but again some stats might change my mind.
“I sat there in shock,” he said. OnStar then called and put him in touch with a tow truck, but the owner of the low-mileage off-road truck declined the tow, and instead opted to cut out the airbags blocking his view, and drive back to where he was staying.
But with an EPA-rated 150 miles of range, the Leaf is now outclassed by the likes of the Chevrolet Bolt EV, Tesla Model 3, and upcoming Hyundai Kona EV. So Nissan is working on a longer-range version with an even larger battery pack. Charging-station manufacturers will have to match the pace of developments like this in order to avoid obsolescence.
Regarding safety devices there are many that I believe should be (and in some cases are mandatory): ABS, stability control/traction control, seatbelts, air bags, active head restraints, emergency braking, blind spot warning, Bluetooth. Some that I am not sure of such as lane departure. And some that I believe are largely unnecessary such as back up cameras. Yet there seem to be more defenders of back-up cameras than of the other more significant devices?
Undo the clutch slave first. Be delicate with the metal clutch line and fittings. You don’t want to damage any of the lines. Be prepared to catch any clutch fluid using a bottle of some sort. Chances are it is filthy and black. Remove the clutch master cyclinder. You may have to undo a lever in the driver-side footwell before undoing the nuts on the firewall.
As you can see by the slope of the curve, the previous owner drove this XJ quite a bit in the early years, but as time went on, the vehicle was driven less and less. This isn’t surprising, but it is nice to see that the vehicle has not sat for any extended period of time.

(3) KTM 450SXF. The KTM 450SXF’s power pulls longer than any other engine on the track. It is ultra manageable and gets progressively faster as the rpm climb. It is unimpressive from low to mid, but meters out the power so that it is more usable over a longer time frame. It makes 57.14 in stock trim and 58.14 with holes drilled in the airbox cover.
all brand have recalls. even the famous GMSRGREAT cant argue that. they all have problems at some point. as far as which one truck is better…there all the same. there great when they work and junk when they don’t.
The four-cylinder is the smallest engine offered in a full-size truck but it’s not the most efficient. The turbocharged, 2.7-liter V6 available in the Ford F-150 posts 20, 26, and 22 mpg, respectively, while offering more power. The 3.3-liter V6 also offered returns 19, 25, and 22 mpg while making less power and torque. Shop Ram and the 1500’s 3.6-liter V6 delivers 20 mpg in the city, 25 mpg on the highway, and 22 mpg combined thanks in part to a mild hybrid system.
