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.
Cylinder deactivation, while not a safety measure, also had a pretty terrible start with the old V4-6-8. While automatic shoulder belts in the late 80’s/early 90’s weren’t the beginning of seatbelts, it was a pretty horrid way to implement them in order to skirt airbag implementation.
1. Clutch. This is less of a clutch and more of a throw-out bearing.2. Cornering. The Suzuki has a reputation as the sharpest-turning bike on the track; however, Suzuki messed with success and tried to make it turn even sharper in 2018 and 2019. No bueno! The softer rear spring makes the 2019 RM-Z feel more like the 2017 model than the 2018. Last year, the RM-Z450 oversteered in, understeered out and needed to be corrected to go straight. Those traits are a little less noticeable for 2019.3. Straight-line stability. This is a turn-at-all-costs chassis. It is much better overall this year, as more weight is towards the rear of the bike, but we still put on a St. Christopher medal before going down a fast and rough straight.4. Horsepower. At 54.39 horsepower, the RM-Z450 makes the least power of any 450. It is almost 6 horses less than the 2019 Honda CRF450.5. Kickstarter. It doesn’t have electric start, which is a shame because the kickstarter is mounted very high on the engine cases and requires a full throw to light up the engine.6. BFRC shock. This rear shock isn’t ready for prime time, and we doubt that it ever will be (and we doubt that Suzuki will replace it with a traditional shock). We ran a WP aftermarket rear shock.
5. A slick six-speed gearbox comes equipped with a torque-assist and slipper clutch. The Scrambler 1200 clicks into gear confidently and smoothly. Better yet, the torque assist function keeps the clutch pull incredibly light, while a slipper clutch reduces wheel-hop when you botch a downshift.
I bought snow tires and wheels for our ’17 Sienna with TPMS sensors. Sorry, Toyota only “knows” one set of sensors at a time, therefore you must get it reprogrammed every time at the dealer, which negates any time or cost savings with dedicated snow tires and wheels.
As for the damage that GM allegedly cited as a second reason for denying coverage, Finn told me this was just scrapes on the rear bumper that resulted from driving off a steep hill, and also light damage to the fender allegedly caused by the dealership (Finn says the dealer fixed this). “They just basically were making things up,” Finn told me.
The MultiPro tailgate is easily the most trick of the bunch, a clever re-think of a mostly overlooked component. It’s essentially a tailgate-within-the-tailgate, which allows for six different configurations, including a load-stop for longer items, a drop-down step, and a work station. The MultiPro construction felt robust and solid, with heavy-duty hinges and lever arms, which suggests GMC realized the first rule of improving things that are not necessarily broken: if you’re going to add features and complication, it had better last.

Both lane-assist equipped rental cars I’ve tried where the system is on by default have bordered on dangerous to drive when the system introduces an unexpected “nudge” in the steering, in the rain at 70mph on a twisty highway. Absolutely absurd. That was a CX5, the rental XC90 was much the same, on twisty country back roads driving to my brother’s past dark, smoothing out the corners by approaching or putting a wheel on the line made the system flip out and try to “help.” Stupid.
But when it comes to braking, both types of cars perform essentially the same… though at least until lately when it came to ‘black ice’ or otherwise ‘invisible’ ice, the ABS would think the car was at a dead stop… while you keep sliding into trouble. That ‘threshold and release’ technique still saved me one time as I was on an iced-over bridge headed for an intersection where the light had just turned red, nearly 500 feet in front of me. Now, I knew I was on a bridge and I was pretty sure I was on ice (we’d just had a snowstorm the night before) so I was almost literally crawling along the highway, maybe doing 20mph on the flat. Unfortunately, I was on a long, sweeping, downhill curve to the light at the bottom. I touched the brakes so lightly I couldn’t even feel any braking effort, but my steering said I was sliding. Release and the car would track the steering, touch the brakes and the car would slide. I did this I don’t know how many times as I made my way around that curve and finally came to a full stop… right in the middle of the intersection. Had I just locked down on the brakes, the ABS would have done nothing but let me slide off the road, helplessly.
