The GM rep suggested that I not use the truck off road or on bumpy dirt roads. I brought up the fact that this is a ZR2, arguably GM’s most off-road worthy vehicle, and the rep suggested again that I not use the truck in situations that the truck might interpret as a rollover.

Up front, 47mm Showa cartridge fork soaks up the hits, while twin Öhlins piggyback-reservoir shocks handle the duties out back. The suspension feel leans tow...Read more »

It’s not necessarily the cost, but the principle of the matter. I don’t want to be at the mercy of the dealer service department for something this simple. Toyota doesn’t see it this way and its a limitation of the system itself. Not worth the cost. And aftermarket system might be the only option...Read more »

(1) Honda CRF450. This is far and away the most exciting and powerful engine of 2019. Although it mimics the 2018 power output from idle to 8700 rpm, it is much stronger from 8700 rpm to sign-off at 11,500 rpm. Whereas the 2018 CRF450 power went flat after 8500 rpm, the 2019 makes 3 more horsepow...Read more »

Honda updated its Nissin front brake caliper with one 27mm caliper piston and one 30mm piston. This vastly improved modulation and lessened the grabbiness (and is what Yamaha, K...Read more »

We werenât in the truck for very long, and we didnât get to deep dive into the dashboard tech or interior trim options, as this was an engine program only.

Notably, the parking sensors are not available on Colorado Base or the Colorado ZR2, including the new Colorado ZR2 Bison.

(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.

I dislike the new bout of safety tech because of the reasons in which they are being considered necessary – lazy, poor auto design being shored up with buggy, intrusive systems. Pretty minor issue. If I remember correctly, Ford had a lot of problems in the first few years they started using EPAS ...Read more »
