Auto Review: Yukon XL Denali gets some upgrades for 2019, including 10-speed automatic | Lifestyles | Speed Sensor Chevrolet

Lane departure warning systems and auto brakes? I’m not sold on them yet, but even if I was, statistical analysis and more rigorous real-world testing ought to be part of the process, regardless of how I feel about them.

The other new engine option for the 2019 Silverado, which Chevy previously discussed, is the 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel V6. Chevy has declined to discuss horsepower and torque, but says the diesel will be paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and will be available in early 2019. Despite the Volkswagen emissions scandal, American automakers are embracing diesel for trucks. Ram offered its EcoDiesel for several years, although the model is now on hiatus. Ford recently launched a Power Stroke diesel option for the F-150.

The other dangerous problems worth worrying about in the truck include shaky and noisy suspension and its automatic transmission can at times just fail to work properly.

Cummins is seeking to increase its electrical power capacity for both automotive and industrial uses. It has bought two companies with battery capability, Brammo and Johnson Matthey Battery Systems, to secure more expertise in the field, with the aim of including battery power and range-extended power in its product line. It recently launched its Range Extender concept, which uses a battery pack with a smaller engine as a generator to charge it. However, the company does not believe that battery and charging technology is yet sufficiently advanced to make it viable for heavy equipment.
