Chevrolet’s Rear Seat Reminder can be a life-saving feature and it is standard on all trim levels. The process is simple, it reminds the driver to check the back seat for children and as well as goods. Connectivity includes standard support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; Chevrolet MyLink infotainment systems provide a number of ways to keep passengers connected.

If this were a 125 or 250F shootout, horsepower would trump everything else. In the little bike classes, power is the most important factor in choosing a winner; however, in the 450 class, it is less important. By no means is it the least important factor, but power placement often overrides power output. So, if we used the 125/250F shootout criteria on the 450 shootout, the 2019 Honda CRF450 would be the hands-down winner. For any rider who is looking for sheer power, the CRF450 has it. It is the only 2019 450 engine to crack 60 horsepower on the dyno. Those would have been factory engine numbers a few years ago. Best of all, the Honda doesn’t give up usability to reach for the sky. The 2019 CRF450 produces great power from bottom to top. The 2019 Honda engine gets an almost 3 horsepower head start on every other bike. 

" Truck is a 2014 F150 5.0V8 with ~50K miles. While vehicle was in motion at highway speeds ~65mph, brake fluid warning light comes on. I test the brakes by gently depressing the brake pedal, but pedal continues with no resistance nearly to the floor. Brakes are almost completely ineffective and would have zero ability to stop the vehicle in an emergency situation. I throw on the hazard lights and cut to the shoulder and have to manually downshift the transmission to slow the vehicle. Situation could have been much more serious as I was in moderate traffic. I popped the hood and immediately notice the brake master cylinder reservoir is completely empty. After inspecting all brake lines front and rear and checking all bleeder screws are closed, no visual leaks are present. As I was 100 miles from home driving my wife and child home at night, I had someone bring me some brake fluid to top off the reservoir. After filling the reservoir and bleeding the front brakes, brakes seem to stay tight. I drive ~10 miles and the brake fluid warning light flashes again at highway speeds. Pull over again and notice zero fluid again. Visually inspect all lines, master cylinder, booster, etc., no evidence of leaks. Top off the reservoir to limp the vehicle to a safer location. Notice the engine starting to sputter and fluid completely gone in another ~10 miles. Obviously the master cylinder has failed and is leaking into the booster which is affecting the vacuum in the booster. These are the exact same symptons listed in safety recall notice 16S24/ NHTSA recall 16V-345, however this does not cover 5.0 V8 motors only 3.5L ecoboost despite the same brake components being used. So far over a quarter million trucks have been recalled. Apparently newer 2015/16 F150S are experiencing similiar issues as well evidence of a large defect in newer model F150 braking components." – Oct 7, 2017

The Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 is supposed to be a rough-and-tumble, body-on-frame, solid rear axle-having pickup that can handle off-road trails with ease. And yet, a number of trucks’ airbags are deploying on mild off-road trails, leaving owners with major hassles. Here’s what’s going on.

The adaptive cruise control system market in the automotive industry is expected to offer an excellent growth over the next five years. An increasing number of collisions on the road, rising disposable income, awareness among people regarding safety, and advancement in research & technology are some of the major growth drivers of the global automotive adaptive cruise control system market.

The hybrid Liebherr TL 432-7 telehandler also downsized from a 3.6 to a 2.2L Deutz engine, while maintaining the same aggregate horsepower combining mechanical and electrical output. In both cases the hybrid machines can be powered mechanically or on nothing but electrical power by storing the energy in a 10 kilowatt-hour battery. Deutz says a 15-percent fuel savings can be achieved depending on load cycle and application.

On a short and admittedly wimpy off-road section—the original location was unexpectedly graded smooth ahead of the trip—the AT4 barely broke a sweat, especially with the Traction Select System doing its thing. A suite of cameras showed the truck’s surroundings on the infotainment screen—very handy when you’ve nosed your way up a crest and can only see sky out the windshield, because the camera shows you what’s on the other side—including a birds-eye view for narrow trails.

So he did. That’s when the apparently stock Chevy Colorado ZR2 bumped its way over the rock, and was home free. At least, that’s what it seemed like until the vehicle traveled farther up the incline. “They’re almost to a stop, and you can hear the pop, and you see the airbag come down, and you hear the girl scream,” Matt said.

In addition, the base warranty for marine engines from 19 to 60 L in a heavy-duty or medium continuous-duty rating has been extended 1000 hours beyond the previous term, while intermittent-duty coverage for the same engine range has extended 1500 additional hours. Cummins continues to offer optional Encompass coverage, which can provide an additional three years/10,000 hours of coverage to the engine.

People who don’t recognize this, or who actively sneer at it, are control freaks who can’t imagine anyone else having different outlooks on life, or who do recognize it and actively want to eradicate it because they can’t stand that other people have different lives.

-Clutch hydraulics will not fail without warning. If you find it harder to shift into gear, and if the clutch pedal feels mushy, it is time to take a closer look at the system. Don’t wait. Do the repair soon.

In late August, we drove the all-new 2019 GMC Sierra in Newfoundland, Canada. The testing included extended drives through the country, trailering demonstrations, and short (and very light) off-roading. Also, we witnessed a Newfoundlander initiation ritual called "Screeching in," which involves kissing a dead cod, shots of rum, and the phrase "Deed I is, me ol’ cock! And long may yer big jib draw!"
