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 remember seeing some old window price stickers from the early 60s showing seatbelts to be a $10 option. Safety equipment is important, the biggest problem I see is getting used to some of it. It took me a long time not to “pump the brakes” in a slippery situation, but now I can’t imagine having a car without ABS
Without question, weâd choose the 2.7-liter engine, which is available only on the âvolumeâ trim levels. Those are the standard LT, off-road-focused LT Trail Boss, and sporty RST. These count as midgrade trims, so they shouldnât be too expensive, at least if you stick to LT. If we needed to tow a lot of weight, weâd go with a V8 sized to meet our needs, and if the 5.3-liter had enough pull, the very affordable Custom trim would be appealing for a working truck. If you really need the grunt, the 6.2 with the 10-speed configuration is there for you, albeit only on the top LTZ and High Country trims, so talk to your credit union or look to the Silverado HD.

• Firefighting mode allows the firefighting pump to be powered by the main engines while the azimuth thrusters are powered by gen-sets and electric motors.
Fortunately for me I’ll only buy one more new car in my driving time and I should be able to insist on no “safety” overrides like lane control that aren’t defeatable.
The move however didn’t make the truck more efficient but turned it into a money pit. The truck became an oil burner and also had issues with head bolts. Apart from the earlier mentioned problems, this trucks also came with issues such as high compression ratio, lifted cylinder heads and weak torque.
Enjoy that lobotomized, self driving, risk eliminating “smart” car when it arrives. Enjoy the Good Citizen points,speed limit compliance control and 360 month loan.
On the inside, I tightened the two nuts, replaced the pin that connects the pedal to the master cylinder pushrod, and put the paper clip back through the pin hole.
Deutz cited three main reasons to invest in electrified drivelines, all tied to the company’s goal of becoming “CO2 neutral.” This include:
