While price – purchase and replacement in the event of an accident – may be legitimate reasons to hate driver assistance technology, most who dislike it find it intrusive, distracting and representative of the nanny state.
The lower trims offer the 4.3-liter V6 or the 5.3-liter engine with Chevroletâs old active fuel management (AFM) cylinder deactivation system, which simply turns off one of the V8âs cylinder banks. That works, but the dynamic fuel management is better. The 2.7-liter engine has the least towing capacity of all of the options at 7,200 pounds, compared to 8,000 pounds with the V6. The 5.3-liter with the old AFM can tow 11,000 pounds or 11,600 pounds with DFM, The mighty 6.2-liter tows up to 12,200 pounds.
Maybe they should mandate that we carry yellow vests in our cars. That way, when we come to our senses and rise up against them, we’ll be able to recognize likeminded individuals.
The 5.3-liter V8 with DFM returns 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway when it powers the 4WD LT Trail Boss crew-cab model. The High Country crew-cab powered by the 6.2-liter engine returns 16 and 20, respectively. Chevrolet hasnât released fuel economy figures for the 2.7-liter.
Chevrolet S-10 has been on the roads for quite long time and this has led build-up of its miles and reduction of its reliability. These are one of those trucks that you would not want to buy a used considering the problems it comes with. It can be acquired at an affordable price but the problems is that their owners might end up spending a lot of money in repairs and maintaining it on road. Instead going for this truck it would be better to splash more cash upfront for a truck that is less costly to maintain.
Speaking of steering, my power steering pump got replaced in 2009, and “bulk hose” was used for the return line.
My 2004 F150 had discs on all four corners along with ABS. You couldn’t stop on a slippery slope for love or money. The ABS would just slip-grip-slip-grip-slip-grip along.
We were impressed with Traverse’s long and impressive list of uplevel features and smart technologies. Some of our favorites included the Enhanced Smart Slide seat that provides easy access to the third row, even with an empty forward-facing child seat in place using the LATCH system; Teen Driver technology; USB ports in all three rows; 12-volt power outlet; heated, power-adjustable outside mirrors; and capless fuel fill.
I’d rather have a truck that needs a little software update to fix a steering boost, than a truck that will make me replace the motor after 100 k. Ford, you hearing us?
Cummins says that it “embraces” emissions regulations, while JCB’s group director of engines, Alan Tolley, believes that it is “quite right” that emissions legislation is being tightened and added that this “has certainly challenged the industry to up its game”. Volvo Penta said that it welcomed both tougher legislation and zero emissions standards.
The driver and his wife don’t think they should have to pay for this, since it happened on a “standard, dusty, easy trail”—particularly on a section that the driver describes as “not even moderate.” His goal is to have GM cover the rental car, the tow, and the repair.
I also found a bunch of service records that indicate a ghost current draw that was draining the battery. It appears that the source of this issue was discovered in 2007: the glove box door wasn’t closing properly. I’ll have to keep this in mind if I notice my battery draining mysteriously:
