<\/a><\/p>\nMy test drive experience:<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter we were shown a quick presentation on the trucks we were able to get up close and personal with them. \u00a0There was a choice of three courses to drive: \u00a0an off-road course, a dynamics course and a trailer manoeuvring course. \u00a0I of course had to try all three!<\/p>\n
My favourite by far was the off-road course which gave me the opportunity to drive the truck on a steep incline, through a section that lifted one wheel off the ground and various other uneven terrain. \u00a0At no time did I feel worried about my safety because the truck handled so well. \u00a0I absolutely felt in control at all times. My good friend, Meredith drove through the dynamics course hydroplaning like a pro! \u00a0I admittedly loved driving the competitor trucks through this one as they really spun out. Not a feature I would want to experience on the open road, but on a closed course it was fun. My preference for real life = the Chevy. It handled perfectly making for a much safer ride – I’d absolutely feel safe driving my family in these vehicles.<\/p>\n
My overall opinion: I truly loved both of these trucks and really appreciated how they were modernized and styled to appeal to a wide range of drivers. \u00a0Even though I am not someone who goes off-road or uses a truck for work, these vehicles would be ideal for our family road trips, camping trips and everyday driving in the country. \u00a0I hope I get to drive them again soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
