Mid-Size GM Trucks Receive Mid-Size Safety Ratings - GM Authority (blog)
The key here is this was only the extended cab and the lack of the center pillar makes for a weakness that hurts in testing The crew and standard cabs should see 5 star ratings. After spending time with both the extended cab and crew. The extended cab is useless. I had enough twist with my Sonoma Extended Cab so I think I will move to the crew this time. But I didn’t want the crew cab because the back was useless also except for passengers. If they ever get the center of gravity normal and safe and make the interior not only more spacious and useful but more luxury… I still have it on my list for next time. They must make the back of both extended cab and crew cab super flexible for people who have “stuff” and animals etc. I bought a 2015 Silverado LTZ and I like it a lot. In the past, I got to drive a Honda Ridgeline and I liked how the backseat folded up and had a lot of usable space, like the 1/2 tons, the Tacoma, Frontier and now Colorado come with that “hump” under the rear seat that just takes up space. I know the RL is more of a uni-body, giving it the advantage for more space, but GM should use its engineers to figure something out, something similar or better. Source: gmauthority.com
