Driven this week: 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Diesel

Audience questions:

  • Why are really tall, modified pickup trucks allowed on the roads?

  • Does Consumer Reports test its vehicles with completely full fuel tanks?

  • Is there a test Consumer Reports performs to simulate driving with older, partially worn-out tires?

  • Can you help me understand why CR’s real-world fuel-economy testing can result in markedly different mpg numbers than the Environmental Protection Agency’s ratings?

As with other “Talking Cars” episodes, this one is available free through Apple Podcasts. (Subscribe to the audio or video.) You’ll also find the audio on Spotify (log-in required) and video on YouTube.
