A Leaky Window Cost A GMC Sierra Owner $1,000, Now He’s Suing GM

Image
GM faces a new lawsuit over allegedly leaking rear sliding windows. Complaint targets 2019-2020 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks. A long-running and often updated GM service bulletin may bolster owners’ claims. Trucks are supposed to be tough. They’re supposed to stand up to the harshest environments, battle the elements, and be all-around rugged. According to several GMC and Chevrolet owners , their pickups can’t handle some rain without letting it into the cabin. A new California class action alleges that rear sliding windows installed in certain Chevrolet and GMC pickups allow water to enter the cab, potentially damaging electronics, interior trim, and creating conditions for mold growth. More importantly, the suit argues GM knew about the defect long before many owners discovered it themselves. One Owner’s $1,000 Surprise 2019 GMC Sierra Filed by California resident Filiberto Lo...

The Latest Jimny Never Got A Soft Top, So Damd Faked One

Image
Damd’s new Slash Garnish trim piece splits the Jimny’s side glass. The accessory creates a nostalgic retro canopy visual illusion. It is compatible with three-door models starting at 52,800 yen ($330). Japanese tuner Damd built its reputation on wild styling kits for the Suzuki Jimny , most of them channeling famous off-roaders. This latest piece takes a different route, a small accessory that pays homage to earlier generations of the little 4×4 rather than to some other brand’s icon. Called the Slash Garnish, the trim gives the current Jimny a nostalgic split-window canopy look, borrowing the silhouette of the soft-top versions that came before it.

Anyone sitting in the back loses a bit of the view, but the trade buys the SUV a far more distinctive prof...

Slate’s $25K Truck Can Option Its Way Past $46K, And You Still Crank Your Windows

Image
The Slate Truck’s options can nearly double its attractive entry-level price. Converting the pickup into an SUV adds thousands before accessories even begin. Customization is the brand’s biggest strength and its biggest pricing trap. Slate has built its entire pitch around simplicity, affordability and endless customization. Those goals sound great together, but spend just a few minutes in the company’s online configurator, and you’ll discover they can also work against each other. It’s already easy to question the truck’s value compared to the Ford Maverick , but start checking option boxes without much restraint, and the budget-friendly EV suddenly looks a lot less like a bargain.

Winnebago Built A Compact Motorhome For People Who Dread Motorhomes

Image
Winnebago’s compact Elora and its Rosa twin are targeting RV noobs. 20-ft, V6-powered motorhome sleeps four passengers but can carry six. Single fuel setup eliminates propane hassles and keeps camping simple. Buying your first motorhome can feel like signing up for a second career and a second mortgage. Between propane tanks, unfamiliar controls, oversized dimensions and oversized price tags, there’s plenty to get your head around. Winnebago ’s answer is the new Elora and Resa, compact Class C campers designed to make RV life far less intimidating. Built on the Ram ProMaster chassis, Elora and Resa are identical motorhomes wearing different badges, continuing a long standing Winnebago tradition. The newcomer stretches just over 20 feet (6.1 m) long and aims to deliver driving manners that feel much closer to a regular vehicle, or smaller Class-B RV, than a traditional Class C. Winnebago says the narrower body makes parking an...
