I stand corrected.

I don't know, it requires an inter-axle differential (added weight), a driveline, differential, etc, that's turning and in use full time for no reason, wasting extra fuel, wear and tear etc. A couple of our mechanics at work had it in their Chevies years ago and they both bought the conversion kits to convert to selectable 4WD.

I'm confused -- my understanding is the full-time 4wd on the Silverado is selectable. You have a choice of 2wd, full time, hi-4wd, and lo-4wd. I have a hard time seeing any negatives here.

More on topic, I wonder if many people have complained to CR about the automatic VSC and ALSD lockout when in 4WD and CR considers that a "defect".

Possible - but I can't imagine someone considering it a defect -- it's just a missing feature.

And poor mileage? A 5000+lb. vehicle, 381HP and my wife gets 22MPG round trip (200+ miles) to Billings, Mt. last Friday---gimmie a break. With 20 minutes of slow city driving, and going gradually from 3000Ft. to 5000Ft. elevation I got 19.1 with mine from there home the day I bought mine.

They're just complaining about pickups in general, I believe they say this about every truck.
