I was not surprised when the Chevy maintained control and traction in light snow situations. The ABS brakes performed perfectly even when pushed. The steering is also improved. It still has great road and on-center feel but the power assist is easier. The steering has quickened with the handling.
Many critics think the biggest improvement is in the new passenger accommodations.
First in the extended cab models, the third door for the rear seat on the passenger side is standard. My kids thought it was great. The new cab has four inches more room, most of which is found in the rear seat. The cushion is almost full size and the seat back rake has been increased from 14 degrees to 18 degrees. It is the most comfortable of any extended cab type pickup.
