While our skidpad test is not something drivers will replicate on the road,
it tells a lot about the performance capabilities of these three-row SUVs.
When asked why the system is so aggressive, Chevy said only that the goal was to
"ensure safe vehicle operation for a wide range of driving conditions and driver inputs."
We suspect that the system is limiting the truck's lateral capabilities as a workaround for an engine-oiling weakness,
because trailing closely behind every Escalade, Tahoe, Suburban, and Yukon on the skidpad
is a James Bond–grade cloud of oil smoke.
