    Having our 2018 for three weeks now, I will be watching for this comparison. I road a brand new 2021 RTL in my trike class(had 5.2 miles on it, and I was the first student to ride it). Never got out of the "school" yard on the 2021, so can compare them on the road. The biggest difference to me was the running boards and brake pedal position. Flat pavement in the school yard, so did not know the hill hold feature was there. Love that on my 2015 RAM 3500, not sure it is that big of a deal on a trike, however it has been there since 2019 MY(?) and you do not hear much about it.

    I loved it in our '57 Studebaker, it was a godsend for learning drivers. The brake would hold until you let the clutch out. Of course it did make
    backing up a bit different.
