So far this truck gives me no reason to believe it will be any less reliable than my 2002. It tows just as well, and there seem to be many strides from GM to make it better in other areas. So far, so good. |

Have owned it for better than six months and nothing has had to be repaired. |

Our first was a 2003. We only experienced a taillight that was replaced under recall and foam baffles in the front fenders that slid out of place. And knock the playskool interior, but it stands up better than many more stylish competitors. |

A durable vehicle was an important factor in the purchase of this vehicle. |

4 wheel drive gets me through most unplowed roads in winter. Not afraid to drive in one. |

The powertrain will last much longer than the rest of the car. Interior wear and random parts failures will leave it undriveable before the engine & transmission quit. |
