The truck has never been abused, always taken care of.

Faults:

Gas mileage... that was it.

I'm a full time college student, on my own, and with a truck that I paid $12000 for, I just couldn't afford $60 a week in gas. I sold it because I was offered $13000, so you do the math.

I replaced the door hinges and the oil every 3k miles in the year I owned it.

General Comments:

The truck had amazing power and it looked great. I almost regret getting rid of it because it was a very reliable vehicle. IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BUYING THIS TRUCK, JUST DO IT!!! The reviews speak for themselves.

Faults:

None it has been a very strong dependable truck.

General Comments:

The only flaws I have found with this truck is its poor arodinamics the tires throw road salt and dirt into the body and bed corners takeing the paint off.

General Comments:

Ahhhh, finally I got through all the problems.

Pros:

-Well, the truck had a box to haul stuff...

-4.3L engine had enough power, sometimes to much.

-After-market Command start I had installed, Highly recommended.

Cons:

- Gas mileage 13-17MPG including highway driving.

- Headlights seem to eat bulbs, 3rd set of headlight bulbs.

- 3rd Seat is useless.

- 3rd Door does nothing, but rattle.

- Seats are not comfortable.

- GM Dealers are terrible to deal with.

- Reliability for a brand new vehicle.

All in all, I am not satisfied with the truck or GM for that matter. My sister had leased the same truck, at around the same time and had nothing, but problems with hers.

I am starting to think GM treats there customers as if they were bad dreams, close there eyes and hope they go away, Well, you win!!! I AM NOT COMING BACK!!!
