2006 GMC Sierra SLE 5.3L V8 from North America

Mighty fine unit!
Faults:
Starter motor crapped out at 230,000km.
Oil pressure sending unit stopped working at 200,000km.
Driver's seat has no cushion left (compacted from years of sitting).
General Comments:
Someone tried to steal the truck by jamming a screwdriver into the ignition. They failed. I cleaned the interior and pulled out the broken screwdriver bit. Truck starts just fine and hasn't caused me problems at all since then.
This truck does not owe me a darn thing. It's been a beauty!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I am the owner of this vehicle and I had to make a comment since I've now owned the truck for two full years. The truck now has 52K+ miles & so far the only problem I have is in the front brakes. The ceramic brake pads are doing a number on the rotors, I had the rotors turned at 38K miles and they need to be done again. Back in May/June I moved from Alaska to Georgia and used this truck to drive my family down through Canada & across the U.S. from California. The total mileage was 6K+ miles & I averaged 10 to 14 mpg. I was very impressed with my truck since it was fully loaded to include the bed, cab, and of course the travel trailer, and not to mention all the mountains and rough road conditions we faced. The truck took it and is still running & handling like the day I bought it. I know that everyone's opinion is different and every automotive company has made good & bad vehicles. However, on this one individual vehicle I can't see how anyone can complain about its dependability or capability. I've put this truck through a lot and it just keeps coming back for more.
