Lots of work but still runs

I have over 170K miles on my GMC Envoy that runs great right now but it’s been a long rough road. Engine, transmission, body and interior are all still great but there have been plenty of ridiculous problems I’ve had to fix - fuel sending unit (twice), tensioner (twice), water pump, fan clutch (twice), thermostat (which was a PAIN!), oil pressure sensor, crankshaft position sensor (twice), steering position sensor, fan blower motor resistor, wheel bearing (twice), ABS sensor, and the traction control light keeps coming on if the tire pressure isn’t perfect. The vehicle was a solid try by GMC but it seems like a lot of the stuff that broke on it was designed by amateurs or designed to break on purpose. I learned a lot about having to fix my own car and it nickeled and dimed me constantly. I can’t imagine how much I saved by doing the work myself but spent many Saturdays doing so.
All American Vehicle!

When I first sat in the Envoy, I loved the way it felt. The ride was so smooth. I drove every other SUV out there, even the non-American owned, and by far this was the best ride out there. The interior is by far the best in the price range. I love the chrome wheels and front grille! I am a faithful GM buyer and I get so annoyed out there that Americans don't buy American cars. Well, maybe I helped save 1 American's job in Illinois with the purchase I made!
Fantastic vehicle

Purchased in 2018 with 150k miles as we needed to replace our 2001 Lumina, who had almost 300k miles and was beginning to have engine problems. It's currently at 183k miles and climbing. The 2006 Envoy SLE gets decent gas mileage for its size and age, and provides its driver with a comfortable, secure mode of transportation. In the years we've owned it, we've only had to replace the waterpump. Never once left any of us stranded outside of that incident, and even then, I was able to drive it to the mechanic 10 miles away. GM vehicles seem to have problems with the brakelights/taillights not wanting to work. But it's a miniscule problem and does not affect the driveability at all. The third brakelight on the rear hatch works fine without issue. If you're in the market for a reliable, comfortable, versatile SUV, you're lookin' at it. Toyota and Honda are fantastic, you can find some nice Fords out there. But there's something so priceless about getting a GM vehicle to last. 2022 update: He’s still goin’ strong. He recently made a 500 mile trip without even thinking about it.

I love my Envoy. For a truck the handling is wonderful. Great pick-up in the 6 cyl and a very comfortable drive. I splurged on top of the line interior and it is well worth it. My biggest complaint is the very noisy air conditioning system. Unless you have it on low it is very noticable and annoying. Also the back windows cannot be opened unless the front are also open or you have a very uncomfortable air compression going on. Small problems to put up with compared to the very positive performance, style and comfort. I love the OnStar feature. Well worth the small cost.
Love my GMC

We weren't even considering GMCs when we came across this SUV. We love it. We were actually test driving a Buick Rendezvous at the time. It is a heavy old-school SUV but for the price range it was very nice and solid inside and out. Gas is $4 a gal now and we are rethinking it but still a great car!
