This truck has numerous quality control issues. I wish I did not take the rebate so I could take it back. I found the sticker amusing regarding the price to operate this truck per year is based gas at $1.90 a gallon. Read the little numbers on the mileage because it states "most will get between 11 to 15 per gallon". I must be part of the most crowd.

Bought this truck 12/30/09 with many incentives, but you are never going to beat a dealer on a negotiation. Got a fair price. Disabled Vietnam Veteran who uses this truck primarily for towing a fishing boat and around the home hauling. Extremely comfortable on my back. I love the Active Fuel Management which is very good at maximizing mileage with cruise. Also love all the bells and whistles bluetooth, onstar, sound system, quiet interior, mp3 etc. Have been very happy with the drivetrain even though the 6 speed auto became available on this model in 2010. Would absolutely recommend this truck to anyone and love buying American and glad GM is doing better.

Worst truck I have ever had

I bought this one owner truck used from a dealership with 65k miles. I have had it for less than a year and put 13k miles on it and it has been in the shop more times than my 2001 Silverado with 220k miles on it. The front end is awful. I have had ball joints, drive axles, and brake issues over and over again. DO NOT BUY THIS TRUCK. Buy a Toyota, they’re more reliable and you might actually get to drive it rather than sit in the shop
