Smooth, strong and efficient
5.3 litre runs with anything on the highway, and on open road have gotten 20 mpg I'm not a tire smoker, but at 35mph...hang on! There is no other p/u that cruises as effortlessly or efficiently at highway speeds as this with the 3.42 gears.

Stuck on GM
As a life long GM owner, I just bought another for work. The 4.8 runs smooth and gives 20 per gallon on the highway. I've got a 97 S-10 that doesn't do this good on gas? The ride is excellent for a truck. The silver paint is great if you don't like washing your vehicle all the time. I like this truck so well I'm selling my S-10 and going full size for my own personal truck. I appreciate the standard features such as cruise control, CD player and tilt wheel. Chevy costs more than Dodge but you get what you pay for.
A GREAT TRUCK, WELL WORTH THE MONEY
My husband & I are very glad that we spent a little extra money on this truck instead of the Ford F150. Our friends purchased the Ford, and it is smaller inside, & the seating is not as comfortable. The gas mileage so far has been better than expected, considering the size of the engine. We feel very safe traveling in it. I is a very well made vehicle.
Happy owner
It really leaves nothing more to ask for
Good truck
Bought the truck used with 37000 on it. It has been very reliable up to this point, I now have 60000 miles. I recently purchased a 29ft camping trailer and the truck did fine towing it. Maintaining highway speed was not a problem with the 6000lbs in tow. My only complaint is the brake system. I've tried new rotors and three different types of brake pads, but the brakes don't give you confidence. I wish I had the Hydro-boost system, the vaccum assist brakes are terrible.
Hidious Bench Seats
The 40/20/40 style bench seat is ungodly uncomfortable. If I had to do it again, I would take GM up on the 24 hour test ride. If I would have done this, I might have considered a different truck.
Willow's truck
This truck rides so smooth! Hardly any road noise. Easy to handle. Accelerates nicely! (must watch speed!) Headlight highbeams--excellent! Window cranks a little hard however, hopefully after some use, it will get easier to crank. Doors a little hard to shut, must use some power to close them. We just bought the truck brand new recently, so, I'm sure it just needs 'broke in' a bit!
Practical but not dull
very good truck
SILVERTRUCK
I bought a 2004 Extended Cab Z71 in June and in Sept my Wife rolled it and it was a total loss; the truck hydroplaned on rough wet pavement, spun around and rolled in the ditch. I found that the suspension was too ridgid and that the vehicle took on a mind of her own once she took to rough road esp. if the pavement was wet. After this I decided to purchase a 2005 Crew Cab Z71 and I find this truck the very best for driving and handling,I do however find that the suspension is still more rigid than I would like and so I alwalys now carry balance weight in the box,( 300 lbs) I have found that this makes a big difference to the stability / ride of the truck especially on rough / wet roads.
