Brand new, but so far so good. Third Chevy I've owned, and the best one yet. If your looking for an off-road truck, this one will take you where you want to go.

This truck is 17 years now with 211k. The drive train is strong. I just had the front end rebuilt among other parts that have been replaced over the years as maintenance. The truck has held up and been reliable. Its now going to be put thru the test with teen drivers in the family. But if you can find a used one, somewhat low miles, and not torn up, would make a good truck to own.

Awful!

Ours has been nothing but a problem! They dent VERY easily. The engine light comes on for no reason that the dealer can find. The cd player broke at about 30,000 miles. The console broke at 40,000. All the gauges stopped working at 45,000. When we are in neutral, it read 50 mph, when driving at normal speeds it maxes out. The glove box fell out. The 4 wheel drive got stuck on. It was stuck on for 3 days and was making an awful noise. We finally got it back in 2 wheel drive and the noise is still there. For its age, it has low miles and is not used for anything out of the ordinary. Not even driven everyday. Horrible truck, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

Enough, I'm ready to trade for Tundra

I too experienced the rattly loose steering shaft. Truck developed the drive line clunk at 5000 miles. Repeat fixes helped but not solved the problem. Lately the drive axle had to be replaced. This breakdown occured while towing my boat. The Tow Mode switch also died on its own. All work was covered by warranty. I'm scared what will happen after the warranty expires with 5000 miles left to go. To that end, I'm trading it in for a new 2007 Tundra. First new vehicle bought, last Chevy I will buy.
