I'm going to lay it straight. This was a solid truck for the first few months of owning it. Owned this for about a year and since purchasing, I've replaced the engine twice, had a transmission give out, and the heads get completely destroyed. "only" 72k miles on the truck, 2k miles on the new engine and about 1k miles on the transmission. Looks wise, this truck is flawless. It's a crew cab, although it might as well be an extended cab with the leg space.. but the interior is clean and looks amazing. I'm mainly concerned because I was told how great gmc/chevy is and how Ford and Dodge suck.. ya ok. Tried it and you've failed so I'm going back to my reliability. Piece of crap. No thank you!
HORRIBLE PRODUCT!!!

READ CONSUMER REVIEWS! So far, we've had this truck less than 6 months; just spent $2600 in repairs last week...Then drove to FLORIDA and on the way back DIED on the interstate stranded from home. Costed over $500 to TOW to the dealership we bought it from HERNDON CHEVROLET, LEXINGTON, SC and so far they've assessed $6000 to repair! We purchased it for $20K less than 6 months ago; dealership wants to give us $13K if truck is ALL REPAIRED for a TRADE IN VALUE! HIGH WAY ROBBERY!!!!!!! I HATE this CHEVROLET!!!

I bought this new in 2009. My very first new vehicle ever. I bought it during Chevy's big rebate program and it was well worth it. I have the LT2 with leather bench seats. I truck rides down the highway so unbelievably comfortable that I forget I'm in a truck. It is smoother then my moms Cadillac and way smoother then my BMW or my wife's Liberty. I have 38k miles on and the tires are still almost new and it hasn't burnt a drop of oil. Working in the oil fields it has been dependable on ALL road conditions from the mountains of CO and UT to the ice sheets of ND, it has been great. When I had a company Ford F-150 XLT, after my 1100 mile drive to the rig,my back killed the next day, not this
Excellent work truck with "personality"

Power locks like to engage at any time, sometimes will not respond to key signal. I always keep the keys in my pockets. At ten years of age, tire pressure warning system is junk! Sometimes the "Freezing road/slippery" warning light engages as high as 50 degrees F. Work truck trim front storage armrest has no lid. If in a hurry to add a front seat passenger, everything falls into the back seat's foot well. Multiple piece back bumper plastic is too weak to back up to a loading dock. Mine broke back in 2010, when my 2009 was about 1 year old. It's still broken; why fix a faulty designed junk part. It looks bad. Factory tires were too thin, I got 2 sidewall punctures in the first 60 days-WORK TRUCK? Replacement better tires work very well. I love the trailer pulling option mine has. Easy to drive with 20 foot flat bed behind carrying my mowing/ general use tractor. Very good transmission, will pull uphill from standing stop on crushed stone driveway without spinning tires. Very durable interior-no problems with rugged "work truck" rubber mats and other hard finishes. I bought it new, now it's an excellent "one owner used truck". I plan on keeping it forever. I broke a tail light assembly, very readily available replacement parts. At 14 years old, Plastic air dam under front bumper wore out. Runs fine without it. Air bag recall is completed now. Chevy dealer insisted the engine needed major work. Watch out for dealer mechanics! They seem to prey on old guys with old trucks. Still runs great (after dealer "repairs"). I had seat covers, took them off. Original seats look like new! Still planning on keeping this truck.

Bought the truck in April, I love it, good power from a v6, comfy interior, looks good. The only thing I didn't like is days after I bought it was in the shop for a loose gas cap. The engine light came on cuz of it. Dealer was very fast in getting the truck back and I have not had any problem since, I would recommend this truck to anyone
