I love this truck except for the low end power and fuel mileage.This truck has 305 hp,but it has a torque management system on it.It does not let you have any low end power.After 30 mph it runs great.Dont take any chances and pull out in front of anyone or pull a boat up a steep boat ramp,it want pull it.I only get 13 mpg it is suppose to get 17 to 23 mph.This truck only has 7500 miles on it.Really if i new about the lack of power and bad mileage i would have bought a ford.I dont appreciate gm dictating the power i use on take off.

It's a 2012 we bought used in 2012. Had about 5000 miles when we got it. It still looks and runs great. Has a little rust starting over the rear wheel wells, but nothing major. It has 57,500 miles on it. I've had no issues with it whatsoever. The model description below is not accurate. My truck is an extended cab (LT) 6.5 ft bed with a 5.3L v8. It's 2wd with a 3.43 rear end. This combination gets about 24.5mpg on the highway @ 70mph. Gas mileage "around town"? Don't ask.

I have ut most confidence in the Lt or above Chevy trucks...we have 3 of them for personal use...better than a car any day and with active fuel management we get better mileage than friends who have AWD small SUVs with 6 cylinder. Again Chevy Trucks Rock
