Review

I'm a grandmother and use my truck to haul grandkids to the rodeos, get hay, and just general travel. It is the most comfortable truck that I have ever driven. Mechanically we have had only minor problems and it has over 170,000 miles on it. I can't really think of anything I don't like about it. If it ever gets replaces it will be with another Chevy 1-ton. It will pull anything I've put behind it and is extremely reliable on the road. Nothing but a Chevy for me!

Best Features

Room, comfortable, mechanically sound, overall appearence, pulls anything.

Worst Features

Not one thing!

Review

Transmission position sensor failed just out of warranty. Truck starting shutting off while driving at 40K. GM no help. Found online info re: bad crank position sensor and replaced to fix. Both problems known to happen on other trucks. Exhaust stud broke and flange warped. Tailgate latch rusted inside gate and does not catch. Transmission slipping after stop and go. Toyota went 3 times as far with no problems.

Best Features

Ride, seats, interior room. Handling, towing and hauling capacity. Radio, lighting, and controls.

Worst Features

Do whatever Toyota does to build a trouble free truck.

spare. Can be a rought ride on a bumpy
road.

Power, interior cab is comfortable from and rear. Love the compass and temperature built into the rear view mirror

Styling, ride adjustment.
