The General just keeps making them better. And listen up folks..besides being fast with loads of horse power....They get GOOD mileage! I stay above 16 in town and often go over 20 on trips. I know Edmonds likes to knock GM but I can attest they are full of "you know what"!!! Their bias shows when they say the 'Burb's are gas guzzlers and the Ford Expedition's aren't... The 'Burbs get far better mileage but you'd never now it from Edmund's anti GM minion's!

Vehicle has been completely trouble free for 100,000 miles. Very solid and stable at high speeds has held up real well as a vehicle used for kids sports and to towing my boat. I will be buying a new one in the fall. Just the most vehicle for the money in the market.

Bought 1 year old with 27k miles. Drives like a dream, even in extreme snow/blizzard. Problem is reliability. Had AC replace at 50k, transmission at 60k, transmission at 90k, transmission at 110k. Never towed anything, just issues with transmission. With complaints said, we feel ultra safe traveling, even in extreme blizzards when other cars are spinning off the road. Put Yokohama AT/S tires on it, and can go anywhere in sun/rain/snow.

I have no problems at all with this vehicle except the fact I had to have the transmission rebuilt @ 85000 the fuel mileage is better than 17 miles per gallon on highway I get about 21 to 22 miles per gallon on the highway and if you don't believe me try it I drove from my house to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and back which is about three and a half hours to 4 hours round trip and still had over half a tank of gas
