Dependable Alternative

2005 GMC Envoy XUV SLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)

I purchased the XUV after owning a 3/4 ton Avalanche. When gas prices started soaring, I worried about the 8.1L engine, but still wanted the utilitarian rear area. I have the 5.3L DOD (Active Fuel Management) engine and have owned the vehicle for a little over three years. I have had no problems with the vehicle and highly recommend it. I own a 22ft Toy Hauler trailer that weighs in at about 5,600lbs with water and ATV and use the Envoy to tow it. I have towed from Idaho to South Dakota and over 6% or better grades in the mountains around the area, and the truck tows great! This is a great alternative to a 1/2 pickup if you don't need the bed.

I love this vehicle. It drives comfortably; however a little mushy around corners. I would highly recommend this SUV

After about 20,000 miles the check engine light came on then off. It does this reguarly about 1000 miles off and 100 on. By the time I get a dealer appointment it is off again. Other than that an excellent buy.

I'd seen these for years and finally bought one. Very handy for a pet owner with 2 big dogs. Used the sliding roof several times when getting items home. The cylinder deactivation probably helps some, but not huge. V8, heavy vehicle, & still 19-20 mpg highway - not bad. Plenty of power, even when loaded. Very comfortable on road trips. Tons of interior space, always enough room. No storage compartments in the cargo b/c of hard plastic, so I made a wooden truck box for jumper cables, first aid kit, tie downs, dog ramp, etc... Also, the tailgate won't stay open when swung open like a door and parked on a downhill.

I bought this vehicle for my wife in July, 2004, we traded in an Old Silhouette and was able to lower my monthly panyments by $40 per month. The XUV design of the cargo area is excellent. It truly is a SUV and a pickup rolled into one. An excellent vehicle for a do it yourself homeowner (yard work, transporting yard waste, machines, etc.)
