Superior ride off-road, great interior design, great passenger and cargo space. Great power combined with fuel economy rarely seen in vehicles of this size. I don't think the editors that rated this at 6.x have even driven one of these. I think they must be GM-haters, cuz this kicks butt on pretty much everybody else.
Still going

The only issue with this vehicle is the rear air list system. That I just replaced with coil springs. The only other work it has needed is oil changes and brake maintenance. The car handles like a charm.

Ive had my Envoy for 4 years now and when I say this baby has never ever broken down on me it hasn't🙌🙌. My 2005 GMC Envoy SLT is bulletproof. At lease that's how I feel. I've totally mistreated this truck and it still rides like a Champ!! I've drive it from Houston Texas to Las Vegas with no problems. All over Texas. It now has 226 plus thousand miles. I have replace control arms, tie rods, brakes, rotors, calipers, tires and spark plugs but that was just because I was towing my Honda from Texas to Vegas and I wanted to do some maintenance. I did have to replace the throttle body because it was stalling and my ac wouldn't work. Everything I turned my ac on my truck would stall. Changed my throttle body after cleaning it a few times and no longer have that issue. Now I'm starting to have some electrical issues with my instrument cluster. When it acts up my radio turns off. My windows won't go up and all my lights on my dashboard turn on. Im going to replace that too. No need to buy a new car when my paid off suv is a champ!!!

I have always wanted an SUV and when I test drove this one I loved it. Reviewed everything inside and out and was impressed with the vehicle and the price. I had minor problems that got replaced in the first year or two - seal around the doors, light switch inside, seal around license place frame all covered under warranty and with purchasing a new vehicle you have to work out the bugs. Anyways in my 5th year of owning it the idle pulley went out and now the bearings in the water pump which is very disappointing. After reading other reviews what else is going to go wrong. My next vehicle will definitely not be a GMC.
WORST SUV EVER OWNED

BEING A LONG TIME OWNER OF SUV'S I find my new envoy to be the worst one yet. The front bumper cover doesn't sit straight,back to dealer 4 times in less than a month for that. It rattles and makes all kind of strange noises. It is really underpowered with that 4200 6 cyl. that feels like a 4 cylinder under my foot. It is being serviced more than it is in my garage ! all this trouble and only driven it 275 miles and owned it less than a month. I am VERY disappointed with it and my selling dealer will do nothing about it !!
