I purchased this vehicle new in 1997 and have driven it ever since. It has reliably hauled loads whenever I needed it. It has been inexpensive to maintain and comfortable to drive. After 10 years the paint is still sharp and the sound system good. I suppose I could wish for better gas mileage (16 city, 21 hwy) but I don't know any other V8 truck that would do any better.

Purchase truck at 40k. I now have 110k on this vehicle. Replace the tranny 10k ago. Replace intake manifold gasket, corroded hose connection twice. Other typical consumable items have been replaced. I was a little disappointed with the transmission replacement but otherwise the truck runs great and takes quite a beating.
No complaints

In the 3 years that I've owned this truck, I've had to do brakes once and one tune up (plugs, wires & a cap), nothing else. My truck has teh 4.3L V6, and a 5sp manual tranny. No word of a lie: in the summer I get 20 miles to the gallon, and the rest of the year she gets about 19 to 19.5miles to the gallon. It is a 2 wheel drive truck, so (living in New Hampshire) I've been forced to get a set of tire chains so that I can crawl out of almost anything, and it works.
Very reliable and FUN to drive

This truck has awesome power with the 5.7 engine. It has also been the most reliable vehicle I have owned. The speed speed controlled radio volume can't be beat. You will know what I meen if you travel the open road frequently; turning up the volume at high speeds....turning it down at toll booths. Now, with this feature, I adjust it when I get in and THATS IT! Unfortunatly, for those like me, without the 3rd door, getting into the back seat is a challenge for adults, plus it lacks leg room. On the other hand, it is great for kids. It's guaranteed my next vehicle will be another GMC Sierra.
