The only good thing about this vehicle was the price I got at the dealership in Urbana Ohio. I’ve had a lot of electrical trouble; tons of problems with the brakes and the transmission, power steering going out again and you don’t want to be out in the rain with it when the windshield wipers quit working. This is the last straw for me. No more GM products. We have always drove GM products and it just isn’t worth it anymore. I wish someone would run a red light and broadside me, so I could go and a buy a reliable Jap car with the insurance money.

No mechanical problems. Very quiet ride with the right tires. Plenty of power.

This is the first car I have ever owned. I am quite lucky that I am able to drive something like this. Now as a younger person in the world how else am I supposed to drive this truck. I used to be hard on it.. Hard accelerating, braking, steering, offroading.. The list goes on. Really though, now I take good care of it and the only problem I have had with this truck is the manifold gasket and the drivers' seat. Other than that the fluids are fine between checkups. The truck runs great for me.
