Stabilitrak

DON'T BUY!!!!! Yesterday my Stabilitrak light came on as well as my engine light which put my truck into reduced power mode and eventuality killed my motor while I was driving my family home a couple hours away. I honestly hate GM now, I'll never ever buy a death trap GM ever again. Me and my family literally could have been killed because of that stupid sensor. I advise anyone to look into the Stabilitrak systems and which GMs have it before you buy one. I'll never buy one and I'm going to sue GM over this issue for almost having my family killed.

Old technology-Drum brakes

Drum brakes! List price 38k + and I got drum brake on the rear-end. Maybe they wouldn't need all those air bags to get the 5 star safety rating if the truck could stop. Put disc brake all the way around.

I recently got into a front end collision and it protected me well and the truck will hopefully be rebuildable.
