Watch the Tires

An excellent vehicle! Good ride, good comfort, good secure feeling. The problem is the choice of Firestone tires as the standard for this vehicle. After 15,000 miles, they are "cupped" on the inside front even though the dealership took care of the rotation along with other recommended services. In the cabin, the tires sound like a monster truck at 50 mph. The dealship answer - normal wear for these tires on a GM vehicle. Their advice - replace the Firestones with Michelins - at my cost! At least Ford/Firestone paid for the replacement on an Explorer.

We purchased "Big Blue" new Feb 9 of '01 and with 104K miles on her, I have nothing but good things to say. We have had no mechanical issues at all as I've maintained her by the book. The over all design and the power train really can't be beat and for family vacations as well every day use, it's been the ideal vehicle for us. Our plan is to keep it for another 100K miles as we see no reason to replace it with something similar, when it's still in such great shape!

Overall, truck rides very well. Very roomy for the kids. Carries 4*8 sheets of material (drywall). Load it up for the cottage and attach boat with no problem.

I have the K2500 with the 8.1L engine. It will haul our 8000lb trailer with ease. Is comfortable for the 4 kids. Gas mileage is around 12 mpg (@75mph). Less when towing. Great vehicle.
