"I've owned other small trucks and the Sonoma out performed them all. The 4.3 V6 gives plenty of power and torque. Hauls heavy loads and can pull 2900 on the bumper hitch or 5000 with an equaizer hitch. If you buy one with the ZQ8 factory suspension package, it will be fun to drive when empty, with a 2" lower stance, improved handling and minimum body roll. It's very reliable and on the rare occasion it needs repair, the parts are inexpensive and easy to find. The interior controls are well placed, with no hiiden or hard to reach buttons. Seats are comfortable,even on long trips. I recommend the extended cab model. better seating adjustments and you have room to keep items out of view behind the seats."

"In 2WD it rides like a luxury car. In 4WD it slices through 10 inch snow covered roads while other vehicles get stuck. The only drawback is the short pickup bed."
