Runs excellent

It's great and has never let me down. I would definitely recommend this truck to anyone. It's a great truck for anyone the everyday person who also needs to occasionally haul stuff or pull trailers

Excellent

I love our Chevy we had it for 13 years no issues other than the differential that just went out. The seats are extremely comfortable we just purchased a new Chevy and the seats in the 2017 Chevy don't compare to the seats in our 2005 Chevy.

A very capable truck.

The truck can do just about anything. I have the Z71 package with every option available. Its has around 240,000 miles on it right now and is still running strong.

Great ride, and comfy truck to drive around. Love

Love this truck. Been very good to me for the year that I have had it. Comfy ride and don't have to worry about it breaking down. Reliable so far. I keep my trucks well maintained and it hasn't failed me yet.

Great truck

Its a great truck that keeps me comfortable no matter the weather outside. I gave it 5 stars across the board except exterior styling due to the common Chevy rust on the rockers. Other than that, I plan on buying another.

Room for improvement

All good except rust and more rust oozing out to many places. GM can do better. Also why can't they make a door hinge that will hold up?

what a great investment.

This is my second Chevrolet truck and this has been a good one too. It has the 4.3L v6 engine mated to the nv3500 5 speed manual transmission. It got me through schools that ranged from Mooresville, NC to Avondale, AZ and now has 152,000 miles on it and is still daily driven and is used at the dealer where I work to tow broken down cars into the shop to be worked on such as Land Rovers and Jaguars. The V6 is surprisingly powerful enough to do most anything you need (except for heavy towing demands 5000lbs and up). Only had the check engine light on once for the thermostat in all this time. Averages highway at 23mpg and city 17mpg.
