Most useful vehicle I have ever owned

This car was able to do anything I needed it to do. I could carry myself and all my friends with the seats up and still carry all our stuff for the beach or but the seats down and help people move houses as well as carry two kyacks on the roof and a kyack through the back window. Also it is surprisingly powerful and fast for its size.

Awesome Suv from Chevrolet

I drove this Suv over not one but two treacherous mountains every day to get to and from work.It has incredible 4 wheel drive in the harsh winter roads and rides very well on interstates.The EXT is great as you can fold down the 3rd row seats for plenty of cargo room .It is built very sturdy and is a strong overall vehicle

Travel Comfortably

It has plenty of legroom in all three rows of seating for comfortable travel with short and long distance trips, and is very reliable. Because of the size, it does not have a very good gas rating but the overall value for the money is good.

This SUV goes and goes with our family

Bought this SUV new in 2004. It has been a great car! I've changed the oil, fluids and tires as part of normal maintenance but it just keeps going. We have over 160,000 miles on it now and it still runs great. It has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. It has grown up with my kids and taken us to 5000 ballgames. Just love this vehicle. The only cons I have is that it is terrible on the ice and snow.

Money pit

Bought it new, good at first then one thing after another needed repair. Repairs are expensive, it's not a well designed vehicle to work on and labor is extensive. Repairs included: rear wiper, power steering, differential, ball joints, a/c, 4wheel drive, etc... Gas mileage poor It does ride well in the snow I have 5 GM vehicles in my name. I did my best to keep GM out of bankrupcy and this vehicle did it's best to drive me into bankrupcy.I am very disappointed with this one.

Ugly Ducking Turns Into Swan

I purchased a new TB EXT in 2004 with the North Face option, V8, 4WD and 3.73 axle ratio. My initial reaction was that it was a sloppy handling, ungainly utility vehicle that could tow my 6000# boat. Six years later, it has become one of my all-time favorite vehicles, reliably performing in an amazing variety of uses. Although a couple of minor cosmetic touches has improved its appearance, the most significant change occurred when I replaced the terrible OEM Continental tires with decent GY (and now General) tires. Suddenly, its limo-like ride was matched with reasonable handling for vehicle of its size. It has also turned out to be an excellent tow vehicle, and has averaged 16 mpg over the past 100k miles, Tires have lasted 50k miles, and I just replaced the brakes at 90k! Too bad they aren't made any more, and used ones (especially V8's) are hard to come by...
