This is the best truck I ever had. the suspension on ma baby is good, good interior I drove ma baby from Toledo to Texas and back with only one problem which was the belt that I forgot to replace before I left, but overall I love it!.

Best Truck Ever

I have owned my 2004 Envoy XL (v8 4wd) for almost 3 years now. Only issue I have EVER had is the a/c actuator which to this day is broken because I don’t really care about air condition not a big deal. Got stationed at fort bliss in El Paso TX. Drove her all the way down from Indianapolis IN. Not a single issue. If you take care of these vehicles I promise they will take care of you. Gonna keep this truck forever. Just keep up with oil changes and regular maintenance and I promise it will do you good.

Comfortable vehicle with lots of room

This vehicle has been great to transport family and cargo. I have hauled a lot of stuff with this SUV. It has a comfortable ride, and has been dependable.

Roomy interior, dependable daily driver.

Smooth running SUV, dependable GMC and low mileage. Although it is a rear wheel, not AWD, I've never had trouble with traction issues. Easier and cheaper to maintain and repair than a four wheel drive car.

Harvey drowned my 2005 so I purchased a 2004

I bought my 2005 used in 2012. It had 121,000 when the flood happened and she still ran and looked like new. So I found a 2004 with 72,000 miles with a much nicer trim package for $7,000. It needs some tweaks but all in all GMC Envoys have proven to me to be very dependable, sturdy, and a smooth ride. I would recommend GMC to anyone.

The best suprise in years.

I bought this GMC Envoy XL as a replacement for my S-10 Blazer that was stolen and totaled. What agreat suprise. My wife and I drove it from Plano Texas to Ft. Meyers Florida. It was a great trip. We got 18 mpg and it drove like a dream. If you are thinking of buying one of these, and have a choice, get the V8. It has good power and very responsive. I will gladly recomend this caar to anyone.

Great for Camping

My Land Rover was falling apart after 3 years new and I was afraid of high maintenance. After looking around, I really liked the style of the Envoy, of course, took the sideboards off for additional clearance and went with 16" tires for extra rubber. I can store 2 days of firewood as well as 4 peoples camping gear and my kitchen for a week outing. I like the fit and finish and the ridiculous number of 12V outlets ;-) Wish it had more cup holders. Very happy with this vehicle which now has nearly 170K miles on it and only one tiny rock chip (a miracle).

2nd Envoy, traded for a 3rd Envoy

We really enjoyed the XL version. Fold down 3rd row was very handy. V8 engine was a must, lots of muscle. Great car on long trips. Shift on the fly 4x4 was a life saver. The rear AC/Heat is a nice feature.
