Great SUV overall, nicely designed especially the 2-tone exterior color; straight-forward interior with durable materials strewn throughout the cabin. Straight 6 cyl is easily one of GMs best, transmission is not far behind. Safety is the upmost importance: after being t-boned at high speed (55+mph) by a drunk driver on the passenger door; the passenger walked away with only superficial injuries. The offensive vehicle that struck us was a midsized sedan that was completely obliterated from the firewall/ door hinge pillar forward, the engine was in 1 piece about 30 feet from where the sedan rested after impact. Took 6 weeks of repairs ($6k) than SUV was back on the road blazin' Trails again!

Owned my '04 LT for the last 14 years, 130K mi, second owner. Other than the usual maintenance I had to replace: leaking variable valve timing solenoid, leaking fuel pressure regulator, climate control door actuators, ac compressor. Not bad, nothing major, the first 2 items an owner can do himself at very low cost. I like the SUV a lot since it's tall, wide, heavy, thick doors, safe. I get 16mpg city, 22 hwy - typical for all 6 cyl SUV and fine with me to have the comfort and safety. Toyota sedan came through red light n hit me in front R corner as I was turning L onto the road, felt less than a bumper car bump. I drove away, she was towed away.

I loved driving this for the most part but things after thing kept going wrong. My speedometer stopped working along with my gas gage. Luckily my gas light still worked. I had issues with power steering as well. While I enjoyed the comfort of this vehicle I ultimately had to get rid of it because the issues were greater than what it was worth.
