General comments?
Very reliable car
happy with it
haul wood and crap all day long
best car I've ever had.
Very comfortable ride, dog sits up front with me and helps drive.
Chicks dig the high ride
Stopping in snow is BAD. must put in neutral to stop on ice otherwise, rear wheels keep driving the car forward.
Very powerful car truck, can blow away most cars on the road!
GM stinks on quality, but they make some bad-to-the-bone engines with power.
