Faults:

Recall on the windshield washer fluid heater.

Driver's side window regulator was random with its operation. Dealer replaced it under warranty with no further problems.

Thin paint that chips very easily.

Sheet metal dents with minimal pressure.

General Comments:

This truck was a compromise for the diesel that I wanted. I couldn't find a diesel with the options that I wanted with a reasonable price, so I settled with the Vortec Max. Since then I haven't thought about the diesel any longer.

This truck is everything I wanted in my daily driven truck. Awesome power once the tranny nannies get out of its way.

Love the options that the SLT 2 package comes with. It's just missing the nav and sunroof. The latter I didn't want in the first place.

It tows like a half ton shouldn't.

The Active Fuel Management (AFM) takes some getting used to, but with this big motor averaging 18 mpg on the highway, I can't complain.

Like any GM truck that I've owned, the ride is plush. This truck has become the favorite of my family and friends, because of its good looks and versatility.

Some gripes:

The truck sits too low for a 4 wheel drive.

The edges of the truck are too soft in my vision, making it hard to feel the size of it. Which is larger than my 1999 Silverado.

GM's programing for torque management is too restrictive to let you enjoy all of the power the motor makes.

Truck came with trailer bake module built into the dash, but wasn't hooked up from the factory.

Climate control always defaults on outside air, even after selecting recycle before shutting it down.

Faults:

After having my brand new truck for about a month, the first time I turned on the fog lights, they didn't work. If I play with the switch for a long time, sometimes they'll turn on. Sometimes they won't turn off. I assume it's a bad switch. I haven't gotten fixed yet.

General Comments:

The interior is of poor quality, both the plastic and the cloth. Worst seat fabric I've ever had on a vehicle. Everything sticks to it. I can't even get all of the lint off with a shop vacuum. Can't get clean no matter how long I vacuum.

Plastic parts (doors, dash, back of seats, etc.) scratch up easily. Also, when these parts get dirt on them, I can't seem to wash it out. It leaves permanent marks. Just the bottom of kids' shoes scrape up the plastic on the back seat and smudge it all up. Looks horrible.

Definitely the poorest quality interior of any truck I've ever owned. I'm very disappointed, and as much as I hate leather, I might switch to that in my next truck because of the poor quality in my 2008 Sierra.
