The truck is great on the highway specifically for its get up and go and is generally a pleasure to drive. It is a quiet and comfortable ride. Steering handling could be tighter and I find it wanders a bit much on the highway. I tow a trailer and this truck is great for that, it came with a factory towing package. I bought this truck off lease after 3 years on the road. After the fact, I was able to view its service record and was surprised how much had been replaced under warranty before I bought it. Could not get a printout so did not include the pre-purchase work done on it in my list.

OK what the heck are you people doing to your vechicles!?! I bought my 99 SLT used with 42,000 and today have 63,000. Most the issues I see on these sites are simply maintenance and common sense.

One review mentioned just about every electronic inside was having problems... hmmmm did somebody drive it in a lake or possibly a screw up when jump starting it. As for axles and trannies, you need to maintenance them more often if you are driving the hell outta them like I do!!! At 50,000 I replaced all fluid and filters, pulled the front bearing assembly and cleaned/relubed it. Yes the oil return lines had to be replaced and the defective GM rotors, but everything else has been fine. Take a few hours on a weekend and check all hinges and electrically connection, lube the crap outta the stuff and use good oils and lubes

(Synthetics are awesome)
