Rides And Handles Grrreat, With Lots Of Power. — steering has a slight rattle, been told this can be upgraded through warranty. Check engine light has been coming on, apparently it is a emmissions vent, but it was replaced, light came back on a few days later. Overall, I love it and has lots of balls for a 5.3 L. Getting about 24 MPG on highway, could prob easily get 700 kms per tank.

Boat Tower — The first car I drove was the Impala. The first Vehichel I drove Was the Sierra, Which amazingly had less understeer than the impala (read previous review to get joke) It is an amazing truck. It done many trips and has seen many lake trips. Its towing capabilities are great. It is a work horse and has had its battle scars but its a reselient machine.

Best Truck In Its Class. — Good acceleration, good speed, not needed repairs in a while; It was tan with chrome door-handles, chrome gas tank cover, chrome EVERYWHERE! . Even though it had low gas mileage it was fun to drive around the nearby states and parishes.

Buy A Truck, Use It Like One! — quicker then ford or dodge, no major repairs yet,very comfortable and luxurious interior, beats gas mileage on dodge, similar to ford. Wont drive anything else other then GM. Best truck out of north american and foriegn auto makers. Buy One!

Great Truck — Truck is well built and a good value. I do not like the intermediate steering shaft design that clunks around and feels like you have bad ball joints due to the grease settling out in the shaft.
