I love my truck, it is large enough to do the work I need to do on the farm but without the horrible gas mileage.  Good performance for the newly designed Inline 5 but not as much power as a V-8, of course.  Nice looking truck that I love to drive!!!!!!!!

Pros — the color and spray in bedliner
Cons — back seats are too small and uncomfortable

Overall, I like it. It's not going to fall apart on you, it has an average acceleration, pretty good braking, below average handling, standard issue horsepower (?) is sufficient. Good for trips w/ passengers b/c of extended cab. Comfortable. Bed is not compromised that much by cab.

Pros — Fairly economic for a pickup, never have had a mechanical problem
Cons — Doesn't handle all that well, especially in 4WD

5 cylinder packs alot of power for such a small engine.. 220 horses, it'll get up and go. Typical GM brake pad squeaking, but that's easily fixed.

Sadly, I don't have my truck anymore - but I loved him!!  I ordered him special from Chevy and waited impatiently FOUR MONTHS for his arrival!  He was beautiful, fun to drive, and turned a LOT of heads - but he wasn't long for this world.  Not my world, anyway.  

From January 2005 until April 2006, he'd been in the shop about 7 to 10 times (I lost count!) and I'd actually only physically drove him for 6 months.  When I placed my order with Chevrolet, I ordered a sunroof.  Unfortunately, they dropped the ball, BIG TIME, and didn't include drains for the water to go somewhere when it rained.  The result was a leaky sunroof and an eventual lemon law buy-back from Chevy.  

I do stand behind my love for this truck, and am replacing it with the new V8 version in 2009/2010.  

Pros — Sporty ZQ8 suspension, 220 horse power, BEAUTIFUL styling, fun to drive, good gas mileage!
Cons — Leaking sunroof and annoying squeak.
