Preformance- oh rev her up hear the 183 horsepower 4.3L v6 vortec go to work Build Quality- Tough even with rust strong till the end Appearance-the hottest thing on the road Cost of Ownership-fairly cheap great gas mileage, low maintenance Fun Factor- between 1 and a million its a billion
May 26, 2010Fun SUV, big enough to haul stuff with back seats folded down. 4WD is great I dont know how I'd get around in the winter without it. good on miles and runs well.
March 26, 2008Hard on gas, but lots of power, plenty of room, and excellent off-road with the right tires. Parts cost is reasonable, although a little on the high side when you go through a dealer. Overall a great vehicle for commuting and/or recreation.

October 6, 2009I loved this little beast! I actually used it as a moving van. A full size sofa will fit through the lift gate, or on the luggage rack. It will hold both a washer and dryer or a full size fridge!
June 26, 2010This thing is the most reliable car I have ever owned. It has 209,000 miles on it and still running strong. It is gutless in the performance department but it gets me where I need to go. 4WD works good on the beach and snow. Not the best towing rig but it tows my 21' Checkmate w/ tandem axle trailer to the launch and back all summer long.
November 24, 2009My ride for most of my college years, this was one of those "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" situations. I wasn't too terribly impressed with the gas mileage, but I do tend to push my rides quite a bit. With this ride I discovered just what POS's the Sony Xplod line of stereos are, and that I'll never trust a car stereo shop's work again (they left the 4wd controls disconnected). It was a comfortable ride, though, and served us well for the few years we had it.
January 2, 2008this was my first off roading vehicle and i loved every bit of it... i wish i still had this truck... if i kept it i would have painted it a different color and lifted it a bit higher.... GREAT TRUCK
October 11, 2012I I have owed a 95, 96, and this 97. Each had problems, each left me sitting on the roadside, but is still a great looking truck. Alot of power. Love the sound of an aftermarket preformance exhaust from the 4.3L.
August 11, 2011Can go through hell and back for you. It's no speed demon. It's no formula grip car. But it's going to do what exactly you bought it for. It's relatively reliable and can be quite a bit of fun if you know how and where to use it.
November 16, 2009Paint is good, build quality poor (lots of rattles and squeaks) 4.3L is pretty peppy and decent on gas Lots of money in repairs (over 5 years and 57,000 miles) Yeah I enjoy driving it and beating on it daily
