I wouldn’t call it a reliable truck I’d more or less call

I wouldn’t call it a reliable truck I’d more or less call it a hardy truck just because of the availability of parts when things inevitably break on this thing. The 4L60E Transmission is a piece of GM crap. However the ride is extremely nice on these things on any terrain and the cap is very well designed for a lack of blind spots offering a full view around the truck.

I recommend it is a great truck.

I put 275000 miles on that truck with the V6 Vortex engine. Only that happened is it jumped time. So I sold the man fixed it and drove it.
