I love my truck also. I just got a 1500 z71, It is by far the most comfortable truck I have ever owned. And I have owned ford and dodge. And none of the trucks I have owned ever had and major problems that I couldn’t fix myself.

Pretty basic economics. "If you make something people want you'll sell it." Too many choices and alot of bland choices in one company, trim the fat, make the stuff that sells. Simple. Quality not quantity.

Me too!
I second that. I have an '03 Z/71 ext. cab and it's comfortable, powerful, reasonable on fuel and MUCH prettier than those snub-nosed Tonka-toy Dodges, or those bumpty-bump, "why did I lose a kidney?" F-250s!


I've had 2 new Silverado's in the past 12 years and have never had a single problem. (Unless you consider 1 replaced u-joint a "problem.")

personally i bought a black 2001 silverado 2wd posi 3.73, 5.3 auto,with rubber mat and crank windows. 3/4 drop, 17" denali wheels, gmc side trim, and escalade chrome door handles. pretty good looking truck once you mix the right parts.

I will add, I also really liked my '92 Pontiac Grand Prix SSE. If I need to buy another car, I would buy another GP. That car was excellent, and it had 192k miles on it when I donated it to charity - and the KBB was still $1,300

If you couldn't tell, I like American vehicles and will continue to buy them. I believe the imports have forced the big 3 to improve their products to a competitive level. I have small gripes like anyone else, but I have faith that GM will turn itself around.

PS: I flat out told the GMC salesperson who was trying to sell me a Nissan Titan that there was no way on God's green earth I could pull into a major car show with a Japanese tow vehicle
