(6500) miles The plastic front license plate braket is held to the bumper with two plastic anchors and it flopped around. It had alot of wind noise around the doors at certain speeds. It seemed under powered with L-5 cylinder engine. It would down shift on small grades causing loud interior engine noise. Other than the trucks looks I guess I just don't have anything good to say about it.
Good move, for sure.
I got one as a loaner for three days while my 00 Z71 was in the shop and couldn't wait to give it back, really didn't like driving it.

I can remember when they were still not out and they were saying that is was supposed to be a 'mid sized' truck, IMO not even close, seems like a warmed over S-10 at best to me.

To anyone who has one and loves it, sorry, just my experience.
