Honestly Ive had resepct for them after i saw that little 22r straight YOKE my jeep out of a creek. I mean i figured it could do it but the truck made it look waay easy, no strain at all. my uncle had that truck for around 15 years i think it had around 250K and ran fine when he sold it.

I have heard great things about the VW Taureg, comes in a TDI model also. Brother (works at a performance shop) did a tune up on one and took it out to test drive and was really impressed with it, same as everyone else at the shop. That says a lot to me for guys who build 950hp Cobras and 10 sec. WS6's all day long.

my mom had an 04 trailblaser ls. it guzzlede gas compared to my dads avalanche. but over all it was a great suv. my dad used to tow his 21ft bass boat with it. it had pretty decent pick up, and we dident have any problems with interior noises. it actually drove pretty smooth and quiet. i just thought the gas milage seemed a lil low

Get a used diesel crewcab pickup you -----. A few months ago there was a 2005 Dodge 6spd with a ton of bells and whistles like turbo upgrade, fat IC, air ride in the back for hauling, automatic sidesteps, 6 gauges including egt, banks exhaust, chip, and intake, mint black paint and blacked out wheels. Guess how much it was.. $35k. That bitch was on the lot 2 days before it was gone. My lady's bro was gonna get it but the dealer sold it out from under him.. so he settled for an 04 Duramax with an Allison for a bit less. With that said used crewcab diesels own, and you should find one. ---- gas suv's.

Well my wife is the one that is going to be driving this rig most of the time. To work and back. Its about 5 miles round trip. I dont care to much about rattles, My crx has solid mounts and it noisey as ---- inside. But it allways starts and runs. I just want the piece of mind of having a warranty. And the reason Im not getting a truck is because I allready have a 64 for f100 with a big block. I dont need a truck. I also want it to fit in my small garage. The trailblazer will fit in my garage with about 2 feet in front of it and in back, I know I couldnt get a quade cab truck to fit in my garage.

is the warranty a GMPP or is it some shitty aftermarket powertrain warranty?
