Other than the fuel mileage, I really like it. Super comfy, very spacious, and ride is absolutely sublime. I really like GM SUVs, the drivetrains are pretty bulletproof and can take a pretty good amount of abuse before letting go.
I'm thinking about selling my truck and keeping this - the 6.4 in my truck gets about 14 city/19 freeway, and this has been getting ~12.5 city and ~16 city. With regular being ~40 cents cheaper than D2, it's actually about the same as my truck to run. Can't tow quite as much as the diesel, but should pull everything I have.
Thoughts? Am I nuts? |
Nah, but forget that silly yuppie-mobile and nevermind the gas mileage.
You need one of THESE, dontcha know.
