Me. It may not be that comfortable, but that doesn't bother me because I am comfortable.

my dad always, always drove a Chevy. He always bought used and they were all constantly in the shop. Its interesting how with Chevy trucks, something is always grinding, rattling or just plain cheap, like the interior furnishings. They have gotten better, but I would never own one.

Our old Yukon constantly leaked oil
Feb 24, 2021, 10:33 AM
|
|
It was one thing after another with it, get one oil leak fixed and an auto-ride shock would go out. Fix that, and the auto ride compressor would go out. Get all that fixed and the folding mirrors would quit working. Or maybe a window didn't want to roll down today. And this was a Denali.
My dad has had the same kind of issues. I think his record is a 3 months without the check engine light coming on. Of course, my wife has her heart set on a Tahoe now too.

Even partnering with Toyota could not break them of using cheap components and poor quality control.

My tahoe was like that for awhile
Feb 24, 2021, 10:43 AM
|

after about 6-8 repairs (around the 150k miles time) it evened out and became a really reliable vehicle even though I put that thing through hell.
Seems to be the trend with Chevy's. Once you get +100k, everything starts ####### up. Once you get past all of the issues, it'll go for another 200k miles.

still in warranty. Know your payments and hardly anything else is out of pocket.
Maybe just maybe you need to size down for a while, save money and then get the truck you want. But that is too logical I guess.

I've been making a bunch of extra payments on the truck
Feb 24, 2021, 11:17 AM

since it is older and it's my highest interest loan.
If I sell it for 1k less than I bought it I'll still have a pretty decent down payment. Use that with extended payments for a newer truck and can probably get my payments right where I need it to be.
Just have to clear some codes and clean some oil off before I sell it.

His is a 2017 and he's already had to put like $7k in it. Rebuilt transmission and all injectors replaced, some twice. The Chevy 5.3 is a colossal POS.
