Chevy trucks are built for family time, work and fun.

I like the space in the vehicle as well as the four doors. I don't really have any dislikes about the vehicle. It's perfect for the family as well as hauling. My only complaint is my seat heater isn't working, but I've not had it checked.

Pros from Owners

Racahel M.

Being off the ground and able to see around other cars. The interior is spacious especially in the back seat even when the front seats are pushed back. The engine is good quality. The size is not too big but big enough I do not feel like I am going to get crushed by other SUVs.

Cons from Owners

Racahel M.

The fuel is the biggest con, it's a pretty penny to fill it up, my engine is a V8 so it's easily $50 to get to full. Its size can be a problem in the city or any place that has tight turns, small parking lots are a nightmare in the truck.
