Perfect for Traveling - roomy, comfy, and it's a beautiful truck!
I live my truck! I have travelled through a few states and it has not disappointed me. I have a lift on it, about a 2 inch lift and it's perfect! The 4 wheel drive works great! I don't do much off road but I haven't gotten stuck in anything. The back seat is big enough for my kids car seats and my pup. It's comfortable and everyone has a lot of legroom. It is quiet. It's smooth. It's really an awesome vehicle!

It's not a truck a girl normally owns, and I love that! Lifted white truck with loud exhaust!
It has a full 4 doors with a bed, so anything I need can fit. I got a 6" lift and installed it along with 35" tires. I have tinted my windows and put on aftermarket exhaust. I love my truck!! I have an unlimited car wash pass so I can clean her every day!! She sounds good, she looks good, and she feels good when I drive her!

That I take care of it, from servicing to washing and waxing often.
I like it because it has been extremely reliable. I also like it because it does everything I need it to do. I also like the performance and style.

I am a large guy and this is a large pickup.
4 wheel drive. Pickup truck, and will do what i want when I want it to. Very low maintenance and few major repairs.

It is silver in color and the rear door is rusting which I.
My vehicle is a trailblazer. I love it because of all the different driving gears. All wheel drive, 4 wheel drive hi 4 wheel drive lo. It has 3 rows of seats and plenty of room. Goes smoothly down the road.

It has way more power than it looks like. Do not need to press the gas pedal much.
Other than a few electric problems, my Sierra runs pretty well. No motor or transmission issues thus far.

It has a tough bed for hauling and does a great job pulling trailer
Like the size. Hate the security system. I like the 4 wheel drive
