- Reliability (4)The GMT800 platform is legendary for its longevity; the engine and transmission are bulletproof, though electrical gremlins in the instrument cluster are common.
- Maintenance (4)Parts are incredibly easy to source and affordable due to shared components with the Sierra and Tahoe, making it one of the cheaper full-size SUVs to keep running.
- Technology (2)While the Bose sound system was premium for its time, the lack of modern connectivity, basic trip computer, and dated infotainment controls are clear drawbacks today.
- Comfort (5)Exceptional ride quality with plush leather 'captain's chairs' and a cavernous interior that remains quiet even at highway speeds.
- Dynamics (3)The 5.3L Vortec V8 provides ample power for towing and merging, but the steering is overly light and the soft suspension leads to significant body roll during cornering.
