I have heard nothing but horror stories about GM trucks in regard to transmissions and engine issues. Personally I would never drive anything but a Toyota.

Funny you should say that. My friend had a issue with the truck just braking by itself out of nowhere. It was a sensor issue

That’s the direction I’m heading. But I couldn’t buy any Japanese vehicle as long as my father was alive. He was a WW2 vet, and he hated all things Japanese.

It’s funny. He served not in the Pacific, but in the Atlantic on anti-submarine duty. And he knew all about the destruction the German U-boats caused. But he had nothing against German cars.

I guess Pearl Harbor made the difference.

My experience with Chevy trucks does not support your ‘nothing but horror stories’ comment. I bought a new 2002 Trailblazer and drove it until 2021 when my oldest son wanted it instead of me trading it in on me 2021 Colorado. The Trailblazer currently has over 200,000 miles on it. Over the time of my ownership I had to replace the shocks twice, front ball joints once, and of course engine and transmission oils, and tires. I could not ask for a more trouble free vehicle overall.

Same. Tundra and a couple of FJs here. Smiles per mile.
