Re: Are you guys as disappointed with 07 and up chevy trucks as i am?

Yes disappointed in that body style era! Know of several around '10 that had major motor internal issues before 70k miles. Our '07 (first yr of new style) was a really good truck mechanically but cheesy interior...seats very uncomfortable, plastic reclining handles stripped out, of course the cracked dash, & carpet worn in spot by throttle petal by 25k miles. New transmission at 150k; no motor issues & sold with 190k miles on it. But spent many months & several hundred dollars trying to get ck engine light & traction control lights off (made shift hard from 1 to 2 & that prob what eventually got trans)...all to eventually be corrected by new ground cable end. So we won't get another truck of that era; found a 2006 with 45k on it for our latest "new" truck!
