So far, there's been no issues and I really have no real complaints. My fuel economy has been a little better than expected. Sticker says 17 MPG city and I've been seeing somewhere in the 18-19 range. Highway is spot on at 24. Power is fine. Trans is calibrated for economy but responds when you spur it.
Likes: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both great. Gauges, infotainment, and control layout for the interior is really well done. Everything is where it you expect it. Crew cab is roomy enough for adults (and kids... one big car seat and one booster live in the back of mine). Heated textile seats. It fits in my garage!
Complaints: The ride is a little choppy in the rear over really broken pavement. Lots of splash and spray from the front tires; Splash guards are recommended. Brakes don't have much initial bite. Hard stops require heavy pedal input. The front air dam is l-o-w.
Since this photo was taken, I've added splash guards, a set of tubular steps (the nice GM ones), and had the bed sprayed. I also scored a deal on a brand new set of Z71 take-off wheels and tires that I split with a co-worker (he took tires, I took wheels) that will be used for winter tires.
AWESOMELY beautiful truck, man! So slick, I really like the front end on the latest model GM offerings.
