You own one so I guess you can call it what you like.
I have owned a 2000, 2002, 2004, 2008, and now a 2013. I had to replace the ball joints on the 2004 at 50,000 miles. Nothing on the rest of them.
My son has a 2006 Chevy with the Duramax and has replaced both hubs. His wife has a 2007 Tahoe w/70,000 miles and he just replaced both hubs last week.
Besides the the ball joints replaced on the 2004, the only other item I replaced on those 5 year models was a Turbo Speed Sensor at 90,000 miles on the 2008.
Four days ago, the 2013 was 1 year old and has 19,800 miles on it. 70% of those miles are hauling the TC or my 11,000 lb. dozer. No problems. Must be good junk!
Not bad for over 400,000 miles from 'junk' trucks Huh!?
