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!?
Now if you told me that 400 k miles was all on one truck I would be impressed.
