This truck is not worth buying! My husband bought one 6 months ago with only 70,000 miles on it. At first it seemed like a great truck until the traction control light went off saying that it needed serviced we thought no big deal we'll take it to the shop. We took it in and was told that it is a bigger problem than just the traction control, however nobody seemed to know what it was. The truck began not wanting to shift into second gear, was running rough and burning through oil and gas. My husband contacted GM and explained the situation at first they seemed willing to help and even gave him a free diagnostic which revealed next to nothing, we were told that it "may be" the lifters and that would be 3800 to fix, umm sorry but we are not rich and are not paying 3800 for a "may be". The truck has been parked as it is unsafe to drive without traction control let alone all the smoke that is coming out of it, funny thing is that our neighbor has the same exact truck with the same exact problems and as we were researching we found that lots of other GM products built during this year with the same engine are also having the same exact problems. My husband contacted GM again questioning why so many of their products are having this issue of course after numerous phone calls back and forth there was still no answer as to why, and they are very sorry blah blah blah. They are going back and forth saying that we never took it to get diagnosed then when my husband told them he has the paperwork the backtracked yet again still without any solutions. They are not willing to stand behind their products nor are they willing to help their customers. They know that they messed up and are not willing to do a mass recall as they of course don't want to lose business. Do yourself a favor and research this truck or any other GM product built from 2013 with the 5.3 engine before you think about buying it. Google 2007 Chevy traction control and tons of GM/Chevy products built during this year have the same exact problem. Again GM/Chevy will not stand behind their product as we have tried to no avail. Do yourself a favor and get a Ford as they are built Ford Tough and Chey's are more like Sand than like a Rock.in the meantime I'm posting this review on as many sites as I can find.
