GM Needs Nissan's Help
I relunctantly left my truck at the dealership today for my 30K service and the car rental place next door set me up with a Chevy Silverado 4X4 CC.... What a POS!!!!!! I can't believe this thing is even mentioned in the same breath as the Titan (or even the F150 for that matter).... I drove an F150 and like the Titan much better but at least the Ford does have some redeeming qualities... This thing is HORRIBLE......
A few of my observations from my day with the Silverado... BTW... it's got 19K miles on it..
-Brakes shake severely... Rotors are obviously shot
-Driver side mirror repetadly vibrates to where it's pointing at the ground after about 10 miles on the freeway
-Gauges, knobs, etc. seem as though they were laid out by Stevie Wonder
-Tranny has huge gaps between gears and is generally very clunky
-Ride is hideous... somehow they have managed to achieve a bouncy stiff ride with horrible 'road' feel... I always thought that was a trade-off.... I dunno how they managed to get both bad qualities
-A/C is decent.... about as strong as the Titan
-Seats are no where near as comfortable and the Titan and I even liked the F150 a tad better (this one can be beat to death.. it's like a pair of jeans... some seats just fit some people better.... to each his own)
-Overall power is not bad but nowhere near the Titan....
I've drove a Dodge and Ford before the Titan and I now know why I didn't bother to drive a Chevy/GMC.... All I can say is if Nissan gets in bed with these fools they better implement some Quality Control.....
