“The vehicle is 16 years old. It currently has 201,352 miles. The body is starting to rust over the rear tire and the frame is really rusted. Driver power window switch went out and rolled itself down and cant get it to go up at all. Really love the truck but GM could have built it to last longer..my 1974 gmc is in better shape than this truck is and its nearing 40 years old.”
