Worth knowing

  • Prices stay high, the ride is stiff when empty, and diesel emissions repairs can be costly.

The trim we'd park in our garage

Look for the LT: it adds a larger touchscreen, keyless entry and more convenience features than the WT and Custom, while the Duramax diesel delivers top towing ability.

On the test drive

Check the frame and hitch area for heavy towing wear and verify diesel emissions service. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.

Safety tech

  • Automatic emergency braking: standard from 2024, optional from 2020.
  • Adaptive cruise control: optional from 2024, never standard in this generation.
  • Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.
