Riiiight.... Just because it's not your reality doesn't mean it isn't reality. I received and responded to the consumer reports survey in early 2006, which i found odd because I only had the car in question for a few weeks. Furthermore, surveys like the one Consumer Reports sends out have a lack of credibility. They could suffer from one or more of the following issues: Inadequate response options, rating level inconsistencies, assuming prior knowledge or understanding, leading questions, ambiguous or unintelligible questioning, excessive open-ended questions, or lengthy surveys. The best means to rank a vehicle is long term testing. This is why many publications, such as MotorTrend; Automobile Magazine; The Fast Lane Truck; etc buy vehicles as long term testers and report on them. TFL just completed a 1-year ownership of the Silverado Trail Boss LT with the 5.3 and they had zero issues. They called it "bullet proof", whereas their prior long term test truck, a Ram Rebel, had a couple issues. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
