My work truck is an '03 GMC 1500 2wd 4.8L auto short bed, ext cab with 644,000 kms (400,000 miles) and is stone cold reliable. Tires\brakes once a year and thats about it. One orignal GM u-joint made it to 530,000 km's before needing replacement.
I've been offered new 4wd Chev\GMC's as replacements, but after seeing the sales guys repair bills at 40,000 k's, I'm not risking a change.
I get 600+ k's to a tank of fuel on the hwy at 125-127 km/h, set on cruise religiously.

I don't put more then 2500 km a year on my personal truck and it seems everytime I turn around I'm replacing the brakes and front wheel bearings.
