I've had plenty of GMC in the bay over the years, and the body and structural complaints on these don't surprise me. 973 on the NHTSA record across 56 model-year entries (2005–2024) is not a fluke. The complaints are spread across the lineup — no single model is doing all the work. That tells you it's an engineering or supplier pattern, not a one-off bad year. 5 fire reports on the federal record — not common in this category but documented and worth weight. Repair exposure averages $1,500, which is meaningful money outside warranty. Across the 439 complaints reporting odometer mileage, the median failure lands at about 66,436 miles. For trucks especially, get under it with a flashlight. Frame rust on rust-belt vehicles tells you everything you need to know about how it was kept.
