Pros: ride, seats, comfort, fuel mileage, reliability,
Cons: wish I had a white one instead of silver
The Bottom Line: This is a great truck. I am Amazed that it is no longer in production. I dream of a new one in that cranberry red color.

| oklalaw's Full Review: 2004 GMC Envoy XUV |
**UPDATE** At 125000 miles I have had to spend $650 on the rear suspension (airbags). Other than that, it is still trouble-free. It rides great, runs great, is handy (multiple configurations) and has been a testament to GM, a car maker that I do Not love in general. Knowing what I know, I would buy another one tomorrow.
I have the 04 XUV with the SLT package, 4wd and leather interior.
This thing rides and drives as nice as a cadillac. It handles the snow and ice like a dream, the 4wheel drive is easy to operate. I get 18.4 miles per gallon in the mixed highway - city driving. Nothing breaks on this thing, reliability is exceptional! I would only advise that you add some back-up sensing device due to the blind spot in back. My wife took off the bumper for some unsuspecting girl at a stop sign because the little car was fully below her line of sight. I love this truck. I am not easy to impress. My prior truck was a Toyota Tundra, and this one is better in every way, including economy. The rear roof opening is convenient for hauling your tall items. You can also lay the back seats down and haul a full sheet of plywood or sheetrock. I love being able to raise the center window to seal off the back compartment as that reduces sound, odors, etc. I wish that I could play a CD at the same time I am using the navigation system, but that is not possible.
