I am saying goodbye to my 2013 Avalanche, I was the original owner. Its the first time in my life {and im 53 years old} that you will not find a american made truck in my driveway. I am a Auto Mechanic by trade my entire life and just got fed up by the quality of the american car and truck. The final straw on my 80,000 mile totally maintained truck was the fuel pump sending unit rusting out and leaking fuel. I had to change it on the hottest day of the year. It looked like swiss cheese. While doing the job i looked around and noticed the frame covered in rust, brake lines starting to rust, paint starting to bubble on the rear 1/4 panels. I work on cars all day everyday and there is not an american made truck i would buy like the 4runner. I find it unacceptable that my truck looked so poor after only 7 years. It is nice and shiny on the outside but I can see what's coming. On the bright side, we love the toyota 4runner, not the same vehicle at all but our needs have changed. Best of luck, this forum has been great.
