I've got an 07 LTZ Avy with the 6.0 and I love it. I'm about to turn 70k miles and it's still fun every time I drive it. I've never had a daily driver this long, I usually get the bug for something else after 2 years or so. I've towed Pontiacs from Jersey to Ohio, Kentucky, and Virgina a few times and it does very well. With the GMT900 platform, it's much more like a big car than a truck. I'm only averaging around 12mpg but I've got a heavy foot and the truck has lots of mods. Only mechanical problem I had was a bad starter that fragged the flexplate, fixed under the 100k powertrain warranty. I would not hesitate to buy another, especially now that they have the 6sp auto tranny, but sadly no more 6.0.
