My neighbor has one, and loves it, and I've noticed they seem to go pretty cheap compared to other stuff I'm looking at. It is somewhat larger than I want, but at least it's not Tahoe/Suburban-sized.
My brother has one with the 4.2. It's just turned over 200k miles, has had a rear axle go, the trans has been rebuilt and he just put a junkyard engine in it too. I'm not impressed. Oh yeah, the CEL has been his constant companion since shortly after the emissions warranty expired. That's the only thing that has worked right.
