I wish they had kept it unique, and not like every other GMT truck. In 2002 there simply was nothing like it, with an aggressive hood/fender/grill design, not found on other trucks. Over time you grow to appreciate just how much abuse all that plastic can really take and it protected the doors/sides from a lot of 'incidental' ding damage.
Then it morphed into just another GMT platform. Damn accountants @ GM.
It's why i still own this one, and never considered a trade to newer years honestly.
