My GMC pickup, a 1995, had 160K miles on it when I sold it, cheap, to a
nephew. That was almost two years ago. He's running the daylights out of
it, but he keeps it greased and oiled. It's still running very well.

My wife had a Jimmy (Blazer). With 80K on it, it needed a new transmission
and a few other big bill repairs. We got rid of it, and got her a
Highlander. She absolutely loved the Jimmy, but we wouldn't get another
one.

There ya go. If GM put a lasting trans in it, or fixed it gratis when
it broke so soon, they could have sold you another Jimmy.
Besides that, if you like that Highlander, you might stay with them
for all your vehicles.
Who knows how many sales they lost.

You'e absolutely right. After the Highlander, I bought a 4Runner. I've been
pleased with the Toyota products I have. Unless something big happens, I'll
probably not go back to GMC.
