The lifespan of a 2003 GMC Envoy greatly depends on how well it is maintained. With proper care, it can endure anywhere from 150,000 to over 400,000 miles. Neglecting maintenance may result in a lifespan of around 75,000 to 100,000 miles. To ensure the longevity of your Envoy, it is essential to adhere to the recommended maintenance schedule outlined in the owner's manual. Regular oil and oil filter changes are crucial to keep the engine in good condition. Additionally, don't forget to change other fluids like coolant and transmission, as well as replace filters and spark plugs as needed.

    My 2003 GMC Envoy has just hit 350,000 miles, and the only major repair I couldn't do was replacing the transmission, which failed at 175,000 miles. Despite that, the car is still running well.

    My 2003 GMC Envoy has racked up an impressive 347,500 miles, and I'm confident it can surpass the 400,000-mile mark. I bought it brand new on February 4, 2003. I stick to an oil change schedule of every 8,000 miles, making sure the level never drops more than a quarter inch on the dipstick. I use QUAKER STATE 5W-30 oil for maintenance. The transmission was rebuilt at 300,000 miles, and the transfer case was fixed at 322,000 miles. The water pump failed at 244,000 miles, while the heater register needed replacement at 280,000 miles. The rear air bags gave out at 210,000 miles. I've invested $4675 in repairs since the vehicle was new, which I find reasonable compared to the cost of a new SUV. As long as I continue to address repairs, I believe this SUV will keep running smoothly. I have a strong fondness for this vehicle. - R Stock

    My 2003 GMC Envoy has more than 160,000 miles on it. I make sure to change the oil regularly, and it's running smoothly. I had to replace two coils, but that only cost a couple hundred dollars. I purchased it used three years ago from an acquaintance for $2,000 when it had 130,000 miles. I'm hoping to reach 300,000 miles with it as it's still going strong.

    I'm planning to install a 76mm turbo on my car, which currently has 260,000 miles on it. If it ends up failing, it will go out in a spectacular manner!

    My 2003 Envoy has hit 317,000 miles. Recently, it has been showing signs of potential engine stalling when I come to a stop. I have scheduled a maintenance check in a couple of days, hoping that I will be able to squeeze out another 10,000 to 20,000 miles from it!

    My 2004 GMC truck has racked up 299,000 miles. The engine is still in good shape, but there are some minor issues with worn-out parts or things that aren't working anymore. Despite those issues, she still runs like a champ.

    My car has had no issues with its engine or transmission, but the fancy additional features like power mirrors, a powered driver's seat, and power windows have caused me problems. Due to these various issues, I am not planning to purchase another GM vehicle. I recently bought my wife a used Hyundai and we'll have to see how reliable it is. By the way, my car is still using its original shocks and paint.
