I am looking at buying a new one and really like the ride quality vs. my 2001, I really think this is a superior truck to the old one.

Much better power, brakes, stereo, seats and killer add ons (backup cam, navigation, DVD, sun roof).

These are probably not going to be anywhere near as good off-road, the plastic bumper and goof running boards would soon be decorating the first 1/4 mile of trail you were on. The tahoes had the same problem (not running boards).
