The 4.3 V6 is kind of a dog but if you are mainly going to drive it and not tow or haul heavy loads they are "adequate". If you do tow with them you just need to plan on it taking more time - they just don't have the power. If you are used to a 1980s early 1990s 350 V8 you may not notice a difference. Back then those things were dogs too.
We have 9 of them (2006-2008) and they average about 17 MPG with guys driving them that don't care at all how hard they are pushing them (we pay the gas). We tend to get 150K to 170K miles on them without putting to much cash in them. Usually a new in tank fuel pump at 80K and brakes all the way around at 100K. We moved up to 4.8 V8s on our newer truck - the guys seem to like them a lot more than the 4.3s with about the same mileage.
