Review

I've had this truck for just about a year, it replaced a 2002 Chevy Silverado. Nimble footed, powerful,well able to keep up with daily work requirements and still feel like you riding in a luxury SUV. Power to spare when towing (we have a 28' power boat) you have to look in the rear view to remind yourself the boat and trailer are still there. Mileage is great hwy/city. thus far very pleased with the choice of GMC.

Favorite Features

Towing power, fuel economy, styling, interior fit/finish/comfort.

Suggested Improvements

Lockable tailgate standard option (purchased dealer option)

Review

My last truck was a 1997 F-150 4wd extended cab and it was the best riding truck that I have ridden in including Chev and GMC and it had 187,000 with NO problems. I purchased thw 2007 1500 Sierra in April 2008 and I could not have made a better decision. This crew cab rides and handles like a sports car, it has the Z71 package which is too firm in some situations but excellent in others. I have recommended this truck to many of my friends who are Ford and Dodge lovers, three have swithed and are very happy.

Favorite Features

Heated wipers, cleans bugs off the windsheild very well, controls, leg room, I am 6'3", comfortable bucket sets, remote start.

Suggested Improvements

The cloth fabric attracts everything, I wish GM had a package wher you could purchase the leather covers for the cloth seats.

Bad vibes in regular cab 8' box

Review

The gas consumption is terrible. 14 mph not driving over 55. The tire monitoring system we can do without it. The split seats are uncomfortable, what was wrong with the bench seat. With the new design there is no room behind the seat for any items. The jack cannot be replaced to its position behind the passenger seat without being a contortionist. The jack is totally inadequate I used it once and was fearful the truck would fall. I found a scissor jack at a thrift to replace the factory jack. The controls for the ac are way to exotic. Don't need auto head lights, I know when it dark, the truck and controls are just too complicated. I am one sorry dude for buying this. I want my 94 GMC back

Favorite Features

Great v eight sound, quiet engine, smooth ride

Suggested Improvements

Make OnStar an option make tire monitoring system on or off get rid of the auto headlamps simplify the radio and ac controls ABS should be optional

Solid truck

Review

Good solid truck. Looks good going down the road drives even better handles well. The leather interior worth every penney. We us it for our buisiness and pull a trailer often. It pulls like there is nothing behind it. It also pulls our RV agian sometimes I forget I have the trailer hooked up strong truck. I wanted the 6.0 but the dealer could not find one that met my other requirements. Smaller engine pulls well but works hard on grades.Cab is so air tight that I have to roll the windows down to close the doors to keep them from rattling.

Favorite Features

Interior, remote start, heated seats

Suggested Improvements

Fix the doors so they don't rattle. Rear seat back needs to fold down. Center consold has gap and papers slide behind it.

No complaints - Great truck

Review

I looked forward to this truck arriving and haven't been disappointed. I like everything about my truck. Size, handling, performance. I am in the process of customizing the truck and there's not a lot I have to do. From four wheeling in the snow to pulling a large trailer to zipping down the highway, this truck's got getup and control. The only complaint I have is that the bottm half of the fuel tank disappears in a hurry, but for a 5.3 it's not all that bad. So far I've only experienced minor adjustments.

Favorite Features

I love the lines on the body of this truck. Everything fits well and symmetrical.

Suggested Improvements

Cloth seats are a lint magnet. Armrest too low.

Seats

Review

This is a great truck. It's just not as much truck as the 2000 Chevy it replaced. I've had to wait to long to be able to get accessories like a cap, cruise control. To replace the radio is way over the top to deal with as all the electric in the dash go through the radio.

Favorite Features

I like the tow manners and the power to make it happen. The gas mileage is good but not as good as the last one with the same engine.

Suggested Improvements

The seats should be able to fold forward to be able to use the room behind the seats. The passenger seat could even fold flat forward to make a small table or work space at least make acces to the space behind the seats.

Review

I have had it for a year and love it. Small annoyances are sound of air leak behind passenger seat, seats do not tilt forward enough to get access to storage, seat material difficult to clean (lint). Really wanted leather but not available in this size. Gas mileage is still 16 mpg, my Yukon (2007) with 5.3 is 18? Go figure!

Review

I previously owned an F150 that had no problems at all. This was my first GM product. When the honeymoon period wore off, it lost its luster. The heater fan quit in the dead of winter, and the transmission needed to be worked on. Both repairs left me with loaner vehicles for a long period of time. Not convienent. I guess my first GM experience hasn't sold on me.

Favorite Features

Comfortable seats and smooth V8.

Suggested Improvements

Better quality control. 6 speed auto.

Review

I purchased this truck new in late of 07 and loved the body style. I have owned Chevrolet trucks before and this is my first GMC truck and I love it. Sad to say a woman ran a red light four months ago and took my bumper and grille off it wasnt bad damage just cosmetic. When the woman hit me at 55mph it felt like I hit a pot hole it, I had to make sure I was hit. This truck took a hit and kept on going the body and frame is so strong and well built, I have it back now and I missed it very much. I have the 4.8 engine and was cautious about the engine since my last truck had a 350 and was a powerhouse but the engine has really been great. This truck is my favorite I plan to keep it a long time.

Favorite Features

The exterior of the the truck is tough looking and gets alot of head turners, i have added spray in bedliner and soon exhaust is upon the way. the suspension is tough and ruff. I love this truck. The radio is good and the headlights are great.

Suggested Improvements

I have cloth interior, lint does stick so that would be something to think about for future models and improve gas mileage.
