2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Review

Price Estimate: $28,866 - $61,995

GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 Crew Cab Pickup Exterior

The GMC Sierra stands out with its helpful technology and all-around utility. We also like its available 6.2-liter V8 and rugged off-road upgrades. Better value can be had elsewhere for a light-duty pickup, but the Sierra is certainly the best interpretation of the GM family of trucks.

Transmission nightmare

Scott W, 03/25/2023

2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali 4dr Crew Cab 5.8 ft. SB (5.3L 8cyl 10A)

We purchased a 2023 GMC Sierra Denali recently and have been experiencing a shudder and shaking when driving since day one. We took it to the dealer to have it checked out. The service manager acknowledged the shudder and told us that it was in an acceptable range and that GMC has bad transmissions. When talking with the sales staff and sales manager, they also indicated that many people …

2023 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 6.6 ft. SB (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 10A)

The fit and finish is good, fuel mileage is good, but had DEF sensor failure within the first week of ownership, towed to dealer. Two days ago left stranded in the bush, with full shut down while driving and no restart, the truck has 3000 kms on it. Had to hike out 10 kms to get signal to get a pick up. Will be without a truck again. Complete bullsh*t that a brand new truck has full …

Why has GM become so cheap.

2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.8 ft. SB (5.3L 8cyl 10A)

I just recently bought a 2023 GMC Sierra. I have driven GM vehicles all of my life and this is actually the third new truck I've bought since 2018 and several before that. I have always liked them and was always happy with the way that GM did business until now. To my surprise they don't include an Owners manual or maintenance manual with a truck that you paid $63,000 for. As I contacted …

2023 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 6.6 ft. SB (5.3L 8cyl 10A)

As a former RAM owner (since 1991) I would like to offer the following comparisons. The GMC has a better feel when driving. The RAM with Hemi has more horsepower but the GMC is no slouch with the 5.3 engine. The GMC SLT trim looks to be more luxurious than the RAM Laramie trim. Gas mileage is slightly better on the GMC. So far I am well pleased with the GMC.
