Review

This truck pulled a race car and trailer, every weekend, flawlessly for 6 yrs. We've hit the 280,000 mile mark and still going. Only problem was the gas used when towing. We switched to diesel, but still use the '94 for daily driving.

Favorite Features

Loved the towing package. The looks of the truck were leading the class. No regrets for buying this truck!

Suggested Improvements

Only wish was that the four door extended cab was available for this model year.

Review

I purchased my 1994 GMC truck in 1996 due to my coaching obligations as a High School Teacher. I was a soccer coach for several years and I needed a truck. I have had several full sized trucks in the past but this is the best one I have ever had. Thanks GMC TODD CALHOUN

Favorite Features

DEPENDIBILITY, THIS IS THE MOST DEPENDIBLE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. THE ACTUAL COST OF ANUAL MAINTENANCE IS LESS THAT $200. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR EXPENSISES IN OWNING MY 1500 AND DO NOT PLAN TO SEE ANY.

Suggested Improvements

THE ONLY SUGGESTION I COULD THINK OF IS BETTER LOW END TORQUED. THE 4.3 LITER IS A LITTLE LOW ON LOW END TORQUE. OVER ALL IT IS EXCELLENT!

Review

This is one great truck. Purchasing the truck as a left over in 1994 loaded with everything (350 V8). In this year, buyers did not want leather and this truck sat. Sticker was $24,100 and I paid $20,660. At 10 years old the truck looks and drives like new. Bought the truck with father-in-laws reccomendation. He had every brand of truck over the past 50 years and told me nothing beats the GM truck on overall, long-term performance. He was right. I tow a 28ft travel trailer. If you can find a nice one buy it. They last forever and parts are dirt cheap.

Favorite Features

Power, towing capacity/stability, paint, ride. Tires last 70+k. Brakes last 120K (just replaced them) Believe this when I tow a large trailer. Overall cost of operation. 18 MPG with this truck (rear is 3.08) Transmission smooth shifts

Suggested Improvements

Brake feel is poor but they work fine. Common on all GM's.

daily driver turned show truck

Review

Bought in 96, I just got it for everyday use. The only problem I ever had inside 100K miles was the fuel sender unit shorted out; $700 fix. Outside that, it runs fantastic, sounds great, and as of two years ago, quit seeing duty as a daily driver and began life as my show truck. I tore the engine down at 133K to add more hp, but it was still running great to that point! honestly the best vehicle i have owned (out of 15)

Favorite Features

Availability of aftermarket parts, the purr of the engine when coupled with flowmaster muffler, the hunkered stance when lowered, the dependability, outright style, all around vision, easy to work on with a manual, very rugged and fast!

Suggested Improvements

shoulda moved the radio and tape all to one location, but they fixed that with 95. of course, the radio was the first thing to go, so that wasn't an issue!

Review

What an incredable driving experience! The powerful 350, great interior, and body style make this a great pick. Not to mention the dependability, and solid feel of the car. Perfomance exhaust by Flowmaster or Gibson is definately a best buy so you can hear and feel all the car has to offer. Whatever you plan on using this truck for you're gonna love it!

Favorite Features

Extended Cab, Small Block V8, Good Looks

Suggested Improvements

Stock sound system only accomidates small 4x6 speakers and don't plan on making any u-turns in this car.

Review

I used this vehicle for work and commuted 500 miles in it every weekend for 5 years. I maintained it by the book and it never gave me any trouble. Replaced an alternator and transmission seal and 4 windshields. Very dependable - 218,000 miles when I sold it.

Favorite Features

Powerful V-8

Suggested Improvements

Hooks for hanging clothes were useless - located just behind front seats.

Review

I bought this truck brand new in January of 1994. The sticker price was $25,454. This is the absolute best truck that I have ever owned. It came fully loaded; everything but leather. I installed a K&N FIPK kit to the 350 powerplant and added a Gibson exhaust a couple of months ago. Gibson is the best!! This full size extended cab Z- 71 truck gets 20.86 miles per gallon. I love this truck!! After nearly 128,000 miles, the only major problem has been the air compressor, which was covered by warranty with nearly 200 miles to spare before 36,000!!

Favorite Features

The color (red), the body stle, Z-71 package, and the best small block built to date.

Suggested Improvements

Perhaps a better turning radius. Too bad the extended cabs didn't have doors back then!

Review

This is the most reliable truck ever made my GM, maybe I’m a lucky one but I have never had any big problems with it. After 140k it’s still running strong. The turning radius might not be as good as the new ones but she rides like new and runs great. The fuel economy isn’t that great (13mpg) but what a truck.
