2004 GMC Sierra 1500 4dr Extended Cab SLT 4WD SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I’ve wanted one of these since I was 15 and used to walk to the dealership and gawk at them. I’m 25 now and can finally afford to…well, um…finance one. I’m gad to say I haven’t been disappointed. After all of GM’s rebates their trucks are only slightly more reasonably priced. Good MPG for a large truck. Glad I got the 5.3. Even in an extended cab 4 adults can ride comfortably. Good off road capability. Quiet interior. Leather seats are very hardy. Only complaint is the cheap dash board. Where does GM get all this plastic??? I’ve had my truck 6 months and 8000 mi with no problems. I plan on keeping her till the wheels fall off.

Favorite Features

5.3 liters of power. Tough leather seats. Good rear seat room for an Ext Cab. Good residual value. Electronic transfer case. Dual climate control.

Suggested Improvements

Get rid of all the plastic. Better fuel economy.

Review

The vehicle itself is great. I would stay clear of Midway Nissan/GMC if you want to leave with any dignity. I am still trying to figure out how they added every maint service/Logard/theft gaurd/etc, etc, etc onto my contract without me wanting it. They have given me no follow up communication depite 2 very pointed letters. The GMC Sierra truck however is great. My family loves it this far.

Favorite Features

Better wheels/tires as standard.

Review

ATC updates had to be performed after 5,000 miles to get the transmission working properly. Once fixed, the truck ran great.

Favorite Features

4 doors, leg room, shoulder belt on middle seat, split bench that seats 3 up front. Nice leather. Satellite phone.

Suggested Improvements

Window controls feel a little cheap. Heated seats should be available with the split bench.

GMC Sierra Denali

2004 GMC Sierra 1500 4dr Extended Cab Denali AWD SB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I knew I had to get a truck, but I wasn't all that excited about it. We've always had them, but I had always driven a large sedan or SUV. I was amazed at what came standard on the Denali. This truck's standard equipment has all the luxury of the SUV's plus all of the utility of a full-size truck with 325hp, full time 4WD and Quadrasteer. The handling and performance of this truck is better than any other truck I've driven. The Denali is excellent in highway and city traffic as well as being very easy to get into and out of tight spaces. People stop me on the street and in parking lots to talk about this truck, that's never happend to me before.

Favorite Features

Quadrasteer, Bose sound, XM Radio

Review

I got what may be the last 2WD Quadrasteer in the contry, 700 miles from home, and worth the trip to pick it up. I hear it will be available in 4WD only in 2005. This truck is a dream to drive. It is easier to park in a crowded parking lo than the Ford Ranger I had before. I am still amazed by how tight it will turn. GMC's commercials don't do it justice. The 5.3 liter engine is very powerful, but I still average 19 MPG highway, and just finished our first road trip pulling my 1500 lb boat trailer, we still averaged 17 MPG! The cab is very comfortable for day long drives, spacious and quiet.

Review

Although I have had the truck less than a week, it is really nice. Nice ride, looks great, gas mileage is already improving (should be about 16 mpg for the first tank and should get better). Big enough for the whole family and groceries in the back. It was this truck or a SUV, like the truck much better. Drove the Ford SuperCrew (Nice interior materials!) and the Nissan Titan. They are both nice, but the GMC had $6000 in rebates! That sealed the deal. Real glad I went with the GM!

Favorite Features

Room, room, room! Nice ride.

Suggested Improvements

Already replace the crappy General 255/70/R15 tires with 265/75/R16 BFG's.

Review

Nothing but problems with vehicle. Bad towing capability. Noisy (valve clatter) on cold mornings, sounds like a diesel. Transmision went out at 50000 miles. Front axle bearing went out at 20,000 miles. Enough problems. I'm trading in for anything but a GM product!

Favorite Features

Good mpg 15 city 19 on highway. Comfy. Good looks.

Suggested Improvements

Better rating when it comes to towing capacity.
