2004 GMC Sierra 1500 4dr Extended Cab Work Truck Rwd SB (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

Review

This truck is more than worth the money. This truck has performed all of the light duty work that I have needed without any problem. The payload capacity is excellent as well. I highly recommend this truck.

Favorite Features

The towing option for the transmission is my favorite option. It takes the pressure off of the engine when pulling a heavy payload.

Suggested Improvements

If I were to do it again, I would get the 4.8L.

Review

I previously owned a 2002 F-150 prior to this truck, which was an absolute lemon. Ford did nothing to fix the numerous problems, which led me to switch to GM products again. I can say I am pretty impressed with the truck overall. It has decent power, but lacks a little in the torque department. The body, fit, and finish are excellent. There are no squeaks or rattles. Mileage is about 10% better than the similarly equipped Ford. There are many more amenities in the GMC, including OnStar, and XM radio. I will never buy another vehicle without XM. It is great in remote areas. The truck also runs great, and the transmission shifts smoothly.

Favorite Features

Good all-around engine, XM radio, auto climate control

Suggested Improvements

MORE TORQUE!!!! Trucks need power down low, and this is the only area where the 5.3 lacks. The Ford 5.4 has a TON more torque down low, which is about the only thing it has going for it.

Review

Awesome truck! I never thought I would purchase a GMC due to the perceived price premium, but I think I got a great deal. Buy near the end of the month and email offers to the dealerships. I got mine for $27600 after $4250 in rebates...total $29006 out the door. Check out carbuyingtips, they have a very good spreadsheet to help you with your offer. I thought about getting the Denali, but for $5k+ more, you get quadrasteer (which I really wanted), 6.0l engine, full time AWD, a different grill and fake wood interior trim....not worth the price difference to me.

Favorite Features

Pretty much everything...XM radio, Onstar, leather seats, power everything, driver information center, steering wheel controls, auto climate control, auto headlights, braking is terrific, and engine has plenty of power.

Suggested Improvements

More storage room in center console and overhead. A little better fuel economy. Get rid of the suicide doors on the extended cab. All in all, a great truck without any major gripes.

Sierra Upgrade

Written by: Schodack Bassman on 04/21/2004

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

Review

Upgraded from a 01 Z71 SLE to the 04 Z71 SLT. I like a lot about the new one. The leather, adjustable seats, sound system, XM, looks, HVAC, dimming outside mirror, heated mirrors (live in upstate NY). What I miss-inside storage my 01 had, the overhead console, the extended chrome accent on the side, the red gmc on the wheels. Some short cuts were taken I think. The last thing is the wind blows this one around while the 01 was rock solid. Different front maybe? I still love the truck and would buy no other make.

Favorite Features

Looks, inside comforts and features, XM, power, sound system. It turns heads. Did I mention looks?

Suggested Improvements

Handling in the wind, better tires, restore inside storage compartments in console & overhead. Old "one pull high beam", hate the ones that stay forward!

Review

i said i would never buy another truck from gm since my 87 but there made a little better now and it helps with the frame being painted, you buy the vehicle new with a rusted frame and rear axel,an improvement.but overall i like the truck except for the sloppy drive-train and slow shifting tran-ny. anyone else notice the clunking in the drivetrain?

Favorite Features

extra doors for the kids.
