2004 GMC Sierra 1500 4dr Extended Cab 4WD LB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I have always been an avid Ford F-150 kind of guy. But I have to say after driving both GMC 1500 Sierra and the F- 150, I have switched. Most comfortable ride I have ever had in a 4WD vehicle. I also own a 1990 Suburban 4WD with over 150K miles and it still runs strong. Much more room on the interior of the GMC than Ford could muster. Interior design and presentation is great and the sound system with Bose speakers to support it is fantastic. It may be sometime before I venture back to Ford to get my next truck. I tend to hold on to mine for quite awhile.
Favorite Features
Beautiful paint job (dark green), excellent interior comfort and design for both front and rear passengers. Super sound system.
Suggested Improvements
Fuel economy is reasonable for a 4WD extended cab 8' bed truck. I suspect there is always a way to improve power and efficiency without drowning the price tag. Not really a serious issue though.

2004 GMC Sierra 1500 4dr Extended Cab SLE Rwd SB (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I have had the truck for three weeks and put 1000 miles on it. I was pleased with the dealer, the deal and the truck! Receiving $3000 discount off list, from the GMC factory list gave me alot of extra electronics (Bose speakers,Onstar phone, and the cool XM radio)that I probably would not have bought. GMC gave $2500 incentive discount, and the dealer gave his discount. Don't miss out on these extra incentives. This truck handles like no other truck I have driven. My 1994 Chevy was nice, but the new handling, performance, comfort, creature features are the best. Sierra, to me, is the nicest styling that I have found in a 2004 truck. Get one!
Favorite Features
XM Radio, Bose speakers, Onstar phone. Computer for gas mileage, miles per gallon, business and personal mileage are at your finger tips on the steering wheel. The list goes on, I haven't had time to figure it out yet.
Suggested Improvements
The only improvement I see would be needed is gas mileage. At 16.8 MPG. opt for the 3.43 rearend. I got 3.73 with mine. This is the 5.3 motor.

2004 GMC Sierra 1500 4dr Extended Cab Denali AWD SB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This is a very well designed vehicle. It combines a very comfortable, luxurious driving environment with the ability to tow heavy trailers. Since a lot of stuff is included in the standard package, I got more accessories than I might have bought if they were priced separately. I really like Quadrasteer.
Favorite Features
Quadrasteer is fantastic, it really improves the driving experience. I also unexpectly like XM and OnStar. The seats with so many adjustments (especially the sides of the back) are great.
Suggested Improvements
Eliminate the fake wood inside. Would prefer short rather than extended cab. I took off the running boards and tonneau cover. I would rather have a more tasteful grill like the non-Denali models. It should also have a dead- pedal, and the gas tank should be bigger.

2004 GMC Sierra 1500 4dr Extended Cab SLE 4WD SB (4.8L 8cyl 4A)
Review
I spent the past year looking at trucks before deciding on the GMC Sierra. I haven't had it one full day yet, but I can tell you that the wait was well worth it. The truck is comfortable, the ride is solid and quiet. GMC has even managed to eliminate one of the more serious 'knocks' in their 2004 model - the rattling sound that Sierra was infamous for. I have not heard it like I have in previous models I have test driven.
Favorite Features
Gotta love those power retractible mirrors, tne XM satellite radio, overall power and ease of handling.
Suggested Improvements
There is not alot of storage compartment space. The glove box and fold-down armrest are about it, and they are small at that. If GMC solves that, there won't be a truck that can touch the Sierra.
Best tucks on the road

2004 GMC Sierra 1500 4dr Extended Cab SLT 4WD LB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
Review
This is my second one, and both trucks have been great. They will outrun all of the other 2003 factory trucks except for the Ford Lightning and Dakota R/T.
Favorite Features
Locking rear differential. The engine; the 5.3 L is the best on the market for its size.
Suggested Improvements
Maybe even a little more horsepower/torque in 2004, to outrun those new HEMIs, and also the new Fords.
Great
