Review

I purchased the 2wd crew cab w/ 5.3, SLE1, and 20 inch rims. Extremely pleased with purchase. I've owned all other brands including GMC before and this is the best truck I have ever owned/driven. Debated GMC vs. Toyota for months but went with GMC due to inside/outside looks and GMC mileage better. Toyota has very nice truck but GMC hit the mark w/ this one. The 20 inch rims make the truck as far as looks concerned. Get the remote start, this is my first vehicle with remote start and now I wouldn't by another vehicle without it. I can start truck from inside restaurant and truck is nice and cool inside when I go to put kids in car seats. I'm starting to feel really spoiled in this thing.

Favorite Features

20 inch rims, remote start, quiet ride, crew cab back seats folding up leaving flat floor for carrying stuff. Overall looks of truck. Overall build quality.

Suggested Improvements

A tighter turning radius would be nice but that's just being picky. This truck is awesome.

Best Truck Ever!

Review

This is the best truck I have ever owned! It was between this truck or 2007 Tundra crewmax 5.7, Once I test drove both trucks, there was no questions who the winner was. The power on this truck Is awesome, it has a lot of potential, I have an intake, and a superchip added to the truck, I'm pulling right now about 450 HP. If you can afford to buy this truck, you should have money for gas. Do not complain about gas mileage. 14 mpgcity. 16mpg hwy

Favorite Features

Everything!

I Love My Truck!!

2007 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE2 4dr Extended Cab 4WD 6.5 ft. SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

This is an awesome truck! It is big, nimble, powerful, and gorgeous! Lots of storage space! The extended cab is great - large enough for women, children, dogs, and groceries to ride comfortably. The first week I got the truck, I hauled a packed Audi, a packed bed, and a packed cab with two dogs and a passenger. There is no lack of power or comfort! Although I've only been averaging. I have also been hauling a lot of stuff all the time. It's hard to know what the mpg would be without all the work. Then again, why buy a truck if you aren't putting it to work? The Sierra beat out Chevy because Chevy was too boxy (read ugly) and it beat out Tundra on overall features and handling, hands down!

Favorite Features

Rear sensors, OnStar, XM radio, seat console-tons of storage-some lockable, power, handling, comfort, gas savings (V-8/V-4), driver and car info (oil life and instantaneous mpg's), radio knobs on steering wheel, auto-4wheel drive, trailoring package, comfort package, off-road package, sexy for a truck

Suggested Improvements

Softer seatbelt cloth, better seatbelt configuration (the joint near the top rattles), better speakers, better quality seat materials (even a vacuum cleaner can't pick up the lint - you must use a lint brush; better quality plastic on dash (it rattles too), better gas mileage (16.5 mpg only)

Mileage

Review

Great looking truck. Performs well while towing and rides great. The gas mileage is no where near where GM says. Engines are not going to get 7 to 8 mpg better after they break in. I get 11-13 mpg driving around 65 mph. I love the remote start escpeccialy with the hot weather out here in central CA.

Favorite Features

Remote start. Dual zone a/c. Overall looks. Best on the market in this department.

Suggested Improvements

Really make the truck get close to estimeted mpg. This is hugely misleading to the buyer. I know they are estimates, but cmoe on. I could have made a better guess as to the end of the world.

Review

This is my first truck since my '81 Chevy, which was a base truck. I love everything about this truck, comfort, drivability, interior room, and overall apperance. I have the tow package and really like the added ride height. Although this is just a step up from a 'base' truck, it has everything I want. Nice stero, excellent a/c, excellent visibility, and just plain fun to drive. Still only in the 15 mpg range which I hope will improve. But love the power of the small v-8.

Favorite Features

Power, looks, and overall comfort. Locking differential most likely a better choice than the 4wd. Quality is very high.

Suggested Improvements

I would have loved to get a 5 or 6 speed auto in this price range. Hoping fuel economy will improve.

Review

This is my first pick-up and to be honest, it may be my last because it was built to last a life-time. This has to be the finest GMC that I have ever owned and this quality is a product of general motors' renaissance.

Favorite Features

My favorite features are the satellite radio and the 6.0 ltr. V8 engine.

Suggested Improvements

The truck needs to also have front sensors.

07 SLE 1500

Review

I upgraded from an 03 Chevy 1500 LS. This is a far superior truck, but they took out a few of the minor conveniences like express down passenger window, separate cargo box light control, and overhead storage (not that this truck is short on storage)! The engine is noticeably stronger and smoother, but shift points at low/mid throttle acceleration could be better, or a 5 or 6 speed transmission. Also, my 03 had rear disc brakes and this truck has drums. Haven't towed yet so I can't tell if there is a real difference in stopping power yet. Great for a full size truck with this kind of power. I have always been a Ford guy, but the style and power of this truck is changing my mind!

Favorite Features

Abundant storage, split folding rear seats, dash design, steering wheel stereo controls, remote start, power roll down rear windows, and the stealth gray color (get compliments on it almost weekly)! My combined mileage is 18 MPG. Great for a full size truck with this kind of power.

Suggested Improvements

Bluetooth for hands free phone use. Better interior finish, seems a bit plasticky in a few places. Better transmission, or at least reprogrammed shift points.

Review

The only thing I don't like is fuel mileage. Traded a 2002 in on this one and got a little better mileage. Both had the same engine 4800. This is crew cab and the other one was a ext. cab. Bigger wheels and a little more weight may be part of the mileage problem. Getting about 2 miles per gal. less maybe it will improve with a few more miles.

Favorite Features

Back up assist, or warning and OnStar.

Poor Mileage

Written by: Jim on 07/11/2007

Vehicle

2007 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4dr Extended Cab 6.5 ft. SB (5.3L 8cyl 4A)

Review

Getting 16MPG overall and 10MPG city. All the reviews I read prior to purchase had the truck in the overall 19-22 MPG. Dealer keeps telling me to give it time. This is my third GM truck and never previously experienced such terrible mileage. My 2004 gave me 23 MPG on the highway and 17 in town. Other than the mileage issue it is a tremendous truck. The fuel management system does not work--again dealer tells me to give it time.

Favorite Features

Design and comfort and really good.

Suggested Improvements

Find out why the mileage is so low on some and really good on others. Publish more information on the fuel management and flex fuel system.

Truckillac

Review

Only had this vehicle for a few weeks, but all impressions are great. Always drove Ford F-150's and there is no comparison to this truck. I did a lot of research before purchasing and the GMC rated the highest. This truck is superior in quality, ride and comfort. Have the loaded up SLT with all the options including the 20" wheels. Engine is plenty strong and tranny shifts smooth. My research revealed the GMC is assembled much better than the Chevy. The truck rides like a cadillac as the saying goes. As another rater said of this truck, "Don't waste your time looking at other trucks go to a GMC dealer and purchase the Sierra"! I'll drink to that.

Favorite Features

Sleek interior, tight lines, quality materials, all of the convienences, roomy interior, OnStar, front grille, quiet ride.

Suggested Improvements

Of course gas mileage, but already getting better than my F-150. A nice upgraded sound system like the Audiophile in the Fords
