Review

I have made four trips from Houston TX to the DC area, a trip to the mountains (off-road) in Colarado, as well as my daily commute. This truck rides and drives great with a comfortable cab. The 5.3 liter V8 provides the power I want without losing the MPG of a larger engine. Could it be improved, sure. Probably has in the newer model. I would add storage capacity in-cab, as well as more functionality for cup holders and the like. I consistently get 15 MPG in town, and 20 MPG on the road. Who would not want more? But that's probably as good as any full size truck. Would I buy again? You bet.

Favorite Features

The ride, the quiet cab, as well as the steering wheel controls for the stereo which I never though tI would appreciate.

Suggested Improvements

Cab refinement

Review

Solid truck with no frills but dependable and OK gas mileage for a truck. I have a 2x4 but didn't get stuck in our large snow storm so with good tread depth it isn't too bad. I bought it for work but know I just use it to commute. I am glad I like it because truck/SUV market is in the dumps. At least my truck is a V6 so it gets about 16 city 20 freeway.

Favorite Features

Cost affordable

Suggested Improvements

Needs some more padding in door so that the door speakers don't vibrate.

Review

MY husband bought this truck for me. We have three kids, and it fits everyone comfortably. They are kept busy with the DVD system and separate entertainment system.

Favorite Features

It's hard to name just one, I like the DVD to keep the kids busy, the roominess, so everyone isn't on top of each other. I have more options than a Denali and it cost a lot less.

Suggested Improvements

I wish it offered 18" alloy rims, instead of 17" or 20"s.

Review

I puchased this GMC for the ride. I had a HD 2500 Diesel before. Bad back! I really like this truck, not just for the ride but for all the things it brings to the table. This truck is really loaded, leather,auto wipers, memory seats, adjustable brake/gas peddles, etc. The ride is wonderful! Very comfortable!

Favorite Features

This truck is loaded so a favorite feature is hard to single out. I think the overall vehicle is my best feature.

Suggested Improvements

I am thinking that the mileage should be better. 18 to 19 overall. I'm working on that with the standard hot rod tech. Hope to get in the 20 to 21 MPG

Review

This is a great truck with a comfortable interior and an impressively smooth ride and quiet engine. The Z71 package helps on the bumps. The engine is powerful, sometimes it feels like I'm driving a large sedan with the acceleration and braking.Back seat in extended cab is acceptable. Awesome truck for the price (cheaper than the new styles).

Favorite Features

Smooth, quiet ride. Smooth transmission. Interior with simple, self-explanatory controls. Acceleration. Amazing brakes for a truck

Suggested Improvements

Put a lock on the tailgate, please! Other than that, nice truck.

Are you sure this is an American truck?

Review

There are pros/cons to purchasing the last model year. Pros: Save thousands and all the bugs are worked out. Cons: You don't have the latest (not always the greatest). Thus far, the Sierra has really surprised me. The comfort of this truck is amazing. This is one of the quietest vehicles I have owned. Quieter than my Camry's, Nissan's,and Honda's. And it's a truck?

Favorite Features

Excellent quiet ride. Body styling will last for years to come. Roomy interior. Back seat passengers always make good remarks about the amount of space.

Suggested Improvements

Interior looks outdated. The "Delco" radio is so 90's. Other than that, there is no doubt I will be sick of driving this truck before it will die. This truck is a testament to how far US manufacturers have come.

Review

This is my first GMC and it seems to be a very well built truck. Very spacious interior and inst.panel layed out well. Smooth ride and very quiet. Have not pulled a trailer as yet but power seems to there if needed.

Favorite Features

Lay out of gauges. Driver information center. Auto dimming mirrors. Sound system.

Suggested Improvements

Better in dash storage. The hole left from removing the in dash cup holder is usless. Retractable cup holders. Rear windows that roll down.

Review

The overall quality of this heavily discounted truck is finally approaching the Asian level. Fit is rather OK, but the finish is excellent, both inside and out. Engine is very quiet, smooth, and the power is more than adequate. A/C is superb, and the full compliment of gauges is quite welcomed. EPA shows 16/21 and thus far I'm realizing close to that. Have always had 4WD trucks for useless reasons, and the difference in 2WD ride quality/mileage is astounding. I would recommend opting for the locking rear axle though, as the low end torque placed on the standard axle simply overwhelms the drive tire in certain situations. So far this very handy vehicle is all and more than advertised.

Favorite Features

Extended sun visors, engine hour meter, 17" rims and 245 rubber. Having all the gauges is wonderful feature for many drivers.

Suggested Improvements

Needs at least a 5 spd auto transmission. Recirculating ball steering is too slow, but the new truck will have rack and pinion which will be a vast improvement. The interior materials are just OK, but not bad for a work truck. This too will be addressed in the new truck.

The smooth quiet ride. Roaring engine when needed.

Softer shifting automatic transmission.

Review

We love our new 2007 Sierra Classic . It's a great ride, with a powerful and reasonably efficent V8. The cabin is spacious and comfortable. We especially enjoy the hauling/ towing muscle this truck provides.

Favorite Features

Love the room in the cab, the handling, and the smooth ride the truck provides.

Suggested Improvements

I'd say dress up the interior, but it's a truck and trucks aren't supposed to be pretty!
