2005 GMC Sierra 3500 4dr Crew Cab SLT 4WD LB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

Review

I have to say my experience with my GMC has been awesome. I have travelled over 17,000 miles since I first got it. It hauls my 42' 5th wheel with no difficulty and my daughter enjoys the DVD system w/the wireless headphones only a little more than I do. Great sound system and entertainment system. Shocks are a little stiff but only when I'm not hauling. I did a lot of comparision shopping and my GMC had the most options for the best price.

Favorite Features

DVD system, CD changer, Bose speakers, Heated leather 8 way adjustable seats, side mirrors that extent electronically to towing mirrors and the 16,700lb towing capacity for the fifth wheel hitch.

Suggested Improvements

Air shocks

2005 GMC Sierra 3500 4dr Extended Cab SLT 4WD LB DRW (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

Review

Ride seems very smooth. Some wind noise through the extended cab doors. Very powerful with the 8.1L V-8

Favorite Features

The 8.1L V-8 & the Allison Transmission. Like the way the Allison downshifts when braking. Building this truck piece by piece on the GMC website

Suggested Improvements

Better quality on exterior body,shows a lot of ripples in bed sides, GM could have more color selections.

Review

i have 4000 miles on gmc3500lly 04 duramax allison crew cab dually, half of the miles is towing ,it gets 12 to 16 mpg, the motor and tranny handles the weight easily ,i have a bw gooseneck hitch to haul a 14000 dump trailor, sometimes going up and down 6% grades, the transmission downshifts automatically,its easy on the brakes when towing ,it dosent ride like a truck and its very quiet for a diesel its fun to drive and get lots of compliments on how the truck looks and when taking people for a ride in it they enjoy it ,i owned a dodge dikota a 2500 silverado and a heavy duty silverado 2500 and a heavy duty 3500 chevy chassis cab with a dump body i like the gmc 3500 the best

Favorite Features

i like the duramax allision combination plenty of power for hauling, the leather seats and all the power accessories, the comfort of the interior of the truck helps eliminate driver fatigue and stress i like the eight foot bed ,the allison tranny downshifts automatically when going down a hill

Suggested Improvements

more storage places to keep things inside the truck the rear of the crew cab gets cluttered up easily and side mirrors that eliminate blind spots and a tailgate latch cover that stays on include more years for onstar service rather than for just one year service that comes with truck
