Review

We've driven a 2004 Sierra 2500HD(crew cab)for about 1000 miles. Roomy, excellent fit and finish and performance. I really like the instruments, (XM radio-rocks!) and seat belts. Yes. It's a nice touch to embed the belts into the front seat backs. Gas mileage is average-13.5 mpg here. The instant fuel economy readout helps optimize mpg. We use 88 octaine. GMC convert. Nice Truck!

Favorite Features

XM radio, computerized controls, seat belts, engine power, 4 forward gears plus towing

Suggested Improvements

side step rails, bed liner not standard.

Review

The drive train is very good at this point. The ride is a major disappointment. I don't know why they come with such small tires for this size truck.

Favorite Features

deisel engine & allison tranmission fuel econ is improving and one reason I bought this truck

Suggested Improvements

Give the truck a ride as good as the 250 ford crew cab short wheel base. Improve the size and comfort of the seats. Its being sold as a big truck, make it a big truck!

Great truck, still getting used to the new front end grill( I liked 99-02 best) I previously owned a 2000 z71 sierra slt. Just bought 2004 SLT 2500 crew cab 4x4. They dont include under the hood courtesy light, they eliminated one of the cigarette lighter power input. the 2004 has 6l vortec which is a huge pig compared to 5.3 vortec in my old 2000. the new computer stuff is pretty cool. I am getting on average 10mpg on the 6 liter, I used to get 18- 19 on the 5.3 motor. The first thing to go will be the air cleaner swap with an Air aid or K&N type of element. dramatic horsepower and fuel economy increases should be expected.

Favorite Features

DVD player, 4 doors,

Suggested Improvements

It seems that 2004 GMC's quality has gone down a bit from my previous 2000 year model truck, gone are many things that I thought would be standard in the newer models, RAM air would be great, more fuel ecenomy, huge Fuel economy difference from 2000 5.3 to 2004 6.0
