Love This Truck

I bought my truck from a friend and at the time he used it to haul a racecar trailer every weekend. I purchased it with 125,000 miles - he said good luck he didn't think it would last much longer (the body and interior were in excellent shape and it mechanically sound). I got it super cheap because of his stupidity. This truck consistently hauls a horse trailer that is too big for it and does a lot of other hard work. It's pushing 240k miles and everything is still original. Of course it gets maintenance regularly and has had some minor issues (EGR valve, blower motor resistor, etc). I'm starting to get a little rust on the body right behind both doors. However, the truck is still solid.

I bought my GMC with 228,000 miles on it, I did have some needed repairs that needed to happen, but it was the most fun, reliable, and just plain great car I've ever owned. Even with the high miles, all original engine, 6" lift and 35" tires, I was still getting great milage, and tons of admiring looks. I'd highly recommend GMC to any buyer.

I love my '95 GMC. I tow a trailer and haul ATVs with it. I help people move. I haul heavy loads of scrap wood out of our cabin property. Then I clean it up and cruise in style and comfort through town, and I get plenty of admiring glances and folks telling me what a beautiful truck I have and how much they loves these old GMCs. I've had no problems with it. I can work on it, it's so simply. Maintenance is a cinch. The interior is comfy and I can haul my whole family. This truck is happiest when just cruising around relaxed. It is pleasant to travel in, or work in. My best mileage yet was 18mpg, or 425 gallons on one tank, and that was pulling a light trailer. Highly recommend a '95 GMC.

I bought this truck with just 6,000 miles on it in 1995. It now has 220,000! Only the expected repairs have been needed over the years such as fuel pump, alternator, radiator, fuel filter, brakes etc. I've taken very good care of it and just this last winter some rust has begun to show up at the bottom of the extended cab part and bottom of right door. I've seen others that have rusted much younger. The seats (wear like iron) and ride are very comfortable with hwy mpg of about 19. Not too bad for 14 yrs. Still, I use it for my business and need something that looks newer. I will miss this truck and would recommend one anytime. (might just give it to my daughter)

daily driver turned show truck

Bought in 96, I just got it for everyday use. The only problem I ever had inside 100K miles was the fuel sender unit shorted out; $700 fix. Outside that, it runs fantastic, sounds great, and as of two years ago, quit seeing duty as a daily driver and began life as my show truck. I tore the engine down at 133K to add more hp, but it was still running great to that point! honestly the best vehicle i have owned (out of 15)

I used this vehicle for work and commuted 500 miles in it every weekend for 5 years. I maintained it by the book and it never gave me any trouble. Replaced an alternator and transmission seal and 4 windshields. Very dependable - 218,000 miles when I sold it.

This is the most reliable truck ever made my GM, maybe I’m a lucky one but I have never had any big problems with it. After 140k it’s still running strong. The turning radius might not be as good as the new ones but she rides like new and runs great. The fuel economy isn’t that great (13mpg) but what a truck.

Best truck I've ever seen and owned.

What an incredable driving experience! The powerful 350, great interior, and body style make this a great pick. Not to mention the dependability, and solid feel of the car. Perfomance exhaust by Flowmaster or Gibson is definately a best buy so you can hear and feel all the car has to offer. Whatever you plan on using this truck for you're gonna love it!

I have owned this truck for just over one year now, and haven't had any problems with it yet. Just put on new tires and dual exhaust. This truck has plenty of power pulling a trailer or anything life throws at you. The only bad thing is that im getting around 11 mpg in town, but that dosent bother me, its a truck after all. I plan to keep it till it dies.
