Used 1995 GMC Sierra 1500 Consumer Reviews
Truck that could
This is one great truck. Purchasing the truck as a left over in 1994 loaded with everything (350 V8). In this year, buyers did not want leather and this truck sat. Sticker was $24,100 and I paid $20,660. At 10 years old the truck looks and drives like new. Bought the truck with father-in-laws reccomendation. He had every brand of truck over the past 50 years and told me nothing beats the GM truck on overall, long-term performance. He was right. I tow a 28ft travel trailer. If you can find a nice one buy it. They last forever and parts are dirt cheap.
1994 GMC GOOD TRUCK
I purchased my 1994 GMC truck in 1996 due to my coaching obligations as a High School Teacher. I was a soccer coach for several years and I needed a truck. I have had several full sized trucks in the past but this is the best one I have ever had. Thanks GMC TODD CALHOUN

Excellent
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.
6.5 Turbo Diesel
If you happen to come across a 95 GMC 1500 6.5TD, you need to include it in your family photos. This is one you'll never forget. From the GM-8 Borg Warner turbo, to the 4.11 limited slip rear w/ locking front differential - this is the vehicle you drive over the Porsche or Camaro if you're late. I've had mine for 5 years. It has rust but mostly the chips fall on PowerStroke 6.0/6.4/7.3 or whatever else they haven't kept up with well over a decade later. Live in an area with protests? Slap a grill on the front and once they hear the deafening lifters dancing to the 24:1 compression, people will run.

Owner 23 of 26 years and this thing is bulletproof
My dad originally bought this truck when I was almost 12, we took on every sports trip for years and years, and I've been driving it since I was in high school. Now over 230k miles, still on the original engine (5.7L), tranny (Automatic), and transfer case. I've had to replace the A/C system, a radiator, water pump, and wear parts. The astounding thing is this truck is not my daily driver, sometimes it will sit for weeks or months, cold weather even, and I turn the key and it starts right up every time. There is no way I would ever trade this for a new truck, this thing is perfect. I've had to do a lot of winter driving, I've driven AWD Audis, Volvos, and every 4WD American truck and this is the best vehicle I've ever driven in the snow. My favorite part is it will let you fishtail as much as you want and then if you really punch it, it will straighten right out. I will eventually spend the money to fix all the cosmetic issues (no real rust, just the paint is flaking and has some dents) and I will gladly spend whatever money necessary to keep it mechanically sound. I love this truck more than just about anything.

My GMC
I have had this vehicle since my father passed away. He bought it brand new and I received it after that. It is in excellent conditon with a camper shell. Top to bottom excellent shape, I keep it up to date on oil changes and routine maintenance.
Reliable workhorse
Reliable and comfortable. I am original owner, maintenance costs have been reasonable. Gas mileage not the best. Spare tire location not convenient, cable rusted off and tire disappeared.

Served well. A shortcoming: the fire wall developed a fissure, allowing water to leak into the front passenger floor.
