When GMC says they're professional grade, they mean it! I've hauled tons and tons with my Sierra and she's performed like none other I've seen. I have a family of six and can take them all on trips.

No mechanical problems. Very quiet ride with the right tires. Plenty of power.

This is the first car I have ever owned. I am quite lucky that I am able to drive something like this. Now as a younger person in the world how else am I supposed to drive this truck. I used to be hard on it.. Hard accelerating, braking, steering, offroading.. The list goes on. Really though, now I take good care of it and the only problem I have had with this truck is the manifold gasket and the drivers' seat. Other than that the fluids are fine between checkups. The truck runs great for me.

Best truck I've ever owned! I only have minor issues with it and was nothing I couldn't fix myself. She was totaled when my husband and son were rear ended by a man playing with his satellite radio!
