Used 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 Consumer Reviews
Best vehicle I've owned
I love this truck. I have the 5.3 liter V8 Sierra 1500 SLT. This truck is almost like a car in comfort and features. For the driver and passenger it's hard to tell that you are in a truck. The engine has power on tap. Almost 2.5 years of ownership and I've had only one small manufacturer warranty item replaced: the gas gauge.
GMC SIERRA
If GM built cars as good as their trucks they would put a lot of people out of business.

2001 Sierra SLT 5.3 V8
This has been a great vehicle; hasn't needed service in the first 25,000 miles & doesn't seem like it will anytime soon. The SLT package gives it a near luxury ride feel, which is unexpected of a pickup. If you want to do yourself a favor, replace the stock stereo. And the stock tires; they are bad on wet pavement.
Looks aren't everything!
SLE Ext Cab, Sportside,5.3, tow, HD suspension. The truck rides like a frikkin' wagon train. Absolutely loathe driving iy. I don't understand how everyone says it rides great. I'm going to put Bilstein's "comfort" shocks and hope it provides a cure. Other than its ride, the truck is great! Nice, comfortable and roomy inside. Looks fantastic! Reliability has not been an issue. Has more shakes and rattles than I prefer. Gas mileage has been consistent around 16mpg. Contemplating a Radix supercharger. Decent power is not enough. I'd recommend buying this truck, but looks alone does not make for lasting love.
Still love it after 9
110000 mi and still original brakes and I tow a 5th wheel. Always serviced at dealer. Driver's seat leather needed replacement - outside edge, otherwise excellent wear and reliability.
