We bought this truck with traveling in mind. Haven't retired yet, but we drive the truck every day and also driven it during vacations. Its equipped with a vortec 5.3L engine; in our opinion one of the best; along with many ammenities. We've driven it for 5 yrs and it's reliability is second to none. The cruise control is simple to use and the large bucket seats are comfortable. Also like the tilt steering wheel.
I will cry the day I sell it

5.3L V8 is a damn powerful engine! More so with a few aftermarket goodies. We absolutely love this truck, chose it for being much sexier than Chevy counterpart. I am a street truck enthusiast, and appreciate that the aftermarket is chock full of parts/accessories for my truck/engine. I only marked down on comfort b/c you can find a roomier back seat in a smaller truck (Dodge Dakota Quad Cab). We have two kids in car seats and I am a six-footer, so the back is getting pretty cramped. Also I thought the SLE should have fancier "upgraded" materials in the interior. Fuel economy is not great, but better than you'd expect from an engine that size - a little maintenance goes a long way in this truck.

I have a 2001 GMC Sierra SLE extended cab short bed two wheel drive and I opted for the 5.3 l V8 I do not tow anything with my truck have owned it for about 7 years now. Unfortunately I have had some things go wrong with it first thing I needed to replace was all four shocks second repair was all the hubs on the entire truck The hub / wheel bearings I did all four of them new sway bar links and bushings new inner and outer tie rods. All of them, new battery all new belts tensioner tune up plugs wires rear differential cleaning and new faceplate and bolts. Overall I invested $7,500 into this truck this is the first major repairs that I've ever had to put into it out of the 7 years that I've owned it I'm a little upset with how much it cost but boy it rides like a new truck and I'm very satisfied with this truck it's never let me down. The truck still started and brought me to point a to point b it just needed work they don't build them like they used to five star on this truck once you fix them they stay fixed for a long time so if you can find one in good shape snag it. Especially if you're looking for a very dependable pickup truck that will last you years before you have to put anything really into it I would definitely recommend this truck the model year 99 to 2004 in between those years are the best GMC Chevy trucks that they've ever made in my opinion true pushrod engines are the most reliable V8 or any pushrod engine in but in particular the pushrod V8 vortec. Chevy like a Rock. What happen to you GM very sad after 2004 there quality started going downhill not that bad at first but by late 2012 2013 Chevy started getting complaints with everything and now they're 2021 Chevy Silverado is the most unreliable truck on the road consumer reports that is absolutely sad general motors stop building your damn vehicles in Mexico they aren't tightening the rear ends up to the right specification they're obviously doing stuff wrong. I went to a Chevy dealership and that's all I hear from other people is Chevy Silverado suck the 1500 models they break down the transmission blow the engines blow the rear ends go out anything 2019 or above has issues with that type of problem. General motors is a great company they just have to step their game up a little bit.
