GMC Sierra Denali

RR924, 08/31/2004
2004 GMC Sierra 1500 4dr Extended Cab Denali AWD SB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

I knew I had to get a truck, but I wasn't all that excited about it. We've always had them, but I had always driven a large sedan or SUV. I was amazed at what came standard on the Denali. This truck's standard equipment has all the luxury of the SUV's plus all of the utility of a full-size truck with 325hp, full time 4WD and Quadrasteer. The handling and performance of this truck is better than any other truck I've driven. The Denali is excellent in highway and city traffic as well as being very easy to get into and out of tight spaces. People stop me on the street and in parking lots to talk about this truck, that's never happend to me before.

Impressive ride and handling

I purchased the Sierra Denali two months ago, and am impressed with the power, comfort, and conveniences this truck offers. What has amazed, and completely sold me is the quadrasteer. Living in a large town, I frequently must make sharp turns in confined areas, which this truck handles with ease. I watched a Ford F150 make two attempts to pull out of the bank drive through, and I had no problem whatsoever. It may be a little more expensive than an SLT, but the Sierra Denali is more than worth it. Fantastic ride, amazing power, great looks, and better towing capacity than the standard 1/2 ton.

Only GMC's from here on out...

Awesome truck! I never thought I would purchase a GMC due to the perceived price premium, but I think I got a great deal. Buy near the end of the month and email offers to the dealerships. I got mine for $27600 after $4250 in rebates...total $29006 out the door. Check out carbuyingtips, they have a very good spreadsheet to help you with your offer. I thought about getting the Denali, but for $5k+ more, you get quadrasteer (which I really wanted), 6.0l engine, full time AWD, a different grill and fake wood interior trim....not worth the price difference to me.

ATC updates had to be performed after 5,000 miles to get the transmission working properly. Once fixed, the truck ran great.

Sierre Style, Ride and Quality No.1

It is no wonder the Sierre is the only truck lists the Kiplinger List top 10. Coming from the Toyota 4Runner and Ford F150 crowds, this beats them both for quality, handling, comfort and style. The 2004 Dodge Ram is a vible competitor but too pricey when you do the comparisons of bang for your bucks.

Great Truck. Mileage is improving I am getting 18.8 MPG. The only complaint I have is the brake take more pedal pressure than my old truck.

I previously owned a 2002 F-150 prior to this truck, which was an absolute lemon. Ford did nothing to fix the numerous problems, which led me to switch to GM products again. I can say I am pretty impressed with the truck overall. It has decent power, but lacks a little in the torque department. The body, fit, and finish are excellent. There are no squeaks or rattles. Mileage is about 10% better than the similarly equipped Ford. There are many more amenities in the GMC, including OnStar, and XM radio. I will never buy another vehicle without XM. It is great in remote areas. The truck also runs great, and the transmission shifts smoothly.
