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.

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.

The Sierra has a comfortable ride with tons of room in the front seat and also in the back. I like the short box. It was just enough for everything I was hauling and kept the vehicle length shorter. The 8 cyl give the Sierra great pick up. However the gas mileage is quite low. I have owned it for three years (48,000 miles) and have not had one problem with it.

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.

Nothing but problems with vehicle. Bad towing capability. Noisy (valve clatter) on cold mornings, sounds like a diesel. Transmision went out at 50000 miles. Front axle bearing went out at 20,000 miles. Enough problems. I'm trading in for anything but a GM product!
