I bought my 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 about a year and a half ago with approx 130k miles on it and I am now nearing the 200k mile mark. I purchased this truck based on an article about the most reliable vehicles to 200k miles. So far what Edmunds said has been true. I hope by submitting this review I don't jinx myself but my truck has been outstanding so far.

This slt is my third gmc and by far the best one. The 5.3L vortec has plenty of power and the truck is more comfortable than most cars on the road. I lifted it 6" and installed 22" mayhem warrior wheels, cold air intake a moroso chip and chrome exterior accents. People stop me everywhere I go to say how beautiful the truck is. 59k on it and still running the factory battery and brakes. The back door and driver door window switches failed at 53k and 76k. That's the only problem I've had. I recommend this truck to anybody in the market for a full size truck.

I bought this truck 2 years ago with 7,000 miles. It now has 51,000 miles. Been a very comfortable truck, but when it comes to what you need a truck with a v8 for it doesn't work. I run mobile 1 synthetic oil and change every 5,000 miles. Yet when towing a vintage camper (2,600lbs) and a 4x4 4 wheeler in the bed the truck won't pull a hill at 45 without overheating with no more than 2,500 miles on oil change. Also a 3 year old truck I have had to reinstall the door bumper guards since they fell off at 37,000 miles, comfortable truck but the the GMC brand I knew growing up, I'd gladly take my 09 silverado back

Stabilitrak

DON'T BUY!!!!! Yesterday my Stabilitrak light came on as well as my engine light which put my truck into reduced power mode and eventuality killed my motor while I was driving my family home a couple hours away. I honestly hate GM now, I'll never ever buy a death trap GM ever again. Me and my family literally could have been killed because of that stupid sensor. I advise anyone to look into the Stabilitrak systems and which GMs have it before you buy one. I'll never buy one and I'm going to sue GM over this issue for almost having my family killed.

I recently got into a front end collision and it protected me well and the truck will hopefully be rebuildable.

I absolutely like the six speed automatic. This truck came with 3.08 gears which is a big let down for off the line power. Even its the gears and the six speed it still gets no better gas milage than my Previous F150 with 4 speed auto and 3.73 gears..should have kept the F150..
