Used 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 Consumer Reviews
Best Overall Truck I've Owned
2012 GMC Sierra SLT Crew Cab 4x4 6.2L: Easily one of the best all-around trucks I have ever owned. This truck does everything well with ease. Whether I ask it to push through 2 feet of Michigan snow getting to work or pulling my 8,000 fun mover it never has any issues. Anyone looking for a reliable, hard-working, and downright fast truck, the 6.2L with the 3.73 rear axle (available on the max trailering package) offered in both the Sierra and Silverado is a must. 403hp 417ft/lbs going through the buttery smooth 6-speed from GM rivals most engines put in trucks today. the only downside I have found since owning (101k miles on the clock, 35k in my ownership) is h fuel economy. These particular trucks are rated at 12/18 and get just about that running premium, which can definitely break the bank. Running E85 will save upwards of $.75 a gallon but will drop your highway economy into the low teens. Overall, fantastic truck coming from someone who has owned a 2015 Silverado 5.3L and Avalance 2500 8.1L.
