Used 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 Consumer Reviews
Long term Update
I wrote the review "looks good, drives poor" Here an update with 4000 miles. The truck has continued to be a disappointment. I had to replace bolt rear shocks due to leaks. The drives seat broke, twice. I'm not a huge guy about 160 lbs and the seat keeps breaking. Drivability of this truck is poor, shifts are still very questionable both upshifts and down shifts. On a recent 650 mile highway drive, the truck shifted quite a bit on cruse at 74 mph. Average mpg on trip 17.3 Awful. MPG has declined and I average about 14.8. Compared to my 07 5.3 Silverado its about 3 mpg less. Maybe I got a bad one, but how many bad ones are out
Great Truck - Can't see @ Night
The headlights just don't throw the light far enough down the road on dim and brightness is marginal. High beams are OK at best, about what the dims should be. The side illumination when turning a corner is pretty much non-existent. The rest of the truck is great, comfort, ride, handling performance, etc . The MPG is really great for a truck, keeping it @ 70 or less, I can knock down 23-24 on the highway!

third truck purchase
bought new at the springfield, vt. gmc dealership. am very happy with it. initially, I was getting a rattling noise in the muffler/driveshaft area. gmc dealer found it was a loose baffle in the muffler. after exhaust system replacement, the sound is gone and has not returned. I get good mileage. has better options than my last new truck(Silverado). Headlights were insufficient at night when new. Gmc had a service bulletin on this issue. They replaced the bulbs(n/c) . Have been fine since. Had a rhino liner sprayed in. Great investment. Recommend keeping tailgate locked at all times. Periodic rash of theft in the area. Very easy to unhinge and disappear. I currently have 10k for mileage. Although i bought the truck in Vermont..i have a local GMC dealer take care of inspections,oil changes,etc. would i buy another GMC ? Absolutely!! Tried to select the year (2014) but drop down menu will not allow.

REALLY!!! DONT DO IT. DEALERS TRYING TO GET RID OF OR SOMETHING!!!!!!!!CRAP!!!!!!!!
This is a beautiful looking truck that everyone stops and stairs. The 50 thousand price tag for a truck that is already rusting at 25k miles and has had the radiator replaced at 11k miles, several recalls, etc. Not worth the money. Stick to the oldie but goodies. Again she is a looker till you look underneath. Don't do it and if you already did such as myself, get rid of it while you can!
4.3l crew cab SLE Update
Was forced to make GM repurchase under Lemon Law. Had an issue with snow entering the heat ducting causing ice to build up on blower. After multiple service calls dealership decided they could not fix it and told me there was nothing they could do. Living in Michigan made the truck almost impossible to drive in the winter. GM also was no help. Customer solutions person managing my case would not return my calls. In the end forced to sue. Very disappointed. No apologies or any effort from GO to rectify the situation. Have been driving for almost two months now and am a little underwhelmed. Its a smooth ride and the road noise is much improved over my 2007 Silverado but the 4.3 just doesn't seem to be enough for this truck. The mpg on the highway have been about 20 which is ok but the city mpg so far has been in the 9-11 mpg range which is very unsettling considering GMs mpg claims.
