I will replace this truck with one just like it. The reliability is outstanding and have not had any issues. Only service has been scheduled maintenance and replaced tires at 61,000 miles. Truck looks great, rides great and on straight highway driving have attained MPG of 24 has been my best.

I purchased my new truck September 2013. I made the mistake of paying for the heated/cooled seat option. Big mistake. In cooling mode hot air blows on rear seat passengers. I was told after a few miles the air will cool off.top. The hot air still blows hot after 75 miles. Since I usually have a person in the back seat that is a waste of money. Also after 75-100 miles it feels like I am sitting on a fist sized rock. Guess what, the dealer reps got in and out of the truck and stated they could not duplicate my complaint. GMC service rep got involved after reading my complaint and I was able to get the seat fixed. I now have 52,335 miles and the seat is much more comfortable. Still unable to use the seat cooling with rear seat passengers. And, the rear seat ventilation duct outlet that is under the driver and front passenger seat has very little air going to the rear seat passengers. I would like to see the same type of rear seat ventilation that my 2003 Chevrolet pickup had. Ducted outlets at rear of console to enhance the comfort of rear seat passengers. Initially I got 21.5 to 22.5 mpg at 68mph. Whick was why I boutght the truck. After a recall I now get 18 if lucky.

My 2014 GMC Sierra has never good mileage. Yes--it's 4 wd and the 5200 motor but the door sticker claimed it would get much better. Well , I have 17000 miles on the truck now and updating my review. The gas mileage is still very poor with about 15-17 highway and 10-11 around town. The thing I hate worst is the seats for they are way too low with no adjustment to go up. Also, hate the location of the window crank handles for they are too low and hard to reach. Yea--I know--crank windows but this is a work truck but has some great options like 4x4, 5200 motor, ac. great radio and nice chrome wheels. Over all a good truck for the money but come on GMC--be fair on the window sticker on the gas mileage!

Have had my 2014 Sierra 1500 Z71 4WD for little over 4 years now. Overall great experience but some set backs. First, exterior styling is awesome, mechanical wise the transmission and engine both run strong, locking rear differential does its job. MPG not bad for power/weight ratio. Major problem I had was driver-side (LH) rear axle seal went bad/leaked with just 9,500 miles on it. My owning experience was further dampened by at least 10 recalls from GM-I understand about small glitches but it left a bad impression. I don't believe that GMC is "professional grade," maybe the premium the customer paid for the brand pro grade-premium. No doubt better quality for American vehicle these days. I do give GM credit for making the truck that holds up to ordinary/average daily use. Daily use of hauling kids and sports gear(s) and moving mulch for d.i.y. house work. As to Apr 2018, I've had the Sierra for 99,645 miles, transmission fluids were changed at 65,000 miles and next change will be at 110,000. I've never had a problem with the auto transmission, it runs strong with smooth/crisp shift points, I've driven the vehicle from central U.S. to West Coast and back. Engine is also strong on the vehicle, I change the oil on avg every 4,500 or 5,000 miles OR every 3 months.
