Buy a extended warranty if you buy a GMC Transmission out at 123,000 miles...
Looks so good but just so awful

This is my third 14/15 with the first two being lemons. Well it looks like ill be able to make lemonade pretty soon. The quality of these trucks as awful. My truck has 7000 miles now and is on its second transmission and second rear end. The transmission blew at 6500 miles. The rear end went at 7000 miles. The vibrations from the truck are horrid for a truck that stickers at $62,000. Aside from all the driving issues with the truck, unfortunately the list goes on. The GMC IntellaLink is a joke. It doesn't understand basic Bluetooth commands such as a persons name. It will not understand street names for the nav. Its basically useless. The collision warning is downright dangerous, if you are driving on a slight incline, and it picks up a shadow (like from going under a bridge or something) it activates and tells you are going to crash. Now imagine it that activated the brakes??!!! You would crash or at least be rear ended. On the exterior lets start with the lights, you literally can not see at night and if its raining, forget it you have a better shot of hitting the lottery than seeing what's in front of you. Poor panel fit on the front bumpers expose the locking tabs. The plastic skid plate vibrates when you shut the doors making the truck feel cheap. This review is not to blast GM and is not a rant, its for you the consumer. These trucks are awful to drive. I don't ever look forward to driving this truck having the fear that its going to break down in the back of my mind. This truck has the 8 speed transmission and the 6.2L and its quick but the downside of the transmission and general driveline whiplash and vibrations take away from the fun of having 420HP pretty quick. They make trucks for a nickel now (in Mexico) and have the walnuts to ask you for upwards of $60,000 for the "high end" truck... get out of town GM with this garbage. You should be embarrassed with this product you put out knowing of all the problems. The general public should not be your beta testing group. Last thing I will say to you the consumer, go onto any forum GMC/Chevy and type in "problems" and you will get a 50+ page list of issues. Good Luck After now 27000 miles the truck is undrivable. Gm won't fix the truck. The transmission slips in all gears and the rear end bangs so hard when it shifts it actually activates the traction control. This is by far the worst truck I have ever owned. Gm does nothing to make it right and blames the consumer for being "uneducated" on newer vehicles. I can't tow my snowmobiles with any confidence with this truck. If you use this truck for "truck" things, or any performance at all, this is not the truck for you.

Reading all of the reviews made me want to post one. Specifically in response to someone who obviously had a really negative experience with this truck and wanted the warn the consumer. Well I want to do the opposite. I drive a crew cab SLT with the 5.8L V8 4WD as a daily commuter in VT. We get the hot weather and the coldest of the cold. I log a min of 50 miles a day. I'm incredibly pragmatic and evaluated every truck, cost/quality/ride etc... I ended slightly blowing my budget for this selection. It's not a Denali but essentially in name only (and maybe magnetic suspension). Otherwise I have every bell and whistle, 20 Inch luxury rims, folding mirrors, hot/cold seats, premium leather, wide running boards and more. To put it simply this is the best vehicle I've ever owned and don't know that I could ask for more. Now I will admit I'm relatively young, 32, so perhaps the advanced controls come really easy to me, but I find everything to be intuitive. My favorite feature is the ability to call up Siri in 2 seconds and direct her to do my bidding. I've asked for songs to be played that I don't own but it's found on apple radio in 3 seconds. The feature I did shut off almost immediately was the lane departure assist. Either I cross the lines all of the time or the roads here are narrow but my rear end was vibrating worse than a stripper riding the sibian on the Howard Stern channel. Aside from absurd comfort, phenomenal amenities and an awesome look the gas mileage for an engine of this size is nuts. I'm getting an avg. of 20 MPG, my old V6 BMW barely got that but now I can tow a boat if I feel the need. Addressing some common issues I will say that I've noticed the weird shifting at certain speeds. It is disconcerting but it happens very rarely to me. The other concern is the headlights, with everything on I don't have an issue but I can see how it's a bit dim. To be honest slightly shocked it's not a higher quality bulb considering the money put into the headlights on these new rigs. I'll post again if issues arise but I can say that if you can afford it and want a truck, you won't find a more luxurious option. **The folding back seat in the crew cab is game changing. Full size dog bed, tires, golf and even seat down packed with people it works great!

Love it - ( Of course) - All good except: Engine idles very loud in my opinion. Dealer says it is normal ( really?)- I traded in a 2007 SLE i used to leave running all the time because it was so quiet. Explanation is new technology with fuel injection system - Hate te noise from outside the truck - never hear it from inside. Everything is super, and I am still getting used to it but Navigation is a bear to use - does not understand my voice - easier to use Waiz on my phone. Stereo sounds nice but again a bear to understand. I will review again in six months - only have had 5 weeks. Dealer ok - not great -- got the feeling they wanted to dump this truck ( after I bought it of course).

I have owned numerous fords over the past 20 years and have always had a problem with them, motor leaking oil, rear end clutches, third brake light leaks water into cab,i can go on and on. this is the first GMC i have owned and really think that GMC has done their homework, i like the style inside and out, the ride is excellent with the 6 inch longer wheelbase or 6.6 bed, tows my 22' bass boat like its not even there, and has interior features you wont find on high end vehicles, purchased it at the end of the year and received some good incentives, warranty is great and comes standard other manufacturers give it to you as a purchasing factor, love the onstar, wifi, and navigation, all of it is very easy to use, right at 2000 miles after three months.
