Nice Ride needs a little more refining

I bought this truck in April with 20 miles on the clock. Interior is a major set up from the 04. The touch screen info system takes a little getting use to but is not too complicated. The voice activation software need to be improved, takes several tries before system understands what you want. The setup in the G8 works very well, so GM should have it perfected by now. The WIFI hot spot was ok but not something I would use regular enough to keep. The resolution of the backup camera is good and I like the scaling on the display, keeps things in perspective. The ride is a little on the bouncy side and road noise is minimal. I have the 5.3L engine with trailering package. Power is good but transmission seems slow to shift when in town driving around 30mph. Have not had any service or equipment issues, only 4XXX miles mostly highway miles. My only true peeve is getting in. I did not get the step or rail so even with my 6'.2" frame I have to climb in but getting out is a breeze.

Beautiful truck but I’ve put 2 transmissions in at 4000$+ a pop, at under 220 000 km. Torque converter went both times. Same with a couple others than I know. Not Impressed with the re-man from gm as it only lasted 70 000km after the dealer swapped it.

At first glance truck really grabs your attention ! Then you buy one "MISTAKE" headlight's blew out at 10,000 miles , 16,000 running boards had to replaced peeling like a sunburn , now at 17,000 miles front bumper is loose slid at little to the right inside bolt poked out a dent , chrome on emblems is peeling I can say I never had a problem with dealership "WHY" because they look at truck and say no problem we will replace the defected parts sounds great but what a inconvenience to keep returning to dealership it's been one year with the vehicle once all is fixed time to get a trade in value and go back to Tundra !

Looks good but thats all

2015 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.8 ft. SB (5.3L 8cyl 6A)

$65,000 for a designed 2015 Sierra Denali with 6.2L engine is should hold up longer than 10 months. From day 1 I have told the dealer that something was wrong with the transmission. It does not shift smooth at speed 36/37 and 46/47 mph. It was taken in 3 times and was only programmed once and the problem kept getting worse. Dealer tells me that I should not be pulling trailers with this truck but they talked me into the 6.2L engine because they knew what I had (boat, dump trailer and small tractor which is not pulled regularly). I put in reverse one day and the rear end sounded like it was about to fall out. Driving in first and second gear sounded like metal scrubing. Took to dealer and told them I did not want it back until it was fixed. They finally said I needed a transmission. Duh I told you that a month after it was purchased. After the transmission was installed, it still does not shift smooth; I still hear a whining sound like something is not grounded. If finally took it to another dealer to trade in for a GMC 2500 HD and they said trade in is only $41K. Value dropped $24K in less than a year. WOW. Pros: Looks Good; great take off speed; looks good; entertainment good; looks good; rides good; looks good; good gas mileage; looks good Cons: Transmission sucks (replaced less than 10 months old); parking assist fixed 3 times; whining sound; hard to see over hood; price; resale value

Don't drive at night

Headlights suck. Chime is too loud and can't adjust. For a MSRP of 36K for a base model, I am kicking myself. No power mirrors or door locks even! $36, 000 and no power side mirrors or locks? Really? No Blue tooth. Literally hate driving at night because the headlights are so bad. Dealer said, they are aware, there is a TSB, but no new light bulbs. Only one bulb for Hi/Lo beams. Just.....what a rip off and shame on me for doing it. Kudos' GMC, no wonder you had record sales figures!
