Great truck as far as features but mechanically, I agree with some of the reviews. Transmissions horrible it shifts hard on 1st to 2nd gear, had to replace the a/c condenser which was not cheap had to pay to refill just to see where the leak is at then once leak was found then had to pay to replace and refill with Freon and now my fuel pump check engine light is on as well which is not cheap at all ….. Gm could’ve done a better job and far as reliability. Wish they would own up to they’re mistakes on these transmissions and trucks

Love the truck but hate the costly repairs

My favorite truck I have owned but does have some drawbacks. First, if you can’t jump a curb without popping a tire and bending a rim, then 22” rims don’t belong on a truck. The $2k to replace the magna ride shocks made me a little upset because you have to replace both front at same time and the regular shocks were $70. However, the ride quality is superb and handling when towing is excellent. Second, at 125000 miles I had to replace rods and lifters over $6k. That being said I have enjoyed the powerful 6.2 v8 a lot and getting 22mpg on the highway is nice. The 8 speed transmission has been kinda rough and clanks into gear sometimes even since it was new but it’s still going strong at 135k mi. Wish the gps and apple play would connect without a cord because sometimes it won’t work but cleaning or replacing cord fixes the issue. Lastly, why would they make a crew cab without rear air? I constantly have to direct my vents off of me for rear passengers. Overall, the powerful 6.2, towing, ride comfort, gas mileage, and luxury have made this my favorite truck to ever own.

Own a 2017 GMC 1500 SLE, has 155,000 miles and I still enjoy driving it everyday. Never had any major issues. Mostly all highway driving, vey little towing, average 19 to 20 MPG with 87 octane. It’s my second GMC 1500 and will be in the market for another soon.

i had leased a 2017 denali truck in 2020, i was happy with the comfort features and the truck for the most part but the transmission had issues from the get go. after several dealer visits and investigations nothing was done, the problem persisted and i returned the truck as soon as the lease was up.
