I've waited well over 2yrs to purchase a new teyck. After a few years of researching, saving, planning, I take the plunge. I purchased the 2019 GMC SIERRA 1500 SLE on Monday July 1, 2019 and under 100 miles the dreadful "Check engine light" comes on! First thing in the morning, July 2, I go to the local dealer and they dont see anything wrong. They state, "It could be because it hasnt been driven in awhile." They reset the light and off I go. By the end of the day 35miles later, the check engine light is back on. The service dept sends me an hour away to Birmingham. After several hours of waiting, the mechanic states, "The water pump is bad." It is currently at the shop. It is unexpected as to when I will get the truck back but I already have a fear of the dreadful check engine light reappearing because its obvious something is SERIOUSLY wrong with this vehicle. I will update this review ownding the turn out but for now, don't put yourself through the pain and agony Im currently experiencing. Purchase something more reliable.
Want my F-150 back

First time it rained water leaks in rear window. Tail gate broke in the first week. The bluetooth drops phone calls and turns down the volume on the phone without warning. Left at the dealer today with1700 miles, they said to expect two weeks for the parts and repairs. Maybe I will have no additional problems going forward.

2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.8 ft. SB (5.3L 8cyl 8A)

Purchased one of the first redesigned Sierras that the dealer had on the lot. Low level Denali trim with the pro tailgate. The upgraded stereo system with Nav IS VERY GLITCHY. System gets confused between Bluetooth and Android auto. Bluetooth is slow to respond and does not keep up the song title on the display when streaming. On a trip up to the mountains of N Arizona, the system (phone, radio, Nav) stopped working completely. No way to reset it. Next day it was fine. Using the USB outlet next to the Nav SD card slot confuses the system by saying SD card was removed.....not the case. Will take it in to have system evaluated. Btw heard similar problems with a 2017 Sierra HD pickup. GM can do better.

I traded in my Toyota Tacoma TRD sport to get a full size truck due to “two little additions” to the family. I went a looked at all four of the major brand full size trucks ( Ram, Ford, Chevy and GMC). All four were very nice trucks and this is my personal basis review. The ram had the nicest interior but I feel that had way too many electronic components which are likely to fail, and the reliability of the Dodge 5.7 in the past has been bad. It was a good looking truck, but I feel that they try to make it look to “luxurious” and “goddy”. Driving the ram it felt heavy, and had a lot of body roll. Even with the 392 rear end it still felt sluggish off the line for having a hemi in it. The Ford F150 Was a very rugged and capable truck. I would’ve only been interested in the VA because the realit was a very rugged and capable truck. I would’ve only been interested in the V8 because The unknown reliability of the TwinTurbo 3.5. The truck was probably the most comfortable to drive, but the interior seemed like it was very outdated comparative to all the other trucks. I felt it would’ve been the most capable off road and for towing but I could not spend upwards of $50,000 on a truck that had seats from 2004. And I heard there was a lot of problems with the 5.0 coyote motor. I know a lot of people are hit or miss when it comes to the Chevy Silverado but I did think it was a nice truck, and the Z 71 drove identical to the GMC. Me personally, I just wasn’t a big fan of the front end of the Chevy. The GMC x31 I felt was the best truck for me and my family, I love the interior I love to have the truck looked on the exterior and I like how it drove. With it being a new model in 2019, I’m sure there is going to be small issues but there always is with anything you buy and that’s why you have a warranty. I know a lot of people here are upset with some big issues they’re having with their GMC but don’t let that neglect you I’m taking a serious look at one, they’re beautiful. All of my coworkers have all different types of brands a brand new trucks and they all have had issues in someway shape or form. I bought a Tacoma in 2017 brand new, and had nothing but problems with it. So much for being the most reliable truck.

SLT-2 Crew Cab, after the first 1000 miles... Interior is nice (despite reviews to the contrary), seats are comfy. Controls are accessible and make sense. Technology and features are great; love Apple Play and the GMC App where I can start the vehicle from my office and let it cool down a bit before the ride home in 100 deg. weather. The "Premium Bose Sound System" upgrade is a disappointment. The base is muddy, the treble is hurtful, and generally the sound lacks dimension. (hate to see what the not-upgraded sound package is like...) Powertrain: 5.3 V8 does not seem to produce the smooth acceleration you would expect from 355 Plus HP and an 8-speed transmission. The engine runs rough at low RPM and the transmission never seems to find the right gear, especially in heavy ebb and flow traffic. Sport Mode helps a little but not much. (I will get the dealer to look into this bit) Suspension - Generally a smooth ride, until it's not. Approach a speed bump at an angle (even slowly) and the vehicle will lurch violently from side to side slamming passengers into the door panels. It will handle a single bump in the road well, but any series of bumps or undulations will make you wish you had approached at a much lower speed. Several times rough road at highway speed has left me feeling out of control. Could the shocks be bad already??? I recommend a better test drive than a quick 5-minute trip around the block on smooth city streets. I will give this another 4000 miles to wear-in and report back. Update - 15K miles Only one issue so far, that being the transmission. Occasionally slips and then slams hard into gear. Dealer could not replicate issue and found nothing wrong.
