After owning for pick up trucks for most of my life, I’ve decided to buy this GMC 1500 Sierra Denali had a beautiful interior and a lot of things to help my handicap that Ford didn’t have. After spending almost $80,000 it is the biggest lemon I have a Hundred plus videos on my phone showing the dealer the issues all they get is it software problems or we can’t duplicate the problems GPS does not work all the time radio does not work all the time. Breaking system doesn’t work properly when driving and coasting and you let your foot off the accelerator Breaks slam on when there’s absolutely no cars near you and you just want to coast up to a light other issues

2023 Sierra Elevation Crew Cab 4WD 5.3l V8. I bought the Sierra to replace my 2003 Silverado which had been the best vehicle I'd ever owned so I had high expectations. Overall, I really like the GMC and appreciate the comfort features. I'll list some of my positives and negatives but most of the negatives are very minor so judge for yourself. Hopefully, this helps you. Positives: Very smooth and quiet ride. Decent mileage (~20mpg highway, 5.3l V8). Excellent trailering app and brake controller. Plenty of cargo loops (12x). Bumper step is nice. No gas cap is cool. Truck looks great. Love the Titanium Rush color. Negatives: Auto-stop was annoying so I installed an auto-stop eliminator. Fog lights are very weak. Climate controls are hard to use as the buttons are small and you can't really tell what the setting is until you press a button. The dashboard vents blow directly at your face regardless of which way the vanes are aimed. The fan is quite loud above the lowest speed setting. The seats aren't very comfortable so I added a seat pad that also helps me see over the high hood line (I'm 5'10"). The radio changes volume randomly. Side-exit exhaust would be better so as to not fill the garage with exhaust or blow at me while I hook up the trailer. Final words: Overall, the truck is great. If you test drive one, be sure to drive the 3.7l diesel. I was very impressed but stuck with the 5.3l gas because I liked it so much in my old Silverado.

Has everything I need, rides comfortable, and the 2.7L turbo drives considerably better than the 4.6L I traded in for it.

Tailgate button, problems with engine, etc

The tailgate button is in a terrible spot, and can be pushed easily. And apparently it can open while on the highway. We lost $2500 of ski boots, skates and helmets because of this, it opened while on the highway. As well as this vehicle has broken down multiple times at this point, despite being new.

2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation 4dr Double Cab 4WD SB (2.7L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
16 of 23 people found this review helpful

2023 Sierra Elevation Got the 4cyl 2.7 turbo not really recommended for towing , that's ok cause I don't plan to tow anything anyway but they had to include a $350 trailer brake controller. The there is that Bull Sh-- 3 part not easy to fold down tailgate... the designer of that should get a slap up the side of the head... and last but not least $70,000 for a new truck but no Owners manual ... they say, get an up to date smartphone and download the App for it... really ? GM you SUCK ! Update: Salesman negotiated with head of sales and finally got me the Owners' manual.
