The truck is OK, but one of the features that i really wanted was wireless android auto. It does have it, but only for the first month. Then they make you buy a $50 per month plan to keep it. Not only that but they sell the service through a shady third party (onstar). I had to block their number because they will call nonstop untill you sign up. I feel ripped off on my $70k truck.

After being a FORD guy for over 35 years, I decided to give GMC a try :/ I drive out with the brand new AT4 on thursday evening, after just 40 miles I wake up in the morning to find a big puddle of trans oil on my driveway. I call the salesman and drive it to the dealership, on the way there almost complete shutdown, engine over heat is on, A/C out!! Engine noise!!, get to the dealership wanting to talk to the manger, to no avail! Salesman and service tech tell me theres nothing to do but put it in to service. Absolutely displeased and irritated with GM dealership,..DO NOT BUY GMC! does Lemon Law apply here?

2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation 4dr Crew Cab 5.8 ft. SB (2.7L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
7 of 8 people found this review helpful

I bought a brand new 2025 GMC Serria Elevation Premium. I've had it exactly 1 month today. It didn't even have 65 kilometers on it when the engine light came on. It has spent a total of 2 weeks at the dealership and they still can't find out what is wrong with it. How can you build such a piece of garbage and not know how to fix it. The dealership told me it's not their problem however, it is actually their problem because they are the ones selling these pieces of garbage. I will never buy another chevy or gmc again. If I would give a minus 5 star review if it would let me.

The truck looks great, It drove great for 20,000 kms. Valve body went and has been sitting for 2 months waiting for parts that GM doesn't care if you get it or not. This is a very common issue that GM knows about but continues to use sub-standard parts and doesn't feel the need to correct the issue. They tell you parts are back ordered but they continue to build trucks every day with the parts needed to repair the vast number of trucks that are affected by this issue. t The Dealership has been great and I think they are embarrassed by the total lack of support by GM Canada. So if you want to waste a $100,000.00 by a GM.

bought a 2024 sierra crew cab 4 wheel drive. found out later that unless you pay for onstar you don't get that nice big navigation map. you have to use your phone, if you have a smart phone, and you only get half of the screen. if you don't have your phone with you you or onstar you don't get any maps at all for that nice big screen. be aware that you buy a truck with a about a $40 a month bill for onstar if you want your navigation maps, or you better have a smart phone with you if you want any maps at all. This experience left a bitter taste about GM for me. I have bought GM my entire life but now I think i will be looking at other brands

Don't buy the diesel, nothing but problems. Had for four months and was in service department six time. Inaccurate low DEF warnings and check engine lights. Multiple electronics needed constant "software updates". Dealer would not address the bad DEF sensor and tank replacement needed. Everything from phantom pedestrians showing on back-up sensors and then slamming on brakes to going into limp mode. Could not safely take on any sort of road trip. Chugged down DEF fluid like cheap champagne on prom night. Service advisor said, "Oh, it will get better at 15-20k miles".. this only a 2-year lease! Service advisor went as far as advising, "I suggest you get another vehicle.". GM put up no contest and got full buy-back + attorney fees. Run from the baby Duramax! Never had any problems with the big HD Duramax's in the past. The lil' diesel engine sucks. I think GM is in real trouble. No longer a future customer of GM. The dealership's lot was loaded with buy-backs cars and trucks btw... not good.

first thing I didn't like was the reflection of the infotainment system on the review mirror bad design, then the back window leaked, then the rear door leaked then the transmission started slipping when going into 3rd. can we just have a truck without all that fancy non sense and make it work!

Bought a brand new 2024 gmc sierra 1500 in April. It’s September, and since August 18th, I have not had my truck. After its first oil change at 5500 miles, my truck has not been able to shift out of first gear. The tcm went out and it’s back ordered with no estimated delivery date. Very disappointed. Probably my last GM vehicle.

The Diesel Denali 1500 truck rides really well. It is much smoother than the Ford 150 and the Denali Diesel has great mileage. I'm getting 20mpg around town and 29mpg on the road. The AAT$ also has smooth ride

2 of 2 people found this review helpful

Bought a new Sierra 1500 Denali… Bought a new Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate just over a year ago. 3200 miles into it engine went. In the shop for a month. It went back into the shop approximately 6 months later fo two recalls and needs to go back and in for some odd behavior with the transmission. Funny sound and showed it was in ‘off-road’ mode no matter what I did. That has now gone away but who knows? A little of my history before I continue, my father retired from GM Manufacturing, my stepfather, mother and most of my family worked for GM for many years in and around Saginaw, MI. So we have always been GM people. Bottom line, never again. Not only did GMC not buy back this lemon, they really refused to do anything other than do the repairs. Looks great, great bells and whistles, nice to interior. Piece of crap that the company will not acknowledge. I will be a Ford buyer from here on out, even though I can buy GM through the family plan. Thoroughly disappointed in what has become of this once great company. All I can say is if you still choose to buy one of these vehicles, know your on your own. Gene PS: ignore trim details below. Did not have mine but will not let me change. Date of experience: January 29, 2025

2024 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.8 ft. SB (5.3L 8cyl 10A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

Purchased in May 2024. Sierra 1500 SLT Trim with the X-31 off road and 5.3 V-8. So far awesome. I was a little afraid I was going to lose some of the comforts of my Yukon but no. In fact picked up some options that I would have like to have on my Yukon like electric folding mirrors. I have never had a pickup before and I can tell you I will not buy anything else again as a daily driver. The SLT package is just enough. A little better than the Elevation as I drove both before making a decision. I also drove an AT4 but that was a little out of the budget. This truck has been great and I absolutely love doing business with T and T Coast in Sea Girt, NJ. This is the 4th truck I have bought there and am always treated great. No games. The only disappointment is at the time I bought it there were not many different colors available. With that combination of trim and engine you got either black or white. I wound up with a black one. Looks and drives great. Infotainment is fine enough. I know there a lot of people who bang on GM for the lack of tech for that but it's sufficient for most people. 5 out of 5 for me. Until of course the lifters go bad.

I have owned my 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali and love almost all aspects of the vehicle. But the entertainment system is horrid. I cannot complete a bluetooth phone call with the constant disconnects. In the time that calls are functional, the phone speaker cracks like it is broken. Also, I have started the car twice, and there is no sound whatsoever, not even for FM radio. The only solution is disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. These are well-known issues on GMC Sierra forums for 25, 24, and 23 1500 trucks. Shame on GM for such poor electronics.

My last four trucks were Toyota Tundras. The newest a 2023. Lemons can be had anywhere and from any make including Toyota, I have experienced that with my 2023 Tundra! I traded for a new 2023 Sierra SLT with the 5.3 V8. After 22,000 miles I’m very happy with it. The V8 isn’t as snappy as the turbo V6 Toyota, BUT it’s also averaging over 20 mpg VS the Tundras 14 mpg. Dare I say the GMC has also been 100% more reliable than the Tundra. The tech works very well and the truck feels well built. Plan to keep this one 7-8 years so I’ll update as I go. So far I really like this thing!

This is a prime example of internship, where someones big new idea was to remove the old school cigarette lighter port? But failed to realize that every single pro gps, dash cam, tool inverters despite having 1 out let will barely enough power to run a drill, air compressor pumps, and just about every single on the road vehicle electronic component uses the "cigarette" lighter outlets. WTF there isn't even an adapter for that! Now what all my tools are reserved useless or pay a lot of $ to have 1 installed! Smh

Best half ton pickup on the market

I have owned and driven many different half ton pickups over the last 50 years both for pleasure and as a Federal Ranger on and off road. I recently purchased a 2024 GMC 1500 Denali with the 3.0 Duramax. This truck is by far the best one I have ever owned or used. The fit and finish is outstanding plus the gas mileage and towing ratings outrank all the competition this year. I'm getting 32mpg on the highway with this truck plus it pulls my 25ft camper and horse trailer with ease with it's 13300 pound towing capacity. 495 pound torque also helps. My short wife loves the retractable running boards and I love the tailgate that folds down making ingress and egress to the bed very easy. Glad I waited for the 2024 3.0 Duramax with it's steel pistons, higher HP, improved fuel pump and higher tow rating. Bought extended warranty so any major repairs if any will be covered. This truck rides as well as our Cadillac Escalade with better gas mileage. No complaints. Sorry this review didn't allow me to list the Denali truck with the 3.0 litre engine.

Love the vehicle other than crackling of speakers. It’s supposed to have a software update within a couple of weeks. Not sure why that would make it to the customers prior to fix. Also this review doesn’t offer the Denali trim as an option so I chose elevation so I could proceed.
