Fuel mileage is poor at best. Engine surge and hesitation. Driveability is very eratic. Vehicle runs hot, fan runs excessively. Tranny and engine temp gauges always show 210 or better. All this while running vehicle empty. When towing all of the above is off the charts. GM answer is that all is normal.

I have always wanted to own a new vehicle so last fall I decided to purchase my all time favorite vehicle, the GMC Sierra. I bought it over the internet because I knew what I wanted, I picked up the vehicle and drove it home. I was amazed at the lack of HP and gas mileage. Since this was my first new vehicle I didn't know all about the break in process. It took 2 weeks for the HP to show up and the fuel economy to increase. In the meantime I was entertained by the XM Radio that will be an option in every vehicle I purchase from now on. The interior of GM vehicles still have the working man's look to it, but it is hiding an amazing array of features.

I drove them all. GMC still offers the 'work truck' and although it might be too spartan for some, I found it to be the right balance of form and function. Also, if price is an object (isn't it always)this baby rocks. I use my trucks like, well, trucks. And if I had had to spend $40,000+ on something else, I might be guilty of babying my truck. Then why by a truck? I had a bedliner sprayed in, and now it sees full duty as my primary working, boat pulling, camping, wheeling vehicle. Fit and finish are very nice. Plenty of power with the 6.0L. Even the cloth 'bench' seats are comfy.
The good and the bad.

Purchased this truck on 5/26/05. Had it only three days and had to put it in the shop for automatic transmission repair. It was in the shop for four days. First gear went bad after only 500 miles. It doesn't turn as close as my old Yukon but it is a larger vehicle. The engine is powerful. I can't even feel my trailer. I like the looks. For an XLT it doesn't have some of the options I thought it would have. ie. lumbar seat, rear A/C. I really like the truck. I'm just disappointed with the transmission problem and the lask of service from the dealer. I'm just waiting for something else to break. It also is a little bumpy. Maybe that's normal.
It's OK, but check out the Dodge too

The '05 replaced my '03, both Duramax, and I have to say that I liked my '03 better. I don't know what GMC did between then and now, but whatever it was, I don't like it. I test drove a Dodge both times and thought that they rode too hard and the back seat was too small. On the other hand, is it worth $10 grand to get a GMC that also rides hard and has a slightly larger rear seat that I'm never going to ride in? To be sure, it's a nice car, but I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't have bought the Dodge and put the $10 grand into my future Cessna fund. Come on GMC, for fifty grand you guys can do better! If you don't believe me look at your last 3 quarters sales numbers.
