Used 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD Consumer Reviews
Camper caper
This GMC drives nice and handles very well on the highway. it has ample interior room for the grandkids and 3 adults, along with enough space for camping gear. When pulling a 28ft camper, it's pretty bouncy when empty. The back seat is split, and you can fold one completely down, or both, leaving a lot of space in the back and still room for 3 people in front with the fold down console. It has auto 4wheel drive to take over when roads are snowy, and plenty of power to drive next to the big boys. My wife even likes to drive it. I replaced the muffler with one that makes more noise.That was a mistake. At slower speeds that sound is evident in the cab. I like the truck, but it needs better gas mileage to really make it one to brag about!

I highly recommend this version of the GMC to those who do not mind a stiff ride that will pull anything a truck is supposed to pull. The 6.0 engine coupled with the 4.10 rearends give it enough power to pull a house off of it's foundation if you wanted to put it to that type of test. I put it to the test using the 4X4 at Ft. Fisher, NC in sand that others were getting stuck up in and had no problems once I dropped the air pressure down to 20 lbs per tire from the origional 60. The fishing was great also. I've had 9 other 4X4's, between Ford and Chevy's and this GMC is by far the

WOW....What a fantastic Truck! I have a 1995 FORD 250 Gas (70K Miles), and a 1994 GMC Gas (113K Miles). The 2005 GMC is comfortable enough and even with the longbed easy enough to drive and park that I leave the car in the garage and use the truck for work and play. When it comes to the work portion it is one powerful, competent truck. I wish the side mirrors were the size of Fords. All the manufacturers need to install a tie down hook in the front middle of the truck bed. Metal around rear wheels in truck bed is too thin in the GMC. GMC needs a radio mute button on the steering wheel. Needs additional LARGE cup holder for the driver in center consol. Cup holders too close together.
Excellent truck for me.
This is by far, one of the best, if not the best truck I've ever purchased or driven. The interior (seats) are a little stiff (leather), but not an issue overall. The gas mileage is a little rough, but hey...I knew that going into the purchase. I love my truck!!!
Pleasantly Surprised
Duramax diesel showing 22 to 23 mpg on highway. Very smooth shifting with Allison transmission (even under load). Ride is a little stiff, but expected with 2500HD. Truck is extremely capable.
