I purchased this truck in April 2010. My first gmc. I love it. It has the duramax & Allison combo. Very powerful. It pulls beyond what I expected. I got this truck used with 81 thousand miles. Everyone tells me its just getting broke in. So far I like everything about this truck.

Ok let's start out that I have owned them all and I have owned a lot of trucks. My business is repairing trucks of all sizes and brands for large and small owners. I drive what I don't have to fix! Period! The GMC gives me power to pull my toy hauler and comfort on the long vacations. looks great and never lets me down

Just bought this truck from my neighbor. 58,000 miles on a 8 year old truck. It is box stock and clean. I cleaned it up even more. I have never owned a diesel before or a GMC. This diesel is Awesome! GMC has a slightly better finish than the Silverado I sold. We tow a 33ft Keystone Ultra lite camper that's 6,800lbs like a dream. There all expensive and I don't know why the comman man would spend the money on a new one. Enjoy shopping and go clean used. Some mods in the future, good deals out there on used perf. parts Update: 85,000 mile now....still 100% satisfied. Many want to buy it from me. Not for sale! Great truck.

It's a love/hate relationship between me and this truck. I first fell in love with the outside design. The front view has the same appearance as the Denali. It rides high and has a very aggressive look. It has plenty of power and has yet to be challenged by any load have had. The 6.0L is one of my prized possessions. Most of the of the negative comments here should have been expected, I understand. It sucks gas. I'm averaging around 14 MPG. It offers a bumpy ride. The dash board seems cheaply made, with thin plastic. The rear end can get loose quickly on wet surfaces. The power steering box went out twice. 17 inch rims on a truck of this size is an injustice.
Great

I have had several of the old classic 2500 4WDs and this one is by far the best truck I have ever owned. The styling is so much nicer than Chevy. Only one little problem with the transmission so far. All my previous GMCs spent a lot of time in the shop for warranty work, but not this one! Build quality seems so much better now.

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.
Great Truck

2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4dr Extended Cab Work Truck 4WD LB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)

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.
Great work truck

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!!!

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
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.
Duramax Diesel Love IT

This is the Duramax Diesel 2500 HD and I absolutely love this truck. I wouldn't trade it for any vehicle in the world. It pulls my 30 1990 very heavy camper like a dream, even in the mountains. I can't say enough positive about this truck.
Love of my life

Love the truck. Drove the Ford and the GMC and fell in love. Drives sweet. Tow a 10,000 lbs 5th wheel and don't even know it is there. Transmission is great uphill and down. Bose stereo is great. Heated leather seats and dual climate control are sweet. Would recomend this truck to anyone.
Only Giving 4 Stars because of 2 things...

First off, love the truck, got mine with only 75k, pretty much bone stock, and I'm now at 128k. I've ran through most of the standard maintenance items (fluids changed, brakes replaced ect.), and the truck has been entirely dependable through it all. I have no fear of getting stranded as it has always got me where I need to go. Interior is decent, lots of cheap plastic but I get that its an early 00's vehicle and that was common. I dig the looks, just put 33's plus a level kit and it looks/drives great. The 2 things I don't like. Fuel economy is terrible, like 11.5 if I'm being tender footed. Second, with that terrible fuel economy they only give you a 25 gallon tank. So nothing big in terms of how bad things could be, but there's my 2 cents.

This is a wonderful truck. It rides so smooth you think you are in a Cadillac. This is the second GMC I have owned and I dont think that I would own any other truck!
