2011 GMC Sierra 2500HD SLE 4dr Extended Cab LB (6.0L 8cyl 6A)

Really a great purchase and totally paid for itself. Should be 4.5 stars because she left me stranded once, and GM build quality was 3 stars. Really low maintenance, materials are 6 stars. Rustproofed and still solid. The failures cracked exhaust manifold, bent when built hydraboost tube which cause a hard to find mini-leak. Eaton 3:73 carrier housing cracked when I was backing uphill with 3ton trailer at lockup transition from ice to dry pavement. Transmission left me stranded @ 116k miles. Transmission shop said he had never seen friction plates loose all surface material. I towed 3tons daily but never beat my GMC. It handles straight & true, ride is solid, none of the wavy feel I found in competitors HDs. Cheap tires tires don't last, get Michelin, Generals, BFGs. She's a WT, and in hindsight, I would opted for a SLT. She's been to Canada to Georgia and most places between, sometimes with my family in secure comfort.

I just got this truck. High mileage but in excellent shape. Is really a good running truck with 330000 miles on it.

I loved this truck the first time I test drove it ... I was used to Fords and could certainly feel the GMC was higher quality. One of the best trucks I've ever had! Been to over 20 states with over 200k miles ....no problems.

If you want power plus comfort, a fully equipped GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali meets every demand. And this from a committed Ford guy.
