2017 Sierra transmission clunker

8 speed Transmission clunks in 1st to second gear. Dealer says it?s normal . Seems as if someone has hit you from behind. Terrible transmission operation. Front lower bumper on non crime bumpers versions paint chips very easily and look horrible.

Wonderful

Exceeded my expectations. I just purchased a pre-owned GMC Sierra with the help of Jonathan "Cash" Stodghill at Automax of Ocala. Best experience I have ever had buying a vehicle!

Dream Truck Realized

I?ve been researching this particular truck for over a year prior to pulling the trigger and buying it. By far this is the most unbelievable vehicle I?ve ever owned. Stout in appearance, comfortable and smooth to drive. An absolute dream come true!!!

Great looking truck. Well built and dependable.

Great truck inside and out. Has comfortable interior with great options. Sleek exterior that looks sharp going down the road. I got the elevation edition and love the aggressive tires and lift.

First truck - love it.

Currently own the AllTerrain, half cab, 5.3L V6. Tons of power, smooth handling and great tech. Lots of snow this winter and this truck powers through it - very stable. One more important thing, this truck is 1.5-2 inches lower than the F-150 or RAM, so it still fits in the underground parking at work, very important! Test drove the F-150 SLT. Hated the suicide doors and the console shifter got in my way. Highly recommend this truck if you can afford it.

Better wait

You should wait for the 2019 or buy a Chevrolet, $3,000 cheaper. Truck is sufficient but the 5.3 feals lackluster and struggles to keep up with other vehicles at times.

Most comfortable truck i have owned

Truck is great. Kids are out of the house and I don't need a full crew cab and the 6'6" box is plenty long enough for what I need it for.

Another One

The Sierra is the 3rd one since 2007. They keep getting better in design and performance. This one if it follows the normal path will even be better.
