Comfortable and capable truck

My 2018 GMC SIERRA SLE CREW 4x4 is a solid, reliable truck. It worked great for it’s intended purpose, of hauling trash to the local dump and weekly trips to the hardware store. The ride was quite good and the interior noise level was very quite for a four wheel drive truck. The fit and finish was very nice inside and out. The 5.3L V8 was more than adequate for the jobs intended for a half ton truck. The kids had plenty of room in the back seat. The only two complaints would be the transmission seemed to shift a little slow, and the turning radius seemed wide for truck with a 145 inch wheelbase. The decent fuel mileage of 18-21 mpg on road was nice. I believe the reason for less than sporty shifting of the transmission was due to the programming to get better mpg. Overall an excellent truck, that I would recommend, and give it 4 out of five stars.

Recently Purchased

I have only had this vehicle for 1 week but if it is anything like the previous one that I owned for 12 years it will be a great truck.

Great truck!

Bought for towing. Great horse power and torque with 6.2 liter engine. 8 speed transmission very nice for towing. Super comfortable and easy to drive. Wife (and I) loved the interior. Great styling.

Great vehicle

This is the first truck that I have owned. It looks great and runs just as good. I have to practice parking as it’s a little bigger than what I am used to but it offers a variety of flexibility being something to haul things, take my kids and dog to the park, or running errands. I love it

The perfect truck

I went into truck shopping knowing I wanted a regular cab, and a long bed. My dad and boyfriend kept trying to convince me that a regular cab wasn’t practical. I shopped around for a couple months visiting and looking online at the inventory of close to 100 dealerships. When I stumbled upon the regular cab Sierra I knew it was the perfect truck. I found three on cars.com all in different states but one really stuck out to me. It had the factory tints that the others didn’t, this one also had half the miles of the others, with a much lower price tag. When I picked it up it was even better that I expected. I put a nice cargo box in the bed and am no longer worried about dry space. I couldn’t be happier with my truck!

Most reliable car I ever owned

This truck met all my needs. Plenty of leg room in the front and back. Plenty of towing power for my boat and camper. Drives very smoothly.
