2004 GMC Sierra 1500 consumer reviews

My dad bought the Sierra brand new in 2004 and I recently got it as a hand me down 2nd truck, and all I can say is it's perfect for what I need. Most reliable truck ever and I can get up to 16 in town and 22 on the highway. The 5.3 liter Vortec LM7 is probably the best engine ever made. The transmission is very responsive and the truck is surprisingly quick. And the 4 wheel drive works. My S10 never did that. Would definitely recommend. My only complaint is the ride is quite stiff with the twin leaf spring tow suspension, but it's supposed to be because it's toe suspension.

WORST PICKUP I EVER OWNED! VERY COMMON TO LS IS INTAKE GASKET/HEAD GASKETS NEED REPLACED AROUND 150,000 MILES OR LOOK OUT AND THEY RUN HOT WHICH IS AN ENGINE KILLER. PAINT IS THE WORST. CHEAP FRAMES RUST COMPLETELY INTO, UNLIKE FORDS FULL BOXED FRAME. JUST GO DRIVE THE 2004 F150 AND YOU'LL SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN RIDE AND HANDLING AS THERE IS NO COMPARISON, I OWNED BOTH. ANOTHER GM RIPOFF. NO WONDER THEY HAD TO BE BAILED OUT SELLING JUNK LIKE THIS!

I bought one and they ride smooth and tow really smooth most reliable truck ever you should really consider buying one. towing machine best looking truck ever

First truck as a 16 y/o, and its is amazing. handles like a dream on icy/wet/snowy roads. (Im currently in alaska) Pulls 0-60 in roughly 5 seconds. The stock audio system is good, but i would recommend an aftermarket stereo. I highly recommend this truck if you want something that'll never fail you. (its basically the opposite of a Ford) Im going to be getting a FlowMaster Super 44 Muffler for a deeper, and louder sound. 11/10, would MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.

I work this truck hard, it always starts, and gets me there and back. I would recomend this truck to anyone who wants a dependable truck.

almost 1/quarter of a million miles still going strong ! like the energizer bunny. high mileage motor oil, great running strong engine. yes yes 24 25,,

Purchased used put 200,000 miles on it so far, still runs as strong as it did when I got it. No issue and have never be left stranded. Great work GM.

So far it has been an extremely reliable vehicle. Very happy that I bought this truck from red White and blue auto sales. They definitely did me right

Has been very reliable. Never used as a work vehicle. All new seals, gaskets, tires, coils, radiator, hoses, recent shocks, many other components. Most paper work available.

I owned one of these for 13 years, got it new and put 240,000 miles on it with little issues. It still drove great but it was time for something new. The engine still had plenty of life left with oil changes every 3k miles the dipstick was never black, even at 3k miles.
