Worthless

My 2008 gmc sierra gave me a low oil pressure warning with 170,000 miles on the engine. The oil pump went bad. I ended up just replacing the whole engine with a rebuilt one.

Recall Dangers and other Problems !

Last friday got in my truck to leave work and started the truck and heard a loud Bang inside the cab , the truck shut down and emerg flashers , all dash lights were flashing includeing Service Airbag Symble ! Had it taken to Dealer to be serviced and was told it has nothing to do with recall's even thougth the seatbelts retracted so hard they can not be pulled even with hands ! They said it is a sencer in the drivers seat and want me to pay 2700.00 to fix ! The GM of the dealership said I could just go ahead and drive it and said it's a 2008 vehicle what should I expect/or want !!!

GMC Sierra Denali

I bout this truck new in 2008 and traded it in in 2020. This truck gave me 12 years of reliable transportation. I used this truck for everything from commuting to work to camping with the Boy Scouts.

Worst truck ever made.

had to replace catalytic converter, power steering line, brake pads, CV joints, tensioner, pulleys, belts, valve cover for oil issues, dipstick tube holder, power switch for window after 90 days of ownership. 160K and is in shop again for throttle body sensor and exhaust issues! Wish it would spontaneously explode.

This is one of the worst vehicles I've owned

It wouldn't be a bad truck if it didn't have over $3,000 worth of problems to it that I bought from the dealership other than that it wouldn't be a bad truck

Incredible truck

Great on the road or around town. "Rides like a Cadillac". No longer need a truck. Extremely reliable and comfortable. This truck will serve someone well for many miles to come.

Wish I still had it!

Sweet style and practical use for hard work. The miles per gallon were nice especially for Highway use. The four wheel drive was a blessing too.

Great 4 wheel drive

I love the great 4x4 safety and comfort of driving. Not too many short beds out there and I love the blue color perfect for winter driving

Going to miss this truck!

Simply a great truck! Has almost every feature you could want, even being 10 years old! The 6.2L V8 sounds and drives great, even produces decent mpg considering (about 17mpg). Originally this truck was purchased new by my Father who later passed it down after racking up 200k miles driving to work in it!
