2009 GMC Sierra 1500 consumer reviews

My 09 GMC Denali was the ticket for me. My truck has every item except rear wheel liners, washer fluid heater, engine block htr. and rear sliding window. Wanted the rear defroster instead of a window that opens. My faves are the heated and COOLED seats, rear camera that works grat day and night, 6.2 403+ hp, navagation, blue tooth, spray in bed liner, GMC matched bed cap, seamless AWD, 6 speed with tow mode, intigrated trailer brake system, moon roof, 20" wheels that fit the truck, and the smart FOB. Living in the South makes a great place for Cooled seats!!!! Dislike that none of the following were offered as extras: dual exhaust, no extra gas tank, no 110V in cab or bed, no air pump system, no engine bay light(s), no HID upgrade, no side or bed steps, no fender intigrated tool box. All that said, I really enjoy the truck and would recommend it to anyone. The tow mode really makes a difference in pulling a trailer in a feild and large loads on a 16' trailer. Had no problems. 403 HP and a tow mode 6 speed makes work easy. It seems to me that the 07 through the current 010 have been somewhat overlooked in the performance end. Dual exhaust, quality performance chips, and differential covers are just a few of the items that I cannot find that will fit the 6.2 Ltr. AWD specificly. The handling I gave 4 stars only because of the turning radius, because the rack and pinion steering that is on the 08 through the current model works very smooth,quiet, and responsive. The exterior styling would have been 5 star with HID's and a side or rear step or the option. The interior would have had a 5 star with a 110V and air pump option. Features would have been a 5 star with any of the following as an option: air pump, 110V, Finned diff. cover, oversized gas tank or dual tanks, HID's and maybe the tool box in the bed side/rail area. I will say that hands down, this is for sure the best truck I have ever owned and was the best overall optioned and driving truck I could have hoped for and found in 09. The only mods I have istalled is a oil bypass system that adds 3.5 extra qts. and a cold air induction system that has a low restriction air filter rated at 99.98 efficiency.

I've owned GM since I started driving. At 45 this is the first problem I've ever encountered. I love my black GMC crew cab SLT with a 6.0. It has the heavy duty trailering pkg. With only 7300km's it has started spewing white (not blue) smoke from the exhaust. The dealer is trying to tell me its oil. With the loss of power and getting only 450km's to a tank on the highway, (without pulling a trailer) I'm certain its a head gasket problem. I started it in front of both the service manager and the shop foreman. (it looks like an old steam engine leaving the train station). They're trying to tell me to monitor oil consumption. For one, I don't drive it enough to monitor anything. They say GM will not do any work until they are certain of the problem. At the moment they have had my truck for a week while trying to decide what to do. Because of this, I now have no tow vehicle for my trailer and have cancelled camping reservations. If this is what is meant by "service" then maybe this loyal GM customer might have to consider a (ugh) Ford.

Last March I was looking for a pickup. I was looking at Ford, Dodge and GMC/Chevy. I wasn't impressed with the Fords, and the prices were higher than anything comparable under Dodge and GM. I was close on the Dodge, and loved the 5.7 Hemi, but couldn't get past the center console shifter. Did they pull that from a Sebring? Plus, something about those rear coils that bother me. Nothing I could put my finger on, but I just wasn't sure I'd get everything out of the truck I wanted. I've always done well with my GM vehicles, and was happy to be back. I couldn't be happier today. I've since put a meager 13k miles on it, but have enjoyed every single mile to-date. The ride is comfortable, as attested to by my wife, 2 y.o. daughter and our chocolate lab. I drive her every day and we've loaded it for weekend trips, working on the house and everything in-between. The power isn't as noticeable as the Dodge Hemi, but that can be fixed in time. I've loaded the bed with concrete bags, lumber and scrap for the dump without a hiccup. The interior is top notch, and could be compared to some luxury vehicles. All-in-all, I made the right decision and haven't had buyers remorse at all. In fact, I love driving my truck.

I bought my 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 (Short Box) a little over a year ago and it's been great. I got the Exended Cab SLT 4WD. Black on Black with 5.3L V8 (regular fuel). Beautiful Truck. They handle very well in the snow with the 4-wheel drive and the traction control. While towing and carrying heavy loads in the pickup the truck still handles great and gives a great performance. The GMC Sierra is the way to go when looking for a pickup.

I Drove New Fords , The GMC is Far Superior In Ride Comfort . I Say Drive The GMC Before Buying Any Other Truck. The Perfect Truck .

i love this truck,starting to put alot of accessories on my 09 sle crew cab.i gave it 3 stars for handling because i have to go back to the dealer for a noise in the front end,if i had to guess steering idler shaft etc.when you drive over rough road you can hear it.it drives me nuts, i shouldnt hear a soul for $40,000 or only 4,000 miles on it

I work for Toyota but choose a GM Truck. This 09 GMC Crew Cab 4X4 is far Superior to any other Comparable truck out there. I tow my boat, utility trailer and haul hundreds of pounds of lumber easily. I fequently hunt up north for bear and moose. My Truck has the all Terrain Package and performs extremly well off road during hunting season. Our winter can be brutal, but no problem getting my family around with this truck.

I purchased my Sierra three months ago and I have been very impressed with it. It's great for towing and gets good gas mileage for a full size truck(when I don't drive it like I stole it). GMC gave me a great deal (0% for 72 months) and still follow-up to make sure everything is going well. I had it rhino line immediately and finally have the truck that I've always wanted. I love this truck!

my dad pulled a 10 ton sparayer with similar vehicle a chevy silverado 1500 my buddy pulled his 10 ton tractor with his I have z71 on mine it goes through all the mud u want.

I've owned my truck since November 2008 and I've had no complaints. I recieve compliments all the time and I hope to recieve more once I start adding accessories to my truck.
