Very reliable and comfortable

This truck have everything you need in a truck . The front seating is comfortable and good for long distance driving . Lots of interior storages. Gas milsge is good for this truck . The performance engine helps a lot. The quad seat is ok , the back rest is too upright

Prettiest truck I've owned

Truck was great until it came tow towing. Could've used a little more power. Was comfortable to drive and was smooth.

Comfortable truck

I love the 2012 Sierra 1500 crew cab. I have the SLT with added features. I love having cooled seats.

Wish I would've kept my 2000 gmc, the 2012 is junk

Loved it at first, then the door handles broke, windows wouldn't go down miss firing plugs no.3/6, with no recall, now the transmission will slam you forward violently,

Great Truck

Perfect vehicle for daily driving and weekend excursions. Get's from A to B without any issues, including during the Michigan winters. Very dependable, will run for a long time with minimum maintenance.

Never had a mechanical problem and performs

Meets all needs; 4x4 is awesome, never any major mechanical issues, comfortable ride, also has enough room for cargo, and no issues towing a boat we used for a weekend

Most reliable truck I have owned

This truck has met all my needs for traveling back and forth from work. For towing, for carrying items in the bed. This truck has much comfort and reliability than any other vehicle I have owned. It has great gas mileage for a truck, and has no issue wrong with it.

Nice Truck, Rides like a car.

Really enjoy this truck, lot of room, comfortable ride. Many great features even in the base models. My wife commented that it's a more comfortable ride than the All bells and Whistles Larger SUV we got rid of.

Solid Truck!

Very nice and sporty looking truck. I love the box body style and the overall ride of the truck. Interior is comfortable and controls are easy to use. 5.3 is a little on the weak side compared to 5.7 vortec or other trucks I have driven but still does the job for what I need.
