Good vehicle, minor problems.

Almost good, paint pilling off after 5 years, automatic rear windows problems. Other than this, it is an OK vehicle. Needs better warranty and paint coding.

One fantastic truck!

This truck is a fantastic vehicle. I've owned it for just over a year and a half and have had zero issues. It provides an extrememly quiet and smooth ride. Great gas milage (17-18 mpg) and nearly drives itself on the interstate. I would recommend this truck to everyone. I am a GMC customer for life after owning this truck!

On going issues with design flaws

GM has a design flaw in the transmission lines which require replacement every 2 or so years in cold enviromments. Dealers have told me the connectors were not made to withstand continual cold winters. Most common repair on this truck and not a warranty item interestingly enough.

Great Trucks from GMC

I needed to replace my reliable 175K mile 15 year old 2003 SLE Sierra so I stayed with what I knew, a 5 year old 2013 Sierra with 50K on it. Great trucks, and the 2013 have great new toys and features, I did not know what I was missing out on - backup camera, auto parking, the bluetooth, etc.. The 5.3L V8 is smooth, and the truck drives like a car ( its a Z71 too) - hoping to keep this one going for 15 years like the 03, the way its built and runs, there should be little problem. If you maintain and care for these trucks they keep their value and worth for a long long time.

Purchased used very happy

Was looking for a clean, 2wd, pickup. Currently has 110k miles, runs well and tight. Looking forward to another 100k of use. Very satisfied. Would buy another.

Best truck I have ever owned

Great on gas and awesome durability. Extremely versatile for any day or job. I use my 4x4 with no issues and switch to daily family use in a blink of an eye.
