Best Truck is the Denali Ultimate.

This truck has the power the comfort and easy of use. Tows hauls and is quiet and rides very smooth. The 6.2 motor is awesome.

My dream truck

This truck is everything I?ve ever wanted in a truck. It rides and looks like a luxury vehicle and it tows my boat like it?s not even there. If I was forced to come up with one complaint, it would be that there isn?t any vents for the back seat.

Transmission Jerks - Wheel shakes

Really disappointed with my truck. Dealership has not been able to balance 20" wheels or fix the low speed transmission jerk. It's been in the shop for a total of 10 work days and will be going back in next week for another try. Im looking at the 2019 Ram.

Exceeds expectations

I purchased a 9700 mile GMC Sierra 1500 SLT with the premium plus package. The technology in the truck is great! I also think the truck looks beautiful inside and out. My only slight concern has to do with the 8 speed transmission. When starting from a dead stop 1st gear sometimes revs a little too high before dropping to second. That's it. I am super pleased with everything else.

I test drove one before buying a Ram.

Nice truck. very comfortable and appealing to the eye. Not what you want if you're looking for performance. Seems to take off a little slow. A lot of legroom front and back. Would be a good retirement truck.

By far the nicest vehicle I've ever owned.

More power than expected, fantastic ride, great sound system, and tons of compliments from everyone. Attention to detail on both exterior and interior is outstanding. Great MPG, and tons of room!

Transmission is terrible

Also have 2012 f150 platinum, ford transmission is twice as smooth, gmc shifts jerky jerky, engine power woeful compared to ecoboost. If ford was more reliable and not so pimped out gmc would be in even more trouble. Sierra very good looking and rides nice but if they can't improve transmission I'm going back to ford. 7200 miles on truck purchased new

MY FIRST NEW TRUCK.

WE had been looking for a new truck for days, and then we saw this one. It was standing out from all the rest. It has ever thing that we want and need in a new truck. Great leg room front and back. The seats are great and the inside looks sharp. Love the back up camera. The V 8 engine has so much power. This is a great Truck.

2017 Sierra transmission clunker

8 speed Transmission clunks in 1st to second gear. Dealer says it?s normal . Seems as if someone has hit you from behind. Terrible transmission operation. Front lower bumper on non crime bumpers versions paint chips very easily and look horrible.
