2001 GMC Sierra SLE Z71 review from North America
"So far, it has exceeded my expectations"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal maintenance only. Still have the original brake linings on the truck.
General comments?
Plenty of power. When I test drove it, I thought the engine was a lot bigger than a 5.3.
Excellent fuel mileage for a truck of this type.
Good rear seating room when compared to a Ford.
It was just an accident that I came across this vehicle as I was going to buy a Ford. Some poor soul had to sell it with 2500 miles on it because he was ill. It was my good fortune. Next truck, I will check out GM first.
