1997 GMC Sierra review from North America
"This is a great, reliable piece of machinery"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing.
General comments?
I have driven my Sierra for a couple of years now and I have to say that I could not ask for a better vehicle to suit my needs. It is powerful, reliable and has performed much better than my overall expectations. It is not a 4x4, but I have driven it off roads and it handles great.
As far as towing goes, it has delivered every time. I have pulled a stuck SUV out of a ditch, as well as a friends broken down car. I love my truck.
