1988 GMC Pickup review from North America
"Biggest Waste Of Money I Ever Spent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the engine twice. The transmission had to be replaced. Radiator had to be replaced. Almost the whole truck has been reworked.
General comments?
The truck is very unreliable, the engine lacks some serious power I'm getting smoked by three cylinder Sprints. It costs me a arm and leg to afford fuel. The engine and transmission is very weak and will not stand up to any abuse. The frame hangs so low don't be using this truck to do any off-road work or you will be walking home. Finally the seat is really uncomfortable. My old 1986 Ford F-150 4x4 would have embarrassed this truck in every aspect, power, handling, dependability, off-road I'm very disapointed in this truck and will never buy one again.
