1997 GMC Sierra SLE 4x4 review from North America
"Good offroad towing vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Poor fitting interior trim (carpet).
Engine main seal leaked.
Rear RH brake shoe siezed.
Premature rusting of doors and tailgate.
Bumpers replaced due to pitted chrome.
Overfilled engine oil after service call.
General comments?
Nice, powerful and handling truck, but quality control and dealer service somewhat lacking.
