2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Z-71 review from North America
"Excellent all purpose vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
I have the Sierra Classic 1500 Extended Cab Z-71 4x4; 2007 being the last year for this body style.
This truck handles like a car and rides like a Cadillac. The interior of the extended cab has the comforts of a luxury car; I will probably never own another car simply for the lack of need thanks to the versatility of this truck.
The engine is very quiet and more than powerful enough; the flex fuel capability allows me to use the E85 Gas. E85 Gas is not as efficient as the conventional fuel, but this vehicle handles both fuels with no change in overall performance. There are no switches to throw; just gas and go.
I have equipped this vehicle with the necessary equipment for service in the volunteer fire service; not only does it look sharp, but its performance is superior to any other truck I have ever owned. Transmission shifting is smooth, and the power is unbelievable. I average over 16 mpg, which is outstanding for a vehicle this size.
It's a great looking vehicle that will still look top of the line for many years to come. I love this truck, and will run it as long as it will let me.
