2003 GMC Sierra SL RCSWB review from North America
"I like it better than the fords I have owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just got a letter in the mail saying GM would extend my warranty on the interior until 2010 due to a few malfunctions in the dash and gauges. They will repair it for free, but I have not had any problem with my gauges as of yet. I wish the seat was more comfy. Nothing mechanical has gone wrong with the truck.
General comments?
I love the truck and the options it came with, it is the SL model, but came with the 327/345hp due to minor upgrades I increased horepower easily. It has power door locks, but does not have power windows... I like that option because I have had trucks in the past where the power windows quit working. It has the chrome grille and came from the factory with aluminum alloys NOT the heavy steel rims. It has a seat I have not seen in other trucks... the center console does not fold down and the seat it not cloth or vinyl it is more like "tweed" fabric... it seems tougher than the cloth or vinyl because it has not torn or ripped. The truck did not come with a towing package, but it has the "smooth ride" option, but has the optional transmission cooler..."ODD". I like the truck it's sporty and by far the fastest truck I have ever owned. I have owned Ford trucks in the past and the engines in these GM trucks are much better, more power, more torque, Great engines.
