1994 GMC Sierra SLT review from North America
"Good for working and very tough"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oxygen sensor failed at 51.000.
Bearings in rear end failed at 40.000.
Exhaust rust caused the muffler to fail at 65.000.
General comments?
Great sized bed; even with a toolbox I can still fit a couch and table, and still get the tailgate closed.
Accelerates well and brakes well, but the handling though corners is not great; under steer and over steer is very bad.
Running cost, not including gas, is very good, but at 11 MPG U.S. that bumps it down.
General strength of vehicle is very good; has been in two accidents and survived both, as well as being used for daily driving though rain, snow, ice. etc.
Engine is very strong with regular maintenance. It should last far into hundreds of thousands of miles.
Air conditioning and heater work very well.
Radio not so much, even with new speakers.
