2002 GMC Sierra SLE review from North America
"I know my next truck will be a GMC whenever this one quits"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My first wheel bearing at 189000.
General comments?
This truck will tow anything, haul wood and drive in deep snow anytime.
It handles great, and I still have the original battery, the truck stays outside all the time in all kinds of weather, I keep it clean and looked after, and it still looks like new.
Very quiet to drive, a lot of power when needed, and braking is great, changed brakes at 92000 kms and they are still good now.
A lot of city driving; fuel mileage is 22 mpg when you treat it nice, mostly averages 19-20 mpg, but the way this things works, mileage is a minor thing to worry about.
My next door neighbour has a 03 Ford 150 with 75000 kms, and has more front end and leak problems, and he is kicking himself he did not buy a GMC.
It's great for taking the grand kids in the back, extended, they don't play with the doors.
