2001 GMC Sierra SLE review from North America
"Highly recommended, tons of power and fun, and ultra reliable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this truck. No mechanical issues, quirks, rattles, or complaints.
Recall on the tailgate cables, which was fixed in 20 minutes for free. This was more preventative then imperative.
General comments?
I love this truck! It seriously hauls! The 5.3L V8 is enjoyably powerful and smokes anything that has challenged me. What I have towed with it was a piece of cake and took no effort for the truck. I've only put synthetic and premium fuel in it, as did the previous owner. Not a single issue. Adding a Volant cold air box and Flowmaster exhaust, it's a dream to drive and hear. I previously had a Chevy S-10 with 296,000 miles on the original drive train, and I'm confident this truck could last just as long. I have had ultra reliability with GM vehicles and recommend to everyone compared to the horror stories with my Ford Mustang.
