2005 GMC Sierra SLE review from North America
"Great value and well built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far, although it is still nearly new and under factory warranty.
General comments?
A well built 1/2 ton extended cab 4x4 pickup. Even with the Z71 off road package, it rides smoothly and handles very competently.
Equipped with a 4.10 rear axle ratio, it tows my 4000 pound travel trailer with ease.
Averages 14-15 miles per gallon in town, and 19 on the freeway. Not bad for a full size truck with the 4.10 rear axle.
The only other axle ratio available was the 3.42, and it feels sluggish compared to the 4.10. And mileage isn't much different.
