2012 GMC Sierra 1500 Review
By KBB.com EditorsIf you need to tow or haul big loads, a compact pickup just won't do the job. The 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 truck offers a wide range of trims, from basic Work Truck to the ultra-luxurious Denali, while th
If you don't have big towing and big hauling needs, you don't really need a big truck. A Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier or even the GMC Canyon can probably fit your needs and save you some big bucks.
Ample power and an unexpectedly civil ride are two the 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 truck's best attributes. A fully-boxed ladder frame provides the Sierra with a rigid chassis, while the coil-over-shock front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering give the big Sierra truck the ability to respond to driver input with impressive speed. Over the course of a few days, we traveled along smooth highways, narrow back roads and unpaved washboard tracks. Even over the roughest surfaces, the 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 truck's cabin remained calm, bothered neither b

"The truck has slack in the drive train. It is more noticeable in stop and go traffic, and when you turn to the right you can hear a clunk noise as the slack comes out of the drive line. I took the truck back to the dearlership and was told by the technician that I was not the only one who had this same problem. According to GM and the dealership the solution was for me to change my driving habits."

Pros: "Value, classic looks, low ownership cost, reliable"
Cons: "interior styling lags behind Ford F150"

"Other than the interior styling (which I think Ford is light-years ahead of all other manufacturers), I have absolutely no gripes about this truck. I test drove the F150, Titan, Ram, and Tundra. The only truck I imediately nixed after driving was the Tundra (after driving the Tundra, I was completely disappointed and cannot understand the infatuation Toyota loyalists have with that truck...way over-hyped and over-priced, and if you don't believe me, drive one and then drive/price any of the other four...unless you are a Toyota apologist, you will be disappointed). The only truck that I actually liked better than the Sierra was the F150. However, considering I could get a comparably equipped Sierra for a few thousand $$ less, the Sierra was definitely the better value. So far, I've had absolutely no problems...even the original tires lasted over 60,000 miles. My family has owned a number of different makes and models of vehicles in the past, including Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai. A client of mine encouraged me to check out GMC, as he runs GMC's for his business and routinely gets 300,000+ miles out of his work pick-ups. Definitely glad I did check out the Sierra. One of the best vehicles (car/truck/van) I have ever owned. Will definitely buy again if I can get another reasonable deal."
