2005 GMC Sierra 3500 Crew Cab

Never let's me down

By GMCLIKEABOSS (WI) on Wednesday, May 15, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 58,750

Pros: "Almost everything"

Cons: "Seat wear, steering squeaks."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I bought this truck brand new and have had no problems with it since then. I use it mainly for driving to work and pulling a 5,000 lb. pontoon boat. It pulls like a dream but tends to go into 2nd gear up long grades. When I commute with it I drive 75% highway and 25% city, I usually get about 16 MPG. My only complaints are the leather seats have a little more wear than I think it should for a low mileage vehicle should and the steering squeaks very rarely. Overall I would recommend this truck to anyone. I also love the roar when you floor it. BEST TRUCK EVER!!"

"It was in an accident and completely re-built, frame off by the new owner, a body shop. My intention was to use it as a spare and pull my boat. I ended up loving it and it now has 260,000 mile on it. I re-built the transmission and keep it clean and serviced. I can get 15mpg on a 454 if I keep it at 55 mph. Any faster and your going to the bank. I can sell it today for almost what I paid in 2006. GMC has me sold."

Very good truck.

By Dufusboy (IN) on Wednesday, April 24, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 33,490

Pros: "Excellent truck...paid for, low miles!"

Cons: "Poor mileage with low rear gear."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Excellent truck for towing/hauling. Use to tow 8,500 lb. 5th wheel camper. Have made engine modifications to increase hp. about 50 to 60. Due to low rear gear (4:10) it does not get good mileage, but will due 8.5 to 9.5 IF you do not go over 70 mph! I have had many good compliments on the truck over the years, (bought new 9/04)."
