Positive Review

"Great Truck for the money. Smooth ride ."

I have had Ford trucks and some chevy trucks in past years. This truck is the best by far. 25,000 miles and no squeaks or towing problems. Love the smooth ride and the interior is comfortable and all instrument panel signs are easy to read. Love this truck for long trips.

Critical Review

"This is a car trapped in a truck body!"

Great if all you do is flat highway. Not good on hills and worthless for towing. Can't wait to dump it.

I love this truck

These GMC Sierra trucks like this or bulletproof just about. There's only one problem with this truck with 6 l engine is a complete gas hog. I still give it five stars because I've had this truck for 8 years and not had the first problem. But if you're just putting around town you'll get between 9 and 11 miles to the gallon. That is the honest truth best you'll get. It's not too bad out on the highway.

Incorrect Value

I have been looking for this model pickup for a week, and every vehicle I've seen is priced at average $35,000 for one with 100,000 miles +/- $10,000. If you can find me this vehicle with between 90,000 and 100,000 mile Mocha Gray with Ebony interior, I will by it. Your price is way low.

Light it up.
Pros

It is a comfortable truck for doing road trips in.

Cons

Headlights go out frequently and the paint chips easily on the top of the truck right above the windshield

I love my 2013 GMC 4 door special edition truck. It has been a good truck. The 2 only complaints I have are the paint chips off so easily above my front windshield. Also, it seems I am forever buying headlights. For some reason they burn out easily. Other than that,I would highly recommend if you’re looking for an older model truck? This is a good one.
