Great truck, solid engine, comfortable, smooth, and it

Great truck, solid engine, comfortable, smooth, and it handles great for such a large vehicle. Get one and enjoy miles of roadtrips with all you can tow or haul.

Bought this truck used about 1 year ago with 110k miles.

Bought this truck used about 1 year ago with 110k miles. I'm up to 125k miles, and just had to replace the transmission ($5k). Paint is chipping and peeling in multiple locations. 1 day after replacing transmission, cylinder #4 failed. Replacing the engine now ($9k), and then selling this lemon... Very disappointed in GMC which I have always read was a good make. Never again.

Horrible truck.

Bought this truck in 2021, had 100k on it have had nothing but repairs and problems, have had every major system replaced and or repaired. So far I have had the ac replaced 900, spark plugs and coils 500, ball joints 700, tires 1200, and just had the transmission rebuilt for 4k, now it's in the shop again because the transmission solenoid is broken. I am at my wits end I spent 28k on this truck at the dealership I still owe 16k at this point. Not sure how much longer I can keep up with these repairs. So might need to trade it in. Worst and most expensive car I've ever bought spent over 10k in repairs in 2 years, much higher than the expected 500 to 700 in repairs per year they tell you online. Much higher. I will never recommend this brand and make to anyone.

It's a decent truck. None worth what they cost.

The headrest sits too far forward, which causes me to lean into the center of the vehicle. It goes into 4 cylinder mode too often and strains the engine, which I frequently remedy by leaving the transmission in 5th gear at lower speeds. Engaging manual mode cause the transmission to downshift, which I don't always want it to do the moment I select manual. It gets good gas mileage for a V-8, I have gotten it up to 22.8 mpg. Interior lights are too dim, but I love the stereo. All in all not bad, but not a powerhouse like my 2008 6.0 was. I don't need all the luxury items, wish they would make more plain trucks and bring the cost down. I use it for work, which apparently is not a choice on this page.

Great truck with some bad

It is a great truck with great capabilities! although i must say, some of the technology in this car has its low points. Center stack tends to not cooperate during bluetooth pairing and the headlights have poor illumination to the point i had to retrofit LED bulbs for better visibility. Overall very comfortable ride and smooth drive

not a Loyal company

The vehicle that I looked at they said it had went to their shop and was checked out. When I looked underneath the vehicle transmission lines were leaking. And they said Leaky lines are OK. But in my experience if you don’t fix this it could cost you a transmission which is thousands of dollars they say it’s not their problem.
