Our truck is reliable and fun to drive.

2001 GMC Sierra 1500 SL

Our truck just has a few kinks to work out. A new rear end, axle, camshaft would do wonders to your truck. That is why we are saving to purchase the parts. Our truck is twin turbocharged, the sounds the turbos make when the truck speeds up is exhilarating. The inside of the truck is wonderfully spacious too, along with an amazing sound system. It is like having a party in your car!

Abs lights stay on the dash

2001 GMC Sierra 1500 SL

Don't like that the truck was only single exhaust. Having problem with the brake sensors so brake lights are on the dash all the time and recently the 02 sensor went out the doors are falling apart like the rubber seals are coming off. I don't like that you can feel every bump in the road in this truck either

The gas is very sufficient. Almost 30 miles a gallon

2001 GMC Sierra 1500 SL

I love my car, it's nice on the inside. It also has a lot of controls for the radio that allows me to Bluetooth. I have map navigation and also voice navigation. My car is gas sufficient, I get right around 30 mins per gallon.it's just a remarkable car and I would recommend this car to absolutely anyone
