Jan 22, 2022

The 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 is a half-ton truck with a price range of $20,002 to $31,698. Prices are higher than the competition, but excellent reliability, and a low number of complaints make the 2013 model a good choice for shoppers.

likeFilled The Good
A more luxurious and refined interior than competitors, long-term reliability is better than newer models, and the Sierra has a smoother suspension than other full-size trucks.
dislikeFilled The Bad
The technology is very outdated even on higher-end models, the base V6 engine is weak, and they are more expensive than other half-ton trucks.

2013 GMC Sierra 1500: Quick Overview

  • New features are minor and include Sonoma Red and Heritage Blue paint colors. 2013 is the final model year before a redesign in 2014.
  • Reliability ratings are great, according to J.D. Power, and there are fewer problems than other full-size trucks from the same year.
  • Four engine choices are available, including a large 6.2L V8 with class-leading power.
  • Fuel economy is good and ties for 2nd place out of 7 rated trucks with a combined rating of up to 17 miles per gallon.
  • Safety ratings are average for a truck, getting a four-stars out of five in government crash tests.
  • Owner reviews place the 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Series in 12th place out of 15 full-size trucks. The Sierra 1500 Series does all that a half-ton truck should, but is an outdated choice.

It is durable and reliable but also steerable!
I like how it meets all my needs, the way it rides smooth. I also like the look of it as it sits parked. I love my sunroof and the heated and cooled seats. The rear view mirror is also a great addition with the back up cam in it. The bed can hold a lot of stuff which is also a plus.

The most reliable and best running truck on the market.
My truck is very reliable. I haven't had any problems out of it. I will definitely be a repeat customer and plan on purchasing another GMC Sierra soon. The currently have the old extended cab model. That is my only problem with the truck. I wish it was a true crew cab so I would have more room in the backseat but other than that I love my vehicle.

GMC truck for families plus work.
Great truck in all aspects. Mileage was amazing when purchasing and driving across states. Color option makes the truck stand out along with it is performance. Haven't experienced problems with it yet because we take good care of it at all times. Would highly recommend GMC for vehicle purchases.

Great quality truck with lots of bells and whistles!
Love my GMC sierra truck. Runs great, quad cab, lots of room inside, never had any issues. V8, backup camera, pretty blue color. Sits up nice and high. Great to haul things in. Tinted windows, runs smooth on the highway. Doesn't get great gas mileage but what truck does.

Don’t buy gmc c**p trucks! Cost too much to keep on the road! Over $14000 to get truck to 141000 km then transmission failure . Just outside km warranty. They dont stand behind their trucks. Just junk!

The driver side cannot open window on the passenger side.
The 2013 GMC sierra runs well / stable at high speed. However, the vehicle does not have automatic features such as window control (that is while driving the driver cannot open / close the window on the passenger side). And the 2013 GMC sierra is a full size pickup which is for business purpose, not for pleasure driving.

Do not buy a gmc truck!!
New sierra in 2013, $50000. Now have to park it as c**p!! Over ten thousand dollars in the truck since new just to keep it running.Including two transmission gaskets.

GMC Sierra Review - is it worth the gas money?
This is a great truck. In my experience ( I bought it used at the end of 2015) it has been extremely reliable with little maintenance needed. The only reason I am looking for a new car now is because I drive a lot, don't have a true need for a pickup's bed, and gas is getting very expensive.
accountCircle Marcel E
The best part about the truck is that it uses flex fuel.
The ac gives out every now and then after a few weeks... It starts to work again. I cannot leave the interior lights on for too long or else my battery will drain. There is a problem with the check engine being on all the time and when the tires and balanced and rotated, the truck still need an alignment.

What Problems Does the 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 have?

The 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 is a good choice for shoppers looking for a used truck, with fewer complaints than the competitors. There are significantly more problems in the redesigned 2014 model.

Peeling paint is the most common issue owners have. When any layers fail then the paint peels off easily. Repainting the affected areas is the only way to fix the problem and can cost over $1,000 depending on the panel.

A cracking dash is another frequent problem. When the truck is parked outside frequently, the heating and cooling cycle causes the dash to expand and contract, eventually leading to cracks. Replacing the dash costs around $700.

Excessive oil consumption is another issue mentioned by owners. If there are no leaks, then the best thing to do is just make sure there’s enough oil in the engine regularly to prevent damage to the components.

There are six recalls affecting the truck, better than other vehicles from 2013. The recalls include shifting out of park, transfer pump failures, safety labels, fire extinguishers, and airbags. Most serious is the transmission shifting out of park, which can cause the truck to roll away.

What are the Prices, Models & Specs?

The 2013 GMC Sierra’s six options-packed trims feature four engine choices. The 2013 Sierra 1500 series is more expensive than other full-size trucks, with a price range of $20,002 to $31,698, depending on the mileage and model. When new, the price range was $23,590 to $49,580. Depreciation is better than average in current market conditions, dropping only 15% over the first five years.

  • Work Truck is the entry-level fleet-focused model with 17-inch steel wheels, vinyl seating, OnStar, and an AM/FM/CD stereo with AUX input jack.
  • SL is next in the lineup and adds power windows, keyless entry, cruise control, and front driver lumbar support.
  • SLE is a step up with 17-inch alloy wheels, cloth seating, auto-dimming, rearview mirrors, leather steering wheel, and power outlet.
  • SLT adds some luxury with 18-inch chrome wheels, leather seating, remote engine start, Bose stereo system, and heated 12-way power-adjustable front seats.
  • Denali is the flagship model with 20-inch chrome wheels, upgraded leather, a larger engine, improved suspension for a smoother ride, an infotainment screen, rearview camera, and navigation.

accountCircle Jason R

So far it is very reliable. I have not had any problems other than my very critical eye on feeling it is a bit under what I am used to in terms of heavy duty. I will definitely by the 2500hd next time. Only due to personal preference.

What Engine Options are Available?

The 2013 GMC Sierra 1500’s four engine options won’t wow drivers of this painfully average pickup. Performance is good for a half-ton truck, with the largest engine, the Sierra goes from 0 to 60 in 7.5 seconds. The towing capacity is lower than some competitors, and is 9,600 pounds when properly equipped.

  • The base engine is a 4.6L V6 with 195 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque.
  • An upgraded 4.8L V8 is available and has 302 horsepower and 305 lb.-ft. of torque.
  • Next in the lineup is the 5.3L V8, which has 315 horsepower and 335 lb.-ft. of torque.
  • The flagship engine is available on the Denali model and is the 6.2L V8 which produces 403 horsepower and 417 lb.-ft. of torque.

What Color Options are Available?

How Big is the Sierra 1500 Series?

The 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 series is a half-ton truck, and is similar in size to other competitors. Depending on the configuration, the Sierra may have trouble fitting into residential garages. Three cabin choices are available including a two-door standard cab, four-door extended cab, and larger four-door crew cab. There’s plenty of passenger room in the backseats of the crew cab, but is cramped in the extended cab. Three bed options are available as well in five-foot-eight-inch, six-foot-six-inch, and eight-foot lengths.

How Does the 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Compare to Other Trucks?

The 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 ranks 12th out of 15 full-size trucks, based on owner reviews, and is near the bottom of the class.

The highest-rated half-ton truck is the Toyota Tundra, which is a more expensive choice. The Toyota has better reliability ratings, and a more powerful base engine. Comfort, towing capacity, and interior materials are better in the GMC. Overall, the Tundra is a longer-lasting truck, but if you need to tow, the GMC is a better choice.

Another competitor is the more affordable Ford F-150. Where Ford stands out is with better technology, reliability, and a higher towing capacity. The GMC has nice interior materials, and smoother suspension. Between the two trucks, the F-150 is a more up-to-date choice, and wins the competition.

Can seat up to six people at a time.
My truck seats 6 people which is great for a bigger family. It has plenty of space and we still have space for all of our stuff in the back. The only downfall is that the aux outlet in the truck goes out in it fairly fast. It drives very smooth and has other little storage spaces for the smaller stuff you would like to bring on a trip.

I really like my truck. I have had it for 3 years and have very little problems with it. I got it with about 85,000 miles on it and I have never had an issue with the engine, transmission, etc. The GMC is a very reliable truck company and I would absolutely encourage others to buy it. This is the best truck I have ever driven and I wouldn't want to drive any other truck. I have driven plenty of other trucks but this one is by far my favorite. Whether you are hauling loads, driving long distance or do all sorts of things with it. This truck is amazing and I will drive this brand of truck for the rest of my life.

I bought this vehicle with 38,000 miles on it in November 2015. It currently has 123,000 and still works great! I have had the oil changed and serviced every time the warning comes up in my dashboard.

Great truck purchase of 2016.
Our GMC has great pick up. It is great when we need to haul items to and from our house, such as furniture from the store or an estate sale or making a neighborhood dump run. It has an extended cab so we are able to take it on trips to see our adult children. The space in the extended cab is spacious enough for groceries on grocery shopping day. It had a step on it making it easier to get in and out of. We had seat warmers installed which comes in handy on the cold winter nights. The seat warmers have 2 settings, low and high. It does not take long for them to warm up the seats. It has a bench front seat so we can fit 6 people in for short distances. It has a towing package. This is great if you need to tow your fishing boat. The rear backup camera is on the rear view mirror which is small and hard to see things accurately. Although it is not set up for Bluetooth for hands free driving, you can plug your phone in using a special cord and your phone call comes through over the speakers, like the hands free device. You can also use this special cord and play music from your phone through the speakers. This is a very reliable vehicle that gets decent gas mileage. I would recommend the GMC sierra to our friends and family based on the positive experience we have had in driving hours.

Tire sensor stabilitrak, abs, traction control.
My truck is a GMC 1500 4x4. It gets about 14. 9 mpg average. It drives and handles great. I have owned this vehicle this vehicle for 2 years. I bought it used at a dealership. So far, no mechanical issues. The only problem I have had was when I got a nail in my front tire. My husband put on the spare which was a 17" wheel and my truck has 20"wheels. On my way to work the next morning, the rim cut through the tire sensor wire and my stabilitrak, abs system and traction control went out. It scared me, but my truck was still drivable without any issues. The part to fix it was $13. 00 on amazon. Other than that no issues. Also if you put a leveling kit in it, you have to get it aligned.

The Smart Engine feature lets the truck cruise on 4 cylinders. It takes both regular gas and Flex Fuel. It is a very comfortable ride, and I enjoy driving it.

Do not buy a gmc truck!!
New sierra in 2013, $50000. Now have to park it as c**p!! Over ten thousand dollars in the truck since new just to keep it running.Including two transmission gaskets. Now 141000 km transmission failure . Most models have this problem. Do not buy a gmc!! You will only experience disappointment. Work used to use the same truck, over twenty years driving gmc junk. Do not buy a gmc truck

My trucks the good and a little bad.
The only problem is the truck rims. They seem to leak air. Two of the four have been tested and two leak. I am considering adding tubes into the tires. The truck has been trouble free. Runs strong with a lovely ride. The truck is quiet and comfortable to drive.

My truck is a Texas edition so the wheels are my favorite part.
I like my truck but the transmission is starting to slip, and I think it will go out soon. The molding on the side is also starting to fall off and it is leaving glue on the side of my doors. The only other thing worn with it is I wish it could get better gas mileage.

Good used work truck GMC sierra.
I really like it, bought it used a few years ago and put 90k miles on it and it still runs good. Had problems with the tailgate but it is a work truck so that is to be expected. The interior is nice as well as the body shape. It is decent on gas and rides well when towing or on the highway or both. All in all it's a great truck and I would recommend it to anybody who needs a reliable work truck.

Summarize of my beautiful car.
My gmc is a really good car for pretty much everything, snow, rain, dirt, etc. The only downside is that it loses gas really quickly. It has a big trunk that can fit lots of things, very comfortable seats, lots of space, and many more. But overall I love the car but do not like how much gas it takes up.

Burns oil, especially when traveling long distances.
Very reliable. Few problems. Issues with the stereo and burns oils but other then that. No problems. Love it.

It is a very reliable, safe and comfortable truck.
My truck is very dependable. It drives well in the bad weather. I dislike the gas mileage it gets! Overall, it is a great truck.

‘13 GMC sierra review 2020.
Very comfortable and reliable. Driven daily and gets me where I am going safely. Color black with nice sized rims with 78,000 miles and does well for working in the woods. Long, wide bed carries lots of work material. Wouldn't give it away for anything.

It is very reliable and I have not had any mechanical issues in five years.
I love how spacious it is inside. It fits me and my three daughters comfortably. I do not dislike it at all.
