Dependability and reliability

I love this truck! I have had almost no issues with it. I got 50,000 miles on the factory original brakes and rotors. I got 60,000 Miles on the factory original tires. I had to replace a few light bulbs at 60,000 miles and the air conditioning condenser needed to be replaced.

Aaron O

It does an amazing job off road.

Its black with silver trimming. I have under 90,000 miles on it. I've had to replace my tires 3 times since I've bought it. My a/c is having a few problems. I go off roading as often as u can. I use it as my daily driver. I've had to replace the cv boots on it in the past year.

Mark N

GMC is awesome get one right now.

Has great acceleration, fair gas mileage. Great looks, the interior is elegant, matches my style. Smooth riding. Quiet on the road. Muffler and exhaust pipe tend to rust prematurely. Great radio and navigation system. You really get what you pay for. I am a happy owner.

Ken M

Gmc all terrain for the win.

I really love the space this truck offers for passengers and cargo in the 6.5 ft bed. The ride is smooth and has overall been very reliable. For a long truck it has been great on gas mileage compared to my old truck. I would recommend upgrading to the slt or denali because of all the creature comforts that standard once you reach these levels.

Brian V

It has both heated and cooling seats.

Does not show if you are in 4 wheel drive or not. The Sirius XM antenna does not work. The truck is good on gas and has an electronic system to use less cylinders when it does not need as much power, which really helps. The bells and whistles are really nice.

Michael S

2014 GMC sierra - ride in style.

I really love the quiet ride you get. The crew cab is very roomy and comfortable, even on long trips. It get close to 20 miles per gallon on the road. I also like the standard size bed. I can place a full 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back with the tailgate down with no overhang. The tailgate drops slowly and not hard. In addition, the rear bumper has side step inserts so you do not have to step all the way up on the bumper, but rather place your foot halfway up and the step into the bed of the truck. I am 61 and this makes getting in and out of the bed of the truck very easy.

Hazel J

Everything I need, more than I knew I wanted!

I really enjoy my GMC sierra 1500. I purchased it used with the nicest package of upgrades that I have ever had in a vehicle. Hands free, Bluetooth, leather heated seats, individual thermostats a Bose stereo and more make the cab of this truck a pleasant place to be. I have yet to drive a full winter in this trunk but look forward to the inside controlled 4wd. Being in the construction business the 6 ft bed with lots of tie offs has been a great advantage. It has 120,000 and runs like a champ. I love my truck!

Mary G

That it's made well and it's worth what I'm paying for it.

I love this truck it's roomy, classy and very comfortable. I especially like the color and how smooth it is to drive. Lastly It's very dependable and I don't have to ask friends or family to haul anything for me.

6.2 bad motor

I’m really disappointed on this truck the engine just broke down on me cost to fix 10,000 and gm doesn’t honor warranty i wouldn’t buy this truck again

David

Towing capacity

Do not understand why no one can tell me the exact towing capacity of my 2014 Sierra with the 5.3L crew cab long bed with 3:42 gearing!!!!!! Have asked 10 to 15 different places from on line to dealerships with answers from 5500 to 9800 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

john

Never buy this modle

It is on 2 transmission . Just changed 1 torque converter hoping it will not take it out again , i am not a hard driver. Shifts like c**p. Put aftermarket headlights in factory ones where bad at night. The paint is pealing off the primer . If i could go lower than 1 star i would

Clara P

Do not have anything good to say about my truck.

It has been a lots of recalls on my truck and some did not work when I was in a accident and I am glad I did not get hurt, I thank god, I paid cash for this truck if I had to do it all over again I would not buy this GMC I call the company and they did not do anything.

Dave C

Good truck, but has annoyances

Overall a very reliable truck. It's the small things that bother me. When you first turn the truck on, there's 5 very loud chimes, unless you have your seatbelt on before even starting the vehicle. No way to turn that off. When you have the key turned on for accessories, but the engine not running, the bell goes off continuous if you open the driver's door. It's obnoxious, and there's no bell if the back doors are open, which would be more useful. That being said, it's a good reliable truck that hasn't had any problems in the 2 years I've owned it.

Tony M

2014 GMC sierra questioning there reliability.

Always like GMC products had a little bad little bad luck with this one, transmission went out at 120000 miles. Other than that good truck comfortable ride. Bought the truck used so do not know what previous owner did. Could of just been poorly maintained, either way do not feel like transmission should have failed.

Marie Kooiman

Too many recalls

Great gas milage and comfortable ride. Has has a lot of recalls. Info center has gone out 4 times now. Was replaced after one year. Found a loose wire less than a year later. Went out again and they tried to fix it with an update that cost ne $150. Two weeks later its gone again. Gm will not admit there is a problem with the key fob being too close to the truck such as when you are camping. The info center dies not completely shut down and will eventually burn out.

Rodney

Not impressed with the electric break system

Great truck but I’m disappointed in the trailer electric breaks package, bought a new tandem axel boat and trailer last year to only find out the electric hydraulic breaks don’t function at all. A lot of extra money for something that doesn’t work and 6 years later I need trailer breaks and now I half to pay to get them to work. Very disappointed on GMC not putting in a better and more reliable system.

What Problems Does the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 Have?

The 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 series has more problems than any other model year, and major improvements show up on the 2016 model. Owners register more complaints than other half-ton trucks.

Headlight problems are the most common issue reported by owners. A flaw in the design of the light makes it significantly dimmer than the lights used in other model years. Most owners replace them with a 2016 or newer headlight assembly.

A/C problems are also brought up by owners. The condenser leaks and loses the ability to cool the cabin. Replacement for about $1,100 is the only way to solve the problem.

Electrical problems, including the engine shutting down while driving also happen on the 2014 Sierra. One owner reports replacing the fuse box fixes the problem, but others say they have not found a solution to the problem yet.

There are 21 recalls affecting the 2014 GMC Sierra, much worse than other trucks. Recalls include airbags, transmission position indicator, exhaust components, overheating, transmission oil cooler line, tie rods, warning chimes, transfer case, ignition lock, electronic power steering, and brake faults. All the recalls on the truck are very serious and can lead to mechanical failures.

What are the Prices, Models & Specs?

The 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 series is more expensive than other half-ton trucks, with a price range of $21,789 to $39,757, depending on the model and mileage. When new, the retail price was $26,075 to $51,765. Depreciation is average for a half-ton truck in current market conditions, losing about 25% of its value in the first 5 years of ownership.

Base is the entry-level model with 17-inch steel wheels, vinyl bench seating, a 3.5-inch driver information screen, and a 4.2-inch infotainment screen with USB and AUX connectivity, as well as a 4-speaker stereo system.
SLE appears next in the lineup and has 17-inch alloy wheels, cloth seating, Bluetooth connectivity, and a rearview camera.

Morgan W

Totally reliable. They only thing I have had to replace/repair at this point is a battery! The ride is quiet, it does well in rain and snow, it has plenty of towing power. It is a great vehicle.

Darby K

Yes reliable, no problems. There have been a couple recalls, but nothing major. Am considering purchasing another.

Jacob S

It is has been fairly reliable, some problems have appeared such as battery failure and ac failure. Other issues have come from auto shop such as loose oil filters and not charging refrigerant at proper level.

Crystal V

The 2014 GMC sierras extremely reliable. I have had it for 6 years now and never had any major problems with the vehicle!

Cari B

The only thing we do not love about the truck is the lack of heater vents in the back seat, and if you use the air conditioned seats in the front, hot air blows into the back seat.

Lisa A

The 2014 GMC Sierra-1500 is very reliable. We've made a couple of trips in it and haven't had any problems. We love it!

Jorge O on June 9, 2021

Great truck, very reliable, great ride.

Great truck. Very reliable. Excellent features (navigation, reverse camera, OnStar, Sirius XM) to name a few. Good gas mileage for 4 door crew cab. Smooth ride and quiet as well. Have had some recalls but nothing major. Had two repairs to air conditioner, both of which are pretty common to this type of vehicle. Several upgrades and aftermarket accessories available for this type of vehicle. Engines in these vehicles are very reliable.

Alicia R on June 6, 2021

2014 GMC sierra w/ air conditioned / heated seats.

We have absolutely loved this pickup. The air conditioned seats/heated seats were such a nice feature that we did not know that we wanted! It is a quiet truck while it drives. Gets great fuel mileage for a truck as well! It hauls things smoothly. We have not had any problems with it in the year and a half that we have owned it. The only thing we wish we would have done was gotten a little bit longer of a box instead of just the standard size. We have three kids all in car seats so the cab is a bit snug but that is to be expected. My husband changes the oil regularly, but other than that it has not needed any repairs.

Dave M on June 4, 2021

2014 GMC sierra slt review and recommendation. Worth a look!

The GMC brand is a step above the others. The cabin is quiet, instrument panel detailed and ride is smoother than the others I test drove. The slt model I purchased is perfect for the money. I would recommend anyone interested in a solid, dependable and long-lasting truck to consider the GMC sierra slt.

Tay R on May 25, 2021

Nice and comfy truck that is reliable and sturdy.

The vehicle in my opinion is very reliable and sturdy. The whole time owning the car haven't had many problems with the vehicle well nothing I could not fix myself at home. I love to drive this vehicle and travel in it I've went on multiple long road trips in the vehicle and driven it on some tough terrain.

Jamie S on May 9, 2021

Great buy with all I need in power looks and capability.

The only problem I am having is with my brakes at low speed like while backing into a parking spot in a parking lot. Other than that I get great gas mileage with luxury yet rugged capability. More than enough room for my family, or the dog and fishing gear.

Jorge A on April 24, 2021

Exceptional value and dependability for the price.

Great vehicle. Reliable, good on gas mileage. No major issues. GMC vehicles seem to hold their value pretty good so should get a fair price when I sell or trade it in. Next vehicle will be same model just newer version. The engine and transmission on theses models are very strong and dependable.

Laura Z on April 23, 2021

The smart truck computer features are awesome.

I've had to already replace tie rod, brakes, the air doesn't work and traction control keeps sticking. Won't purchase this make again. The computer isn't smart. Gas mileage is ok and I enjoy the Bluetooth. And satellite capabilities. Next purchase will most likely be a smaller truck. I travel a lot just to work and it isn't cost effective.

Marie B on April 13, 2021

Good truck, great value. GMC.

I have had no issues with my vehicle! I absolutely love it. The only thing is I wish I would have got the crew cab so the back seat was more spacious but other than that it is a great truck and does what it needs to do! I would totally recommend a GMC to my friends and family.

Caleb T on April 11, 2021

V6 versus v8 2014 GMC sierra.

I have a 2014 GMC sierra 1500 base model extended cab. It has a v6 engine. Gas mileage and ride quality are great, but it lacks power. I would recommend getting a v8 sierra versus the v6 for that reason. I have had no other issues with my sierra other than not having the amount of power that I would like.

Nathaniel G on April 10, 2021

2014 GMC sierra review, what to know before you buy.

Very comfortable ride, transmission can be a little funky so before you but it make sure one of your conditions is that the transmission gets serviced. Make sure you keep up on the recommended service schedule and you should be all good and gets great gas mileage.

Kari D on March 25, 2021

It is a full sized truck even being a 1/2 ton with it being a crew cab it feels big and has plenty of comfort to go along with

I have a crew cab which was a must for my family, we can easily fit 6 people and go on long rides while I bought it used it was a CPO so this thing is like brand new with so many comforts.

William H on March 24, 2021

Pretty sports truck for work or play.

All the bells and whistles, lots of power, attractive design, comfortable to drive. Do not know that I would change much in terms of design. I have the bigger engine offering so it drinks a lot of gas. I would probably enhance the hands free capabilities and provide more apps, such as apple play etc.

Lyndsey K on March 18, 2021

Great truck for the family. Can fit my husband, me, 2 teenagers and a toddler.

I love all features about this vehicle. I am short and can adjust the height of the seat. Tells me my tire pressure. Gets good gas mileage for a bigger truck. It has a couple of recalls. But the dealer dealt with them quickly and efficiently. Overall very happy with the vehicle.

Neil on March 15, 2021

Like this truck but the repairs just keep on happening.

My 2014 GMC Sierra crew cab has had some issues. 60,000 k presently. Heated seats failed, $1300, engine oil cooler located within radiator failed and oil leaked into antifreeze so radiator and all hoses had to be replaced along with 3 flushes which cost $3300. Dealer reported now that oil cooler lines are starting to leak so will be $450 to replace. Uses 1litre of oil every 1300 k or so. Considering selling it and going into a Dodge Ram Hemi. My friend owns one with 170k on it and has had zero issues. I take very good care of my vehicles so didnt expect these issues.

Brian T on March 8, 2021

Great truck, very reliable, however not great miles per gallon.

These trucks are very nice looking and generally have no issues. I liked adding a cover on the back (I have a soft cover but the hard ones are nice too). Miles per gallon is not that good at 17 miles per gallon. They do look very nice and reliable with proper maintenance, I expect to get 200,000 miles out of my truck.

Ken M on March 7, 2021

Gmc all terrain for the win.

nichole e on February 25, 2021

The LED lights, the color and the tailgate drops and closes with ease.

She's a beauty! Never any issues and real smooth riding. I get compliments daily! Oil changes are pricey but expected

Tony B on February 18, 2021

Cruises down the road with style and reliability.

Love the way it performs in rural areas. It allows me to haul equipment and livestock. The gas mileage is good and it has features that keep me from being stranded. It also has enough interior space for my job and family and pets. This vehicle fits well with my lifestyle and meets my needs without much effort. It has also had little or no major issues which required expensive repairs. Basic maintenance is all it has required.

Daniel V on February 14, 2021

The GMC sierra is a great vehicle for any newly families.

The reason my wife and I chose this vehicle is because it was a very good price and the back seat was a good size to fit the car seats in and not feel like our kids were not safe. It has been a truck to suit all my needs. I love doing woodwork and I have no problems pulling a trailer across states with everything running smooth. Gas is a lot more expensive than our last vehicle but it is still worth it because of the versatility of having a truck.

Charles R on February 6, 2021

Lots of room. Comfortable ride. Holds its value well.

I love how much room the cab has. I have comfortably driven 9 hours in it before. My only qualm is with the settings that switches it from v4 to v8. You can feel the shift. And this novel is notorious for the cams going bad. But I've not had any issue with that as of yet.

Amber J on February 4, 2021

Strong, reliable and safe.

Super reliable vehicle. This truck has driven across the country and back. I have owned this truck since 2014 and she stroll drives like a beast! If you are looking for a comfortable, safe and reliable vehicle that you know will take you where you need to go for many years, I highly recommend this one. Our family always owned GMC vehicles and this is by far my favorite one.

Trey T on January 30, 2021

I love the truck. Prolly one of the best I have had.

After having it for a few months the ac went out and it is very common for them to go out. Also, would not recommend lowering this type of vehicle BC it starts to squeak really bad, and I have yet figured out what it was. Still drives fantastic although of the squeaky noise it is making.

Preston D on January 16, 2021

The lift kit has to be the best part

2014 4x4 GMC Sierra with a 6 inch suspension lift and 35 inch tires with 20 inch rims and fender flares

Brenda R on January 10, 2021

If your wanting a big truck just be prepared for the gas. It can get a kind of expensive even just driving to home and work.

I like that its very has a lot of room inside. I love that it is four doors. I have fallen in love with the reverse camera can't drive a vehicle anymore that doesn't have one. Also l like how everything in its automatic. So far I have no complaints and I've owned the vehicle for more than a year already.

Jason K on January 6, 2021

This truck is great for families that are looking for a lot of room for people and luggage transport.

I like that it's a newer model with better gas mileage than a lot of other trucks. It has a great built in NAV system and backup assistance features. It also comfortably seats 6 people which is great for travel. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a lot of towing capacity.

Brian S on December 27, 2020

Feels & drives like a car.

Very reliable car but had brake and ac issues, runs so smooth and quite or a truck. Also had some rattle noises from the steering wheel but dealership wasn't ever able to fix the issue. Love the sterling of the truck and the handling. Drives like a car.

John F on December 25, 2020

GMC trucks are reliable and offer a comfortable ride.

I love the comfortable interior of my truck. The multi media is very easy to use. GMC trucks are very reliable.

jorge m on December 21, 2020

It's only 6 cylinder it has over 280 lean mean horsepower it does the work of a V8 but at a more affordable economical gas mileage

My GMC Sierra is a reliable, comfortable, powerful work truck as well as a comfortable reliable driving vehicle. I use it for a lot of odds and ends. I enjoy the comfort, I enjoy the look, and I enjoy the gas mileage I will keep upgrading to newer vehicles of this type of model I love Chevy products.

Justin H on December 7, 2020

Perfect size truck. Plenty of power.

Plenty of power and is very easy to drive. The ac seats are a must have and the backup camera makes life easy. The steps in the bumper make it easy to get in the bed of the truck. It does not get good gas mileage in town but interstate driving it does pretty good.

Luis P on November 30, 2020

My vehicle is pearl white.

I have had my vehicle for about 3 years now with very little difficulty on keeping it maintained. The only problem that I have had these last couple of years is the airbag. Since I got the vehicle I have been receiving notices in the mail that it has been recalled.

Shawn V on November 30, 2020

2014 GMC sierra 1500 sle double cab.

It has been a very reliable vehicle. I purchased it used. Extremely rusted already. Not what I would have expected for a four-year-old vehicle. Seems to be a very typical problem with the same year. So far just basic maintenance required. However the engine does have some sort of issue with oil consumption. If it were not for the rust and the oil consumption I would have given a 5.

Tony R on November 29, 2020

Awesome stereo and luxury features.

I love the features in this truck. The Bose stereo system is amazing! It also has a heated steering wheel. Love the display, Bluetooth, diagnostics, OnStar, etc. It also has leather seats and lots of room inside. The seats go up and down easily in the back. The bed of the truck is a good size for hauling things.

Ernie B on November 25, 2020

It is a good running truck that looks sharp and is roomy.

Love it. It is roomy. It rides good. It sits up high.

Hazel J on November 24, 2020

Everything I need, more than I knew I wanted!

Sarah R on November 5, 2020

2014 GMC Sierra Denali 4X4

I love my 2014 GMC 1500 Denali pickup. It has a ton of room. The leather seats are very comfortable, it has all of the amenities you could ask for. The ride is smooth. The pearl white color is beautiful. I love all of the functions on the steering wheel as well.

don H on October 30, 2020

That it has a lot of space inside.

My truck is very smooth riding. It is great on gas, has lots of cargo room. Great for hauling a trailer. It has plenty of passenger space.

Kari R on October 26, 2020

Comfort and style are number one with this truck while still being rugged enough to work

I like the space and comfort of the truck just wish the pedals moved towards you so I wasn't so close to the steering wheel when I'm driving as I'm short and the passenger seat needs lumbar support other than that it's a great truck!

Code S on October 23, 2020

The trucks that stand the test of time and power.

This is my 5th GMC sierra in 20 years. These trucks stand up to quality. I have never had any issues with these vehicles. They perform for what I use them for. My last truck was a 2005 and had 205k miles on it and the only thing I ever needed to replace on was the oil on it is scheduled maintenance. This newer truck being a 2014 model has really outdone itself with all the features it offers but at the end of the day it is still a truck mentioned for hauling. I'll be buying again soon.

Tim E on October 8, 2020

2014 GMC sierra 1500 sle double cab.

This is a great pick-up truck! The gas mileage is great. There's plenty of cargo room, even with a full-size truck-bed tool-box installed. It is the first vehicle I have had with power locks and windows which is definitely a plus! Having a vehicle equipped with Bluetooth and XM radio capabilities has been a game-changer. I rarely listen to what I call 'terrestrial' radio anymore. Drivability is very good with great suspension, steering, and virtually no blind spots. Really my only complaint is the transmission. When I am stopping it seems as if the vehicle downshifts very rough.

Jeremy D on October 4, 2020

Very nice truck, but no nav

Truck rides like a Cadillac. Love the interior. There is plenty of room inside and in bed. The only problem I have with it is that there is no navigation unless you want to pay$35/month for on star nav.

Aaron D on October 2, 2020

The benefits of owning a full size truck.

So far the truck has been great. Has plenty of room for passengers as well as good cargo room in the bed. I mainly use it for towing my at which it does well at. The only issue I have had is the actuator for the 4 wheel drive malfunctioned and was not cheap to fix.

I love the touch screen and how the truck drives.

The ac stopped working a month ago I am not sure why. If it is pretty new. Also the headlights we seem to replace them to often. And last thing this the second time we have to replace the buttons one side because the windows do not go down. Other than that I love my truck.

Great vehicle. Fully loaded slt model with four wheel drive.

No problems so far. Comfort is great. Blind spots are apparent from the driver's seat and the view from over the hood is diminished. The back up camera is a huge plus and the leather heated and cooled seats are a benefit. Performance is great. Power is good. I do not pull trailers regularly with it but it would have enough power to do that.

I love my 2014 GMC sierra.

I love my truck, it is very reliable! She always gets me where I need to go and I never have a issue out of her! She always rides smooths and she always seats well! I love GMC. It never gives me any trouble or problems and she’s amazing! GMC amazes me, their works is very efficient!

Do not have one. It is overall a great truck.

Very good when taken off road. Rides extremely smooth like I am floating on a cloud. Tires are not loud while driving on the highway. Stock sound system is absolutely phenomenal. The tailgate has a lot of space for when I really like to go camping in the mountains just me and a few of my friends.

A GMC with air conditioned seats.

Comfortable leather seats. Love that the seats are heated but also air conditioned. Built in navigation on a decent size screen. It would be nice if it would update automatically but have to update with a DVD or USB drive and it costs every time. Has Sirius XM radio built in with OnStar also.

Best farm truck we've ever owned.

Love the quality of my interior. It has withstanded life on a farm (horses and livestock) without looking beat up. My biggest complaint is that even with low mileage (66k on a 6 year old truck) and routine maintenance we’ve had fuel lines replaced, power steering failed, and several recalls. Otherwise the truck still looks and runs like it did the day we drove it off the lot.
