It is high off the ground and we love how it handles .
I love my truck!!! I don't have any complaints about it. I just wish I could drive it more!

Exhaust brake. It helps slow my pick up down without using my actual breaks.
I have never had any issues with my pick up besides def system. But after I had it deleted I have had no issues. However I do wish I would have gotten a pickup with power seats. I hate that I am unable to adjust the height of my seat. This truck pulls my horse trailer great as well. You would never know it is back there! Very reliable hard working pick up.

Adaptable to my lifestyle.
This truck is perfect for my lifestyle. It is comfortable to drive, pulls a gooseneck horse trailer flawlessly, and had heated seats! I have been driving this truck for 6 years now and have barely had any issues (other than standard maintenance). I would definitely recommend purchasing a GMC.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Melanie O.

I feel safe in it. It's got lots of power and is able to go well in all weather. Plenty of room for family trips. Ability to haul items when needed. Option to be able to use a tow for recreational purposes.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Melanie O.

It can be difficult to park in certain areas due to the size so sometimes it's a walk to where you are going. It does not get very good gas mileage due to the size of the motor. Repairs can be pretty expensive at times as it is a diesel engine.
