Truck was built to tow/haul/plow. Has been used very lightly to do all.

2002 GMC Sierra SLE 5.3 from North America

Summary:

I know my next truck will be a GMC whenever this one quits

Faults:

My first wheel bearing at 189000.

General Comments:

This truck will tow anything, haul wood and drive in deep snow anytime.

It handles great, and I still have the original battery, the truck stays outside all the time in all kinds of weather, I keep it clean and looked after, and it still looks like new.

Very quiet to drive, a lot of power when needed, and braking is great, changed brakes at 92000 kms and they are still good now.

A lot of city driving; fuel mileage is 22 mpg when you treat it nice, mostly averages 19-20 mpg, but the way this things works, mileage is a minor thing to worry about.

My next door neighbour has a 03 Ford 150 with 75000 kms, and has more front end and leak problems, and he is kicking himself he did not buy a GMC.

It's great for taking the grand kids in the back, extended, they don't play with the doors.

2002 GMC Sierra SLT 5.3 from North America

Summary:

The worst vehicle you can buy

Faults:

Tow haul button the first day I had it.

Clunk when I turn the steering wheel. Told it was a U joint in the column.

Two blown heads due to micro fracture Castek heads. Look it up.

Two broken shackles.

Rusted brake lines.

General Comments:

I have owned GM products my whole life. I will never buy another one. I am telling as many people I can to steer clear of this brand. I have owned 10 GM products, and this one is the worst I have ever owned.

Our GMC is flawless at 80,000+ miles. Never a single repair. It even still has the original brake pads.

Now our Honda... THAT was a real nightmare! No domestic we've ever owned could hold a candle to Honda as the world's worst vehicle. Sorry you got a lemon, but it must be VERY RARE. Neither of our two current GM vehicles (2001 and 2003) has ever required a single repair.

2002 GMC Sierra from North America

Summary:

This truck is awesome, I'm keeping it until it doesn't want to run anymore

Faults:

The only thing that was wrong with this truck was a transmission cord that broke, but that was only a $100 fix at 201,000 miles.

General Comments:

This truck is awesome. Handles very well in the snow 4x4. I snow plow every winter. I beat the hell out of this truck and yet only 1 thing has gone wrong with this thing.

This truck is great. If you are kicking it around, do not hesitate to pick one up.

2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD SLT 6.6L Duramax diesel from North America

Summary:

One very awesome truck!

Faults:

A fuse had a loose connection so truck would not start. Took 2 days to find the problem.

General Comments:

I have the 2500HD SLT Extended cab, long box truck. Charcoal exterior and grey interior. It has the 6.6L Duramax diesel engine.

This vehicle does not have a quick off the line, but once you get going you are up to over 100 KM/H in no time.

The previous owner spent a lot of money on this truck as it has twin turbo's, 4" exhaust, Dual boost gauges. It is loaded with all most every option that was available at the time. As well as a sliding tunnel cover.

The leather seats are very comfortable and the seat heaters are awesome when it is cold out.

One of the downfalls of this truck is the leg room in the back seat. That is, there isn't much room if the front seats are 3/4 to 100% of the way back.
