Location: East Central WI | Have driven them all and owed 3 GMC's since 1988. The 1995 GMC Sierra with the 5.7 was the best. Good mileage, very realiable, plenty of power & my first "new" truck. ran it for 200,000+ miles with no real problems. I now have a 2003 GMC 1500HD with the 6.0L gas engine. It likes gas, I get about 11-13MPG's pulling a 20' Crestliner 202 and 13-15 MPG's empty. It has 80,000 miles on it and has no significant repairs whatsoever & runs like a top & has a VERY nice ride. Awesome in the snow. I've maintained it well. It pulls the boat great and has plenty of giddyup and stops when it needs to. Having said that, I am looking at Fords & GMC's because I have always wanted one (a Ford) and they do make a great truck, especially lately. Might have to give the edge to Fords since they did not take the govt. money and toughed it out. The Ford sales guys tell me that the 3.7 Ecoboost and the 5.0 liter are almost identical. I just can't do a Dodge, too many problems. Honestly they are all good. Towing, mileage, etc. it really is almost a "horse a piece" these days. If you know of anyone looking to buy a 2003 GMC Sierra 1500HD with low miles.... I know a guy.... |
