What Owners Say
"very responcive"
Wayne M., MD (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Very fast on freeway. Pulls a boat like it is not there.. Up to 24 mgh on highway"
Anonymous, AR (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Good acceleration and it handles well for a pickup truck"
Fred M., ME (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"This truck has great power and the handling is really good very nice to drive"
Anonymous, OK (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Handles very well when towing"
Anonymous, MN (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"excellent power for a v-6 suspension & steering prove very good in turns"
Troy B., OH (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"I have the V6 engine and rarely pull anything. Acceleration is good and fuel efficiency is good too using the 2 cylinder cut-off during cruising speed."
Richard B., TX (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Seems a bit sluggish for having 355 HP."
Donald H., IA (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"The GMC Sierra has a large V8 motor and can out distance most vehicles on the road. It drives like the luxury pickup that it is. The only down part is the turning radius, but it is a very long vehicle."
Rick R., CO (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"big V8, but with the 4 cylinder option, gets great milage on the road"
Alec M., MI (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"This truck is easy to handle and responds well; accelerates well when needed, especially on highways."
Vern J., KY (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"This is the first truck I've owned with electronic steering. Was a little odd feeling at first, but after getting use to it, it is really a great system. Quicker response than hydraulic systems. The acceleration is great with the 5.3 engine. Tow a 6000 lb. horse trailer, and can't even feel the difference when there."
Charles R., CT (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Drives like a dream!"
John S., KY (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Has 6.2 V8 engine. Very powerful, great acceleration and highway gas mileage is around 21."
Wenzel-Mary S., WI (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Smooth ride, accelerates quickly, handles great. Seats are not terribly comfortable, but are finally breaking in after 57,000 miles."
Anonymous, WY (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"good power. very responsive"
Anonymous, MO (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Acceleration and handling is fine but gas milage is way below sticker prediction"
Anonymous, ME (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Great acceleration and handling. Has plenty of power to it"
Joaquin C., TX (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Handles beautifully. The Ecotec 6 engine has good acceleration and the 6 speed transmission with the tow setting performs very well."
Robert S., AZ (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Fairly quick for a large vehicle ands steers easily with little roll."
Edward O., WV (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Very smooth and comfortable ride"
Anonymous, AB (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Nice handling good power"
Anonymous, NV (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Handles great, good milage, especially on Interstate driving. Acceleration is immediate. Love to drive this, in fact my husband very seldom is "allowed" to drive"
LYN W., PA (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"The 6.2 engine give it the power needed to pass, pull, haul anything with ease."
Anonymous, TX (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"First it is a much better ride than my old F-150 King Ranch. It does not have the leather interior but this is not an issue as the seats are much more comfortable than the F-150. Gas mileage is a standout for me making just short of 20mpg. This truck has the feature of 2WD 4WD and on demand 4WD. During the early morning hours of Jan 23,2016 I was summoned by my daughter for assistance to get her to the hospital 25 miles away to have her baby. Since we were in the worst of Winter Storm Jonas ("bl"
WALTER L., PA (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"The GMC is our first brand new vehicle and we have literally no complaints. It drives like a car and it is easy to see out every window. I love the look of the vehicle and the handling on the road is great. We had Toyota Landcruisers in the past so we were pleasantly surprised how reliable this truck is. We put on about 40000-50000 km/year per vehicle since we live out of town on a grid road"
DENISE K., SK (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"18,000 miles out of the 24,000 presently on the truck were pulling a travel trailer to AK and CA. Did that very well, no problems."
PETER S., NH (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Good - exterior styling is very lean and robust. Definitely a guy's looking truck. The standard Eaton locking differential is also very good and provide impressive 2wd (rear wheel) traction in the wet. One draw back I had with my brand new truck was that with 9,000 miles on it, the rear axle seal, on the driver's side leaked! It was under warranty but nevertheless my case has to be the exception and not the norm."
JOSEPH H., AR (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"I expected the V-8 to have faster acceleration. My old V-8 was powerful and accelerated even at highway speeds without hesitation. The GMC seems to lag a bit."
Anonymous, CA (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"transmission difficulty finding the right gear. adjusting computer helped but needs more adjusting."
Anonymous, FL (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Like the vehicle, but the shifting between gears seems a bit rough."
Anonymous, OR (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Acceleration is very good and handling is terrific."
FREDERICK B., MT (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Lots of power to pull trailers in West Virginia. Best handling of any truck that I have had. I got my first truck in 1977"
DAVID G., WV (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"I am not happy how this vehicle shifts"
ANTHONY S., CT (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Has a noisey engine. Ticking noise. I thought it was a problem but they tell me it's normal. Apparently, lots of people have complained about the noise"
Anonymous, BC (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Great except the transmission has a tendency to slip. I have mentioned this every time I've had it in but they can't seem to find anything wrong."
JAMES C., TX (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Truck has loads of power. No hesitations. Steers and rides fantastic even with the Z71 package."
CHARLES R., CT (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)"Quietest and most solid ride of any pickup I've owned. I tow a 4500 lb. trailer frequently and the truck has adequate power to get the job done. Extremely happy with its performance."
Anonymous, TX (2014 GMC Sierra 1500)
"Excellent performance when towing. Acceleration is only average for large half ton pickups."
