What Owners Say
"Very good acceleration, good control even though I have a 2" levelling kit. Handy to have a large switch that is easy to use for kicking out the traction control in severe conditions."
Dave H., AB (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Great acceleration, cabin is easy to use controls easy to use."
Anonymous, PA (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"very quick for a vehicle of this size and weight. it handles very well especially when you have snow or other slippery conditions. The auto track feature gives you great piece of mind that the 4 wheel drive will kick in when and if required."
Richard C., ON (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Great handleing matching maching"
Anonymous, IL (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"It has a car like ride and adequate acceleration."
Daniel M., MI (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Excellent acceleration, very quiet and comfortable. Doesn't feel like a truck"
Linda C., CO (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Quick easy to drive"
Anonymous, FL (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"A six thousand pound pick-up that drives/handles like a performance vehicle but is far more comfy."
Anonymous, MI (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"While slowing to a stop and than accelerating you experience a hesitation and than a gear slection, at times it's a high gear and other times a low gear. Either way it is not a comfortable feeling."
Anonymous, NV (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Has a V8 engine which provides plenty of power for passing & towing"
Anonymous, NY (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Performance is very good. The drive train clunks occasionally, especially if you catch it in the wrong gear. At speed, gear changes are nearly seamless. It has sufficient power that it could probably spend more time in V-4 mode and get better mileage."
James M., OK (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Sure steering, great handling, more than adequate power."
Anonymous, MN (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"6.2 and the new automatic transmission has lots of snap with good gas mileage. Handles sweetly even pulling a heavy load"
Anonymous, MI (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Wonderful ride"
Bert M., MO (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"The 2015 GMC Sierra handles excellently. Maneuvering the vehicle is easy even when towing a trailer. The engine power is strong and steady."
Anthony C., GA (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Onstar!"
Anonymous, MI (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Transmission shifts roughly"
Jack R., TX (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Tows my 32’ trailer great"
Anonymous, CA (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Very well"
Anonymous, NC (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"OK but I miss my previous vehicle's V8."
Anonymous, KS (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"power and acceleration"
Reggie P., TN (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"The 6.2 liter engine pushes this truck faster than my GTO I had in the late sixties. It’s very responsive and fun to drive on the road. My gas mileage it better than my last Sierra that was equipped with the 5.3 engine."
Anonymous, IL (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Very powerful and smooth"
Anonymous, UT (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"I have the engine that switched to 4 cylinders as needed and it really produces great mileage for a four wheel drive truck. Kicking in the V8 is automatic and smooth."
Andrew C., OH (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"acceleration is good at all times"
Anonymous, TX (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"power"
Reggie P., TN (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Transmission shifts are not smooth, acceleration is adequate, handling ok."
John S., WI (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"The handling is not bad for a truck. It does have a tendency to hesitate when accelerating."
MICHAEL Z., AB (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"My Sierra has the 6.2L engine and the performance is awesome for a pickup."
JOSE G., TX (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Poor headlights, upgrade was required and GM changed the lights in 2016. Rough shifting and poor idle, required a new transmission. This vehicle has been a disappointment !"
Anonymous, AB (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"The 6.2 engine along with the 8 speed transmission has great acceleration, maintains highway speeds effortlessly even when pulling a heavy trailer. When running with no excessive load the mileage is almost as good or as good as those with small motors having less power."
DENNIS O., MI (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"Rough when down shifting coming to a stop. Seems to shift at inappropriate times. "clunky" at slow to moderate speeds."
JACK R., TX (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"I have this vehicle with the 6.2L with the 8 speed transmission, and it has awesome acceleration and better gas mileage than my F150 with the 3.5 Eco-boost."
ISA S., MI (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"420 horsepower , excellent acceleration, 23 mpg on the hwy at 80 mph"
WILLIAM C., TX (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"a little slow drives well"
Anonymous, MA (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"For a large, bulky truck the 6.2L V8 in my truck gets it moving. From a stop to 60 mph takes about 6 seconds. There is a little fishtailing that happens in wet or snowy conditions, but that is to be expected from a truck. The body lean in the corners is minimal due in part to the magnetic ride shocks."
Anonymous, MO (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)"The 5.3L V-8 is outstanding for towing my boat. Good fuel economy on the road, much improved over my older 2002 model GMC."
KARL W., TX (2015 GMC Sierra 1500)
"The acceleration power of the Sierra is great. Even pulling a 7200 pound RV the power is great. Handling is easy for driving and with parking."
