  Pricy? You get what you pay for! - 2002 GMC Sierra 1500
  By GMCfan - December 1 - 2:00 am

  The quadrasteer makes handling this truck a breeze in tight spots. I havent had it out of 4WS since I tried it. The seats are far more comfortable than my Ford Expedition EB. The ability to adjust the power lumbar support while driving is great. Plenty of power for passing, even while towing. This is, by far, the best truck Ive ever owned.

  Best Truck Ever - 2002 GMC Sierra 1500
  By Joe K. - October 22 - 11:13 am

  This truck was two years old, with 33,000 miles when I purchased it (Certified Used). I use this pickup on our family farm and to drive to work, resulting in 40K miles each year. This is the best truck, fantastic engine 5.3, great power reasonable fuel economy. No complaints with the 4WD, I use it frequently. Currently, the truck has over 200K miles, the service record is brief: 5 years old replace rear brakes (still have not replaced front brakes),6 years old replace battery just to be on the safe side, Fuel pump replaced at 175K miles, my fault for not ever replacing the fuel filter. At 180K had to replace the front UJoint. Plan to trade the truck in on a similar equipped 2008 model Sierra.

  Great Truck - 2002 GMC Sierra 1500
  By chance - August 30 - 10:00 am

  Z-85 suspension a little stiff for around town. Added dual exhaust and K&N filter. Gas mileage and performance improved with these additions. Average about 21mpg overall...Truck is a blast to drive & stock stereo is very good. Sound proofing is good; however, GMC could have located the emergency brake in better location. Overall no problems in 7 thousand miles...........

  Denali - 2002 GMC Sierra 1500
  By StarmanT - April 29 - 10:00 am

  This is an expensive truck, but everyday I drive it, I think this is worth it. The four wheel steering is awesome - parking lots are a snap! I pulled a UHaul trailor a few days ago - first with a Toyota Sequoia, then the Denali. Everything youve read is true. I did some quick lane changes and the trailor stays right behind the truck. My hats off to GMC on this truck. Outstanding job!

  Best PU on the road - 2002 GMC Sierra 1500
  By denali owner - April 11 - 11:00 pm

  This truck has the comforts of a car, and the abilities of a truck. Interior is comfortable, and it will haul and tow like nobodys business. 4 wheel steering is amazing! You can u- turn on the average city street and the manueverability in parking lots is unbelievable. Drive one. Try to drive something else. Enough said.

  Sierra Denali - 2002 GMC Sierra 1500
  By kimsli - February 23 - 10:00 am

  Vehicle rides and handles like a high- end SUV. Vehicle is very agile and maneuvers easily in traffic. All- wheel steering and ample power make trailering seem effortless.

  Great value - 2002 GMC Sierra 1500
  By Joe Winieiwcz - January 11 - 10:13 am

  Purchased used and in great shape. Runs strong and looks new. Fuel mileage is around 18mpg. This one has the 34 gal tank and a 373 posi rear. Fast acceleration and great braking. Trailering package stiffens the ride but it is a truck after all. Very pleased so far.

  A great truck - 2002 GMC Sierra 1500
  By Bob Woods - October 17 - 2:00 am

  This is a great truck, it performs as advertised and delivers 20 MPG at 70 MPH. It has the 5.3 and drags my 20 foot fifth wheel like its not back there. Will repost after one year. This is my third GM truck, my last one was an 88 and before that a 67.

  2002 GMC 1500 SLE - 2002 GMC Sierra 1500
  By Ray Teske - March 12 - 10:00 am

  If this vehicle got better gas mileage it would be a 12. Ive driven pickups as my primary vehicle for the last 9 years. They ride far better than a car, can carry whatever I need to carry, get me where I want to go in the worst weather imaginable, and they dont cost any more than a car, except for the gas mileage thing. Im a big man who needs room in a vehicle and these trucks give me that in spades. If you dont want to squeeze into a small car, get a truck.
