Overview & Reviews
After a complete redesign last year, GMC's Silverado-based pickup finally gets a fourth door on the extended cab. There's also more power on tap from the 4.8- and 5.3-liter engines, increased trailer ratings and standard programmable automatic door locks. New factory appearance items, such as wheel-lip flares and a soft tonneau cover, are now available on some models.
- Powerful V8-engine selections, modern architecture, handsome styling.
- Spotty interior fit-and-finish concerns, premium brand carries a premium price.

2000 GMC Sierra - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
By Larry Newsome - May 27 - 2:00 amThe truck rides and handles well. Fuel economy is acceptable. I tow a 18 foot boat without any problems. But I use it primarily for transportation. I have about 41000 miles and lately I have noticed numberous body rattles. The exterior paint is not very hard, it scratches very easy.

Nice truck - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
By M & K - April 23 - 11:43 pmI like my truck. Pretty good gas mileage for a V-8 (about 18-21 city and 22-24 highway). Comfy ride. A few problems with the rear driveline. Had to replace both u-joints about 6 months ago and now it is squeaking and clanking again. Rear axle probably needs to be rebuilt. 3-rd door is nice, but back seat as a little smaller than Id like. Pretty good power and towing capabilities. Heater is bad- not very warm and I have to put it on high to even feel any air flow.

2000 GMC Sierra 1500 4 x 4 - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
By Mike - October 11 - 10:46 pmIve had my truck for 6 years, and I still love it. Its been a great work truck, and has the comfort of driving a car. Its been great in both the snow and mud, and has never had a problem. Its definitely a keeper. The only thing that I wish is that I would have gotten the rear window defogger, and the 4th door.

Great Truck - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
By ldiamo - August 24 - 7:23 amI have owned this truck for 9 years. Highway, city, offroad. Hot sun, freezing winters with heavy, deep snow and ice, and torrential rain. My version is a 4DR Extended Cab SLE Z71, 5.3L with custom cap and racks. This is a fabulous truck. Handles great and delivers fantastic performance under absolutely any condition and/or load. But it had growing pains: bad ABS brakes,and some electrical issues with power windows and doors, and extended cab hinges that didnt fit properly in cold weather. All fixed over time and the brakes are now very good(watch out for the door hinges, though.)Now in 2009 I am trading it for a Suburban Z71 for a roomier cab (family has grown). I will miss this truck.

I love my truck - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
By KRIS - July 24 - 9:56 amI have had my truck for 2 years it has about 150k miles on it and I have not had hardly any problems out of it what so ever. This has been a great truck all around. Im impressed with my gas miliage also I still get about 18-20 in the city and and 22-24 on the hwy I guess. For the age and mileage this is still wonderful. I would definitely buy another truck like this and recomend them to friends and family. I also can tell you that this truck holds its own in wrecks. I have been in 1 wreck in this truck and it held together very well better than some bigger trucks that I have seen! The damage and the cost of repair were pretty minimum for the wreck.

By Jay Dee - June 4 - 10:00 amGood truck. In 4 years, the only problem experienced was the power window on the passenger side quite working. It was covered under warrentee.

Wet Distributor Cap - No Ignition - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
By wfm - May 16 - 2:00 amBroke down in March 2003 with this 2000 GMC 1500 6 cyl pickup at 73000 km and had to be towed. The distributor cap acquires moisture buildup and kills the spark. I am the second owner so this may have happened before. The towtruck operator and other owners in this area of Eastern Canada said this is a common problem with the newer Chev and GMC pickups in our Canadian wet but cold and damp weather. My previous 1988 Chev went for 15 yrs without this problem. What did they change?

Great Truck, just wont stop! - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
By justin51 - May 5 - 12:20 pmThis is one heck of an awesome truck. Ive loved it from the day I bought it and still love it today. It has been a work truck from the day I took it home, and after 170,000 miles it still is going strong. Love the reliability of it, never have to worry about that. I find it a little wierd but I have never had to change anything, or even touch the brakes, and they still look great, I was told this was b/c of the 4 Wheel ABS/Disc system. I own the 4.8L V8 model and get "great" gas mileage for a full size V8 truck, especially loaded with tools. 15 city, and 21 hwy. These number came with the help of some aftermarket parts, like K&N filter, & better plugs and wires. I hope you enjoy yours.
