This Year's Model Updates:

Reliability improvements for all Vortec V6 and V8 engines top the list of changes this year. Consequently, oil-change intervals have been extended to 7,500 miles. A traction assist feature is now available on two-wheel-drive V8 automatics, thanks to a new electronic throttle control system. Factory-installed OnStar, GM's mobile communications and security system, has been made standard with the SLT trim level. New this year is a 325-horse, all-wheel-drive performance version called the C3.

Pros:
  • Powerful V8-engine selections, handsome styling, comfy cabins.
Cons:
  • Spotty interior fit-and-finish concerns, premium brand carries a premium price.

  • Wish I bought the Tundra - 2001 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    At 900 mi It was in the shop for clunk/bang/vibration in the drive train. . after several annoying/time consuming attempts. GM bulletin (drive line clunk)#99-04- 02-002A. Not to be confused with the engine clunk/piston slap bul. This truck acts and sounds like the 1996 I sold prior. with 150,000 hard miles. Im finding out that there are many bulletins and dissatisfied customers with several of the 00/01/02 model yrs. It now has 10000 mi and Im sorry I ever bought it!!!

    THE 4.8 WILL NOT TOW ANYTHING. IT HAS TROUBLE PULLING ITSELF UP SMALL HILLS IN OVERDRIVE. POOR GAS MILEAGE.

  • Color mine yellow - 2001 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    What can I say...bought it in May, 02. In the shop four times by Sept. 1 02. Quality, workmanship, seems like it was just slapped together. GM has been no help.....preparing my lemon paperwork...brakes, cracked exhaust manifold, trans spline sheared off, starter failed, and for some reason the right side headlight has burned out 4 times since I bought it!
