Overview & Reviews

The big news for 2004 is the addition of an all-new light-duty 1500 Crew cab model with a five-and-a-half-foot bed that replaces last year's 1500HD model. The Work truck package is now available on all Sierras, while base models get standard cruise control along with a chrome grille, wheels and bumper. Other changes include newly designed 17-inch wheels on 4WD models, the deletion of the Professional package and a Quadrasteer package that is now available without additional trailering equipment.

• Roomy extended- and crew cab models, strong V8 engines, innovative features.

• Spotty fit and finish, low-grade interior materials.

  Good Truck - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
  By timmarcy - October 16 - 10:00 am

  I’ve wanted one of these since I was 15 and used to walk to the dealership and gawk at them. I’m 25 now and can finally afford to…well, um…finance one. I’m gad to say I haven’t been disappointed. After all of GM’s rebates their trucks are only slightly more reasonably priced. Good MPG for a large truck. Glad I got the 5.3. Even in an extended cab 4 adults can ride comfortably. Good off road capability. Quiet interior. Leather seats are very hardy. Only complaint is the cheap dash board. Where does GM get all this plastic??? I’ve had my truck 6 months and 8000 mi with no problems. I plan on keeping her till the wheels fall off.

  This truck is more than worth the money. This truck has performed all of the light duty work that I have needed without any problem. The payload capacity is excellent as well. I highly recommend this truck.

  Best vehicle Ive ever owned! - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
  By John Z - December 15 - 6:40 pm

  Absolutely, without a doubt the best truck I will ever own! 168,000 highway miles. Just replaced the original brakes at 167,000. Regular maintenance, oil changes, fluids, etc every 3 to 5K. No bells and whistles, this is a work truck, a darned good one! I get about 19-20 mpg on highway, Ill take it and not look back. Forget interior/exterior design...who cares? I wanted dependability. I got it. A great truck!

  2004 Sierra Denali - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
  By mabco - November 13 - 2:00 am

  This truck is extremely inpressive. After 15 years of driving a BMW I wanted something totally different and fun to drive - the Denali is all I hoped it would be in a full-size truck. People notice it and it turns heads. The QuadraSteer is an absolute must and is everything you hoped it would be - simply amazing. With dealer incentives and some negotiation, the Denali can be had for around $34,600 - this makes it an incredible value. If youre in the market for a top-of-the-line full size truck, the Sierra Denali should be at the top of your list. A great truck.

  Pleasant Surprise - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
  By Massive Mike - March 1 - 2:00 am

  e have only had this vehicle for one week, but I love it. We opted for the GMC over the Chevy Silverado based on appearance. The GMC looks like a truck. It is incredibly fast (5.3 litre V-8) for a 4 wheel drive truck. It is comfortable and the ride and handling are very nice. This truck is fun to drive. So far so good. We love it!

  Sierra Upgrade - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
  By Schodack Bassman - January 13 - 10:00 am

  Upgraded from a 01 Z71 SLE to the 04 Z71 SLT. I like a lot about the new one. The leather, adjustable seats, sound system, XM, looks, HVAC, dimming outside mirror, heated mirrors (live in upstate NY). What I miss-inside storage my 01 had, the overhead console, the extended chrome accent on the side, the red gmc on the wheels. Some short cuts were taken I think. The last thing is the wind blows this one around while the 01 was rock solid. Different front maybe? I still love the truck and would buy no other make.

  2004 extended cab 4x4 auto 4.8 auto - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
  By spayce - December 2 - 10:00 am

  i said i would never buy another truck from gm since my 87 but there made a little better now and it helps with the frame being painted, you buy the vehicle new with a rusted frame and rear axel,an improvement.but overall i like the truck except for the sloppy drive-train and slow shifting tran-ny. anyone else notice the clunking in the drivetrain?

  Sierra 04 - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
  By cminer - July 2 - 2:23 pm

  I traded an 04 Chevy Colorado. The Colorado was a little too small. The Sierra is pretty nice. Highway mileage is 18-19 and city is around 15mpg. I bought a sport-side because it looks good. I knew the bed was obviously smaller but the main drawback of the small bed is the lift over when you are standing on the side of the truck. Too much reach is required

  High miler, still purring! - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
  By camelot4 - May 26 - 2:08 am

  I bought this truck 3 years ago with 120000 miles on it and it just purrs. Smooth, quiet, comfortable and even with all those miles it still doesnt burn or leak any oil. I haul a 260 gallon water tank in the back and it doesnt even phase the old girl. Just a great truck!

  GMC Denali Quadrasteer - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
  By Spurz - August 20 - 2:13 pm

  The GMC Denali provides a level of comfort and sophistication never available in a pick up truck. It offers the upscale appointments with comfortable, adjustable leather seats,the most advance drive train of any truck on the road, the convenience and security of OnStar, and the performance of GMs 6 litre engine. The manuverability is fantastic and a must if you are towing a boat or toy hauler or trying to fit in a tight parking spot. Excellent performance, refinement, and capability with the loan drawback being the poor gas mileage, which is to be expected.
