This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Roomy extended- and crew cab models, strong V8 engines, innovative features.
Cons:
  • Spotty fit and finish, low-grade interior materials.

  • This is one great truck - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    I spent the past year looking at trucks before deciding on the GMC Sierra. I havent had it one full day yet, but I can tell you that the wait was well worth it. The truck is comfortable, the ride is solid and quiet. GMC has even managed to eliminate one of the more serious knocks in their 2004 model - the rattling sound that Sierra was infamous for. I have not heard it like I have in previous models I have test driven.

    I knew I had to get a truck, but I wasnt all that excited about it. Weve always had them, but I had always driven a large sedan or SUV. I was amazed at what came standard on the Denali. This trucks standard equipment has all the luxury of the SUVs plus all of the utility of a full-size truck with 325hp, full time 4WD and Quadrasteer. The handling and performance of this truck is better than any other truck Ive driven. The Denali is excellent in highway and city traffic as well as being very easy to get into and out of tight spaces. People stop me on the street and in parking lots to talk about this truck, thats never happend to me before.

  • Better than I expected - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    It has turned out to be a better vehicle than I expected. Very decent ride quality. Plenty of get up and go consiering it has the small V-8 engine. My biggest complaint is the lousy turning radius- takes much too much space to get in and out of parking spaces or to make a U turn. Nice fit and finish. It is holding up very well. Am not generally a GM fan, but this is a very nice vehicle.

  • GREAT TRUCK - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500

    I drove this truck across the country, no problems and i had a trailer in pull. Maine to Washington. Very comfy and with a few add ons, the gas mileage for me is low 20s high way. 5.3L. Good truck, Recommend.

  • Great Truck - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500

    Great Truck. Mileage is improving I am getting 18.8 MPG. The only complaint I have is the brake take more pedal pressure than my old truck.

  • Best truck I have had - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    This is my very first truck and I am very satisfied. It is also very quick. The sport red does look pinkish in the sun so it is definalty a female truck.

  • Excellent Buy - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    You cant beat this truck for the price lots of power locking Differential. All wheel disk brakes on other trucks this is a option but on GMC it is a standard option. I just couldnt be happier the 5.3 has plenty of power Im sure it will keep up any of the other trucks with the same size engine.

  • This truck is PERFECT!! Never owned GMC. - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    Always have owned Toyotas, new Tacoma extended cab (but not enough space), then a 4runner (but not a truck), now I just bought a 2004 GMC 1500 Sierra SLE extended cab 4wd, 5.3L for $28,700 OTD. I wanted to get Tundra Double cab, but too expensive and not really a truck, besides, the newer GMCs (2001 & up) are as good as toyotas in engine quality. Everything was just better in GMC Sierra. Couldnt be happier and satisfied than having this truck.

  • excellent - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    this is the best truck i have ever owned. period. loaded, leather etc. and as comfortable to drive as any car ( including cadillac and mercedes ) that i have owned and driven. 4wd takes me anywhere and under any conditions. you cant beat this one.

  • Love my Denali! - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    Power, performance, and FUN to drive! Quadrasteer whips a better U-turn than a Volkswagen! It takes about a lane and a half to cut a tight u-turn. The 6 Liter engine has lots of power, but GUZZLES the gas! (The power is well worth the gas guzzling when you need it.) I change the oil and put in gas. I have had it 1 year TODAY and have 35,900 on it allready! GMPP Warranty was $4K extra! Very pleased with the truck & reliability, but the dealers who fix it work too fast and I have to point out the shoddy repairs. Biggest problem, the factory tonneau cover leaks water into the bed, and is constantly breaking. I have had it replaced TWICE (under warranty) Both times it was re-installed wrong.
