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.

  Nice truck - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By Rgr891 - January 11 - 2:00 am

  The ride quality is excellent and the cabin is very quiet. The rear seats are very spacious and nobody has complained about being uncomfortable. Had to have the "AutoTrac" switch replaced, which the dealer said was a common problem, at about 40000 miles.

  May be better choices - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By RDJ0829 - December 20 - 2:00 am

  Overall disappointed. Replaced all brakes and rotors at 15000 miles. Dealer said dont drive enough. Never happened to my other cars with similar miles. New Battery after 2 years. Now a noise in steering?? I am not looking forward to the future years...

  Slowly falling apart - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By jcat_70 - November 13 - 11:40 pm

  I owned a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 for 4 years. Although, I must say, the engine and trans were reliable, partly because I used Mobil 1 synth. oil and never beat on it. Other things with the truck started to fall apart, i.e., the ABS system would intermittently go off at less than 5mph on dry surfaces, the fuel gauge would start and stop working, the right side mirror was flopping around in the wind, the tailgate handle (plastic) broke off when opening the tailgate one day. The brakes were terrible - including the rotors and way too much distance was needed to stop. The drivers door lock got jammed and wouldnt lock no anymore. Power window linkage broke. Radio lights quit working. too much!

  Great Truck - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By rowdie2 - September 14 - 2:00 am

  Purchased this Truck used with 49000 miles. It has not been in the shop once in 2 years. Talk about reliable. Pulls a 6000 lb Camper with no problems. Gets about 15 MPG on the road.

  My First Truck - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By lstpierr - June 25 - 10:00 am

  I was always an F150 fan when it came to small pickups. I couldnt resist the ride the GMC gave, I tested the Dodge, Ford and Toyota, GMC won hands down. I now have the truck for nearly 2 years, with 28k on it. The only issue I had was with GMC service. I had a hard flip toneau cover installed, they soaked me, and put it on incorrectly. Also, a clunking sound from the drive train, that was a known issue released, and theyve replaced the alloy yolk with the new Steel yolk, alls fine. This is a great truck, the only other thing I need to do is replace the Firestone tires and Im golden. I recommend this truck to anyone!

  Some mechanical problems - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By gmfan - May 5 - 6:06 pm

  I am surprised to see so many positive reviews on this vehicle. True, it is fun to drive and has a good ride and great stereo, there have been several disappointing mechanical problems. It seems to chew through brake pads in about 10000 miles. This problem was worse before the recall work on the anti-lock brakes that I am surprised no one else has commented on. Also, the rear tailgate is about to rust off and a brake line has rusted through leading to a brake fluid loss and near braking disaster. Also, numerous squeaks and noises that are undiagnosable.

  love it - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By richardc - March 20 - 10:00 am

  I had a regular cab gmc and traded to get more room. I have not regreted the trade. The truck is comfortable and quite. The only problem I have had is a leak in one of the A/C lines which was replaced in an hour. This truck is a keeper.

  Garys 2000 GMC * an opinion* - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By drlocke - March 13 - 2:00 am

  This truck is very fun to drive. It has the power, and torque for any situation. I would buy another one but I would not give anyone this one.

  Back to basics. What a truck should be. - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By Michal - February 12 - 2:00 am

  If you dont need leather interior, DVD players, 4 wheel drive, and a useless cab extention, this is one great vehicle. GMC builds their vehicles like a truck, not a truck-looking car. I have loaded it many times and it rides great. This truck fits in standard parking so it also makes a great get around town ride. My last GMC served me well for about 8 years before I traded it in on this one. I will probably keep this one as long if not longer.

  2000 GMC Sierra Z71 - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By Brad - November 20 - 10:13 pm

  Overall, I love the truck. It fires up every morning. I have had it for almost four years. I drive 30,000 miles a year with my job and it holds up great. The biggest repair I had to make was to have the intake manifold gaskets replaced a few years ago. The Gen III LS-based engines are notorious for that. I get about 15-17MPG no matter what kind of driving I do. Piddly things are starting to fail like lights on the radio & HVAC, lumbar support, and the console lid, but mechanically, its as Professional Grade as ever! Someday Ill trade it in on a new Sierra/Silverado, but right now it does what I need it to do.
