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.

  • Sierre Style, Ride and Quality No.1 - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    It is no wonder the Sierre is the only truck lists the Kiplinger List top 10. Coming from the Toyota 4Runner and Ford F150 crowds, this beats them both for quality, handling, comfort and style. The 2004 Dodge Ram is a vible competitor but too pricey when you do the comparisons of bang for your bucks.

    Rides like a luxury car with power and handling of a sports car. 18-19 on the highway at 70-75 -- great improvement over my 01 extended cab. For the money,it is best on the market and looks better than the sister Chevy. Pulls 22boat with ease. Hunted all last season over rough terrain -- still no rattles. Get one.

    i got this truck in late january and ive got 1700 miles on it. its perfect for me, the ride is smooth, acceleration is great, and the cd player takes care of all my music needs. the only other trucks ive had the pleasure of driving are my brothers 2002 F-150 single cab, and my dads 1978 F-150 extended cab, and it greatly surpasses both of them.

  • Great Truck! - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    I previously owned a 2002 F-150 prior to this truck, which was an absolute lemon. Ford did nothing to fix the numerous problems, which led me to switch to GM products again. I can say I am pretty impressed with the truck overall. It has decent power, but lacks a little in the torque department. The body, fit, and finish are excellent. There are no squeaks or rattles. Mileage is about 10% better than the similarly equipped Ford. There are many more amenities in the GMC, including OnStar, and XM radio. I will never buy another vehicle without XM. It is great in remote areas. The truck also runs great, and the transmission shifts smoothly.

    This is my second one, and both trucks have been great. They will outrun all of the other 2003 factory trucks except for the Ford Lightning and Dakota R/T.

  • I love this truck! - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    I tow a horse trailer. When I drove this truck, I thought it would help with towing. What a great surprise that I could drive it downtown, park it in a ramp, and actually not worry about the back end sliding in the snow. Its heaven after my F150, much more like a Cadillac than a truck. I love this truck!

  • GMC Sierra Sharp and Long Lasting - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    I have this truck four years now and not one problem. Mine is a sport side in black with added chrome. It looks and rides great. Instead of a heavy duty package, I have the easy ride suspension. It handles and feels great. On the open road it rides like a luxury car.

  • Amazing GMC Truck - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    Everything about this truck is amazing, from the way it drives, to all of its abilities, towing, hauling, etc. The most impressive thing is the Autotrac 4WD system, I have off roaded with it in the snow, and never slipped a tire, even in over a foot of snow!

  • Pleasantly surprised - 2004 GMC Sierra 1500
    By -

    I bought my 04 SLE extended cab 2WD last month and this truck gives me so much for my money. It accelerates effortlessly with the 5.3, shifts smoothly with the AT, and get 22 mpg on the freeway... thats right, 22 MPG!
