  Great all around truck - 1994 GMC Sonoma
  By don - August 9 - 3:35 am

  I have a 94 Sonoma with a 4.3 tbi engine with 181,000 miles on it and it still gets me around 20 miles to the gallon and runs like a champ. I bought it with 152,000 on it and Ive driven it hard as hell and its held up with no major problems except I threw a clutch once but hey it happens. I couldnt be happier with my truck. It has been such a great truck. Im sinking almost $10,000 back into it to make it a show truck for me and the family to enjoy for a long time to come

  Petes Review - 1994 GMC Sonoma
  By Pete Matthiesen - January 6 - 2:00 am

  I have really enjoyed my Sonoma. It has been a very reliable truck with minimal problems. It has over 130,000 miles now and is still running strong as when I bought it. The only problem I have had is with the EGR on the engine, but they say it is a common problem with it.

  One Tough Truck - 1994 GMC Sonoma
  By wpnsloader - June 1 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this truck with 33,000 miles and it has 90,000 now. The only complaint I have is the size. I really need more room for the family. The H.O. 4.3 in the 4X4 is one of the most powerful V6 motors put in a truck today and with out a doubt one of the most dependable. ZERO mechanical break downs. Only a few electrical issues. I have towed or hauled everything with this truck from loads of lumber and bags of concrete to a 22 ft pontoon boat. This is One Tough Truck

  Great Little Truck - 1994 GMC Sonoma
  By Whami - May 23 - 2:00 am

  This has been a wonderful little truck. It has been used as a courier vehicle for the past 4 out of 5 yrs that I have owned it. Still going great. Replaced the clutch & starter. Then the engine at 210,000 because of timeing belt. Body has held up great. A/C compressor went out at 200,000. It has carried average of 40,000 per yr in miles and with the newer/used engine will last another 100,000.

  Truck that Wont Quit - 1994 GMC Sonoma
  By cb - December 10 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this truck new, if now has 211,000 miles without a major repair. While it has been well cared for mechanically, I have hauled countless loads of lumber, mulch, bricks, furniture, you name it. Off-road, it is tough to match, I have reached many fishing spots that would not have been accessible by a lesser vehicle, and some harsh Pennsylvania winters seemed paltry behind the wheel. I was actually asked by a collague if my truck was new after it had crossed the 200K mark. Power is ample (and I sold my 69 camaro SS to but this truck, so that is quite a statement.) All repairs have been electronic, it has never left me stranded.
