This Year's Model Updates:

In what is likely the last year of production before a full redesign, the Sonoma gets a host of minor equipment upgrades. All extended cabs get a standard third door, while all models get a bed extender and upgraded stereos. The top-of-the-line SLE trim level has been discontinued along with the regular cab, long-bed model. Graphite leather trim is now available on crew cab models and Sandalwood has been added to the color palette.

Pros:
  • Sporty styling, fuel-efficient base engine, powerful optional V6.
Cons:
  • Cheesy interior plastics, low seating positions, spotty build quality.

  • Sonoma Crew Cab the finest in Luxury - 2002 GMC Sonoma
    By -

    The Sonoma Crew Cab is the finest in Luxury with a Kick! It has the power, it has the options, it is the best small truck that thinks its a big truck on the market hands down.

  • Vibration? Vibration!? We dont need... - 2002 GMC Sonoma
    By -

    I took it in at 400 miles for a vibration coming from the rear. A month later GM says its inherent to the two- piece driveshaft in extended models and "unrepairable". The dealer has tried hard to correct the problem to no avail. If the Corp. Service Rep. wont authorize re-purchase, Ill have to take refuge in the Lemon Law here in GA.

    This is by far the best mid-size p/u you can get. Its suspension is far beyond its competetion & if you like the Dakota you must like driving loaners because your getting a lot of transmission work done. The Ford Ranger is just cheesy. Those who rate this truck poorly need to get their head out of places it shouldnt be. There are foriegn trucks, but im a real American.
