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.

  Nothing but Love - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By GMCfan - August 13 - 6:56 pm

  I have loved this truck since I have owned it. I have added all sorts of extras like intake and exhaust work, so that is why some of my ratings are high. My only issue that I have had with this truck is the backseat. Once my daughter was born, trying to get a car seat in there safety has always been an issue. Nothing has ever gone wrong and only replaced things that I upgraded.

  Awesome Truck - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By gsp473 - August 6 - 10:00 am

  I love my truck! I drive it almost daily and I havent had any problems with it. I pull a 6000 pound fifth wheel camper to the mountains with it and it does not even feel like its working hard (with 3.42 gears!). The tranny sometimes hunts for gears on the long uphill grades, but it never stumbles or lags. The towing mode works well though it only gets about 11 MPG with camper in tow. It normally gets about 16-17 MPG. It has a car-like comfortable ride and handles well. I wouldnt trade it for anything.

  Great truck but fuel milage stinks. - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By IsaiahCasey - April 26 - 11:16 am

  I bought this truck used last year love the design the ride and comfort. the gas mileage stinks but I wouldnt trade it for anything else. About a month after I bought the truck I had an electrical problem but it worked itself out. I just bought a meyers diamond snowplow and I am going to put it on this week. The truck has plenty of power to push snow. I work on a farm and I have a 4 ton trailer, and I can haul a 3 ton skidsteer on the trailer and she still has plenty of power.

  I would buy another one! - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By FF2Skip - April 15 - 10:00 am

  I have never regretted one payment made. Great looks. Although I have the 4.8L, she moves. I added Flow- Master duals, Hypertech Power Programmer, and Ultra rims w/ T/A Radials. Even with a heavy foot, I got 19 mpg on average. 2 complaints- 1) Its sometimes hard to get the cabin temperature right when using the heater(it heats up quickly, though), and 2) parking the beast in crowded parking lots. I have two children and they never complained about not having enough space in the back to fight with each other. The 4 doors are great if a car is not parked next to you. Since Im only 58", adult passengers in the back have enough room, too.

  Reoccurring problems - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By miker1267 - March 17 - 12:33 pm

  This truck is comfortable and has adequate power however, the quality of some components leave a lot to be desired. When having the front brakes replaced I was told that the rear (emergency) brakes need to be replaced as they were metal on metal. I had not used the emergency brakes more than 2 or 3 times since I purchased the truck. The rear brakes had apparently locked in a semi-on position and ate thru the pads. The dealer told me that the factory had redesigned the mechanism on newer models. Obviously this was a design problem. The fuel gauge has gone erratic twice with a repair cost of $900 each time. They recommend a new wiring harness at the same time, another design problem.

  Ready to Move On - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By Red - January 30 - 5:20 am

  I purchased this vehicle new and have enjoyed it. However, there have been some quality issues. Interior panels have all been very noisy and loose from the day it was driven off the lot. The digital odometer module quit lighting-up at 35,000 miles. Still keeps accurate mileage, just never know "how many" miles. Not much value to me any more. Will be donating it to charity by the end of this year. Hope it will help others.

  2000 1500 SLE - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By David Thompson - December 3 - 2:00 am

  Excellent ride, good power. Replaced alternator at 42,000. Bad alternator caused leakage from battery, causing the replacement of battery and positive battery cable had deteriorated. Dealership charged me an arm and leg to replace ($1000). Also had problems with accelerator sticking at 40,000. Replaced emergency brake at 29,000.

  Great GMC truck z71 - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By lawrence forester - August 17 - 4:13 pm

  I loved this truck. It did everything I wanted it to do. The only reason I want to sell it is I am a realtor and need a car to show houses in.

  Great Truck - 2000 GMC Sierra 1500
  By Hugh A. - August 3 - 12:43 pm

  Bought truck new, primary driver. Only tme in the shop was for recalls and minor maintenance. Gas mileage was as advertised both highway and city. Got the towing package tows boat with plenty horsepower to spare. Body still very clean after all the miles and weather. My wife and I always take it on vacations instead of car it is more comfortable wife likes being above the traffic for view. Also used as work truck tow haul feature very helpful when towing have towed car, boat trailer and tow haul rings all of needed horsepower from power range helping to get to speed and maintain it on highway. Have devloped some rattles but to be expected with this many miles. Love it would buy it again!
