  My little GMC work truck - 2011 GMC Sierra 1500
  By krausee - June 28 - 1:40 am

  I love my little work truck, short bed, 4.3 engine. Why? Because I paid 15,900 for it minus a 750 dollar USAA rebate. Its my third new GMC/Chevy in 10 years and I expect it to be as reliable as the previous trucks.

  Old technology-Drum brakes - 2011 GMC Sierra 1500
  By 2011sierraslt - March 8 - 8:16 pm

  Drum brakes! List price 38k + and I got drum brake on the rear-end. Maybe they wouldnt need all those air bags to get the 5 star safety rating if the truck could stop. Put disc brake all the way around.

  2011 gmc 5.3l flex fuel - 2011 GMC Sierra 1500
  By outdrmn - March 26 - 5:44 pm

  I bought this truck 2 years ago with 7,000 miles. It now has 51,000 miles. Been a very comfortable truck, but when it comes to what you need a truck with a v8 for it doesnt work. I run mobile 1 synthetic oil and change every 5,000 miles. Yet when towing a vintage camper (2,600lbs) and a 4x4 4 wheeler in the bed the truck wont pull a hill at 45 without overheating with no more than 2,500 miles on oil change. Also a 3 year old truck I have had to reinstall the door bumper guards since they fell off at 37,000 miles, comfortable truck but the the GMC brand I knew growing up, Id gladly take my 09 silverado back

  36,000 miles...Running Great - 2011 GMC Sierra 1500
  By jaximports - October 27 - 6:10 pm

  I bought mine 6 months ago and have put 5,000 miles on it. I needed a truck for our start-up business and this one had everything I needed with a camper shell and spray on bedliner. This is my first GMC/Chevy. Im in FL. The truck is originally from MI, so it has a bit of surface rust on the frame, from the salt up north. I plan to get it blasted and coated this year to prevent further corrosion. Other than that I average 16.5mpg with a fairly heavy foot and mixed driving. Its comfortable and I love the looks. Paint also has small corrosion spots from up north. Overall happy with the purchase...fingers crossed.

  Is This Another GMC Cover-Up - 2011 GMC Sierra 1500
  By cpaandcfsa - May 12 - 6:16 am

  My parents were driving N on I95 this weekend from FL to VA. The trucks door locks went up & down; the lights flashed on & off; and then, the trucks operating system shut down. The engine, power steering, power brakes nor anything else did not work. Couldnt steer the truck & barely able to stop from 70 mph. 300 miles later, it happened again. Fearing for their lives, they did not stop the rest of the way home. When they took it to the dealer, he said that the "positive post" had come "loose". This did not seem reasonable & far-fetched to my father since he had observed the battery posts that week himself. Is this another cover-up by GMC when more lives are at stake?

  Steering feels cheap - 2011 GMC Sierra 1500
  By heresmyopinion - January 2 - 5:40 pm

  Bought the truck in Sept. and I gotta say, this is one smooth driving pickup. If I had the extra dough, the SLT would have been the way to go. The door handles are in a bad spot, passengers have a hard time finding them. The cab is already starting to make noise and the steering feels REAL cheap, Im planning on bring it to the dealer to have it checked out. Fuel economy is good, averaging around 17 mpg. The 5.3 liter has great power, with the truck loaded up, but I havent towed anything heavy yet so Im not sure how the truck would handle or brake. The leather interior is very comfortable, even on long trips and you cant beat the full size room. Got a good deal and dealership was great.
