2005 GMC 3500 SLT DRW - 2005 GMC Sierra 3500
By DREW - January 13 - 1:16 amThe comfort and drivabilty beats the Ford 350. I had an 01 F350 which was a great truck, but had some reliabilty problems and the brakes were not up to the task. The GMC is much better overall with towing and the interior is more car like. My biggest complaint about the truck is the gray steel rims with cheap trim rings. For over $40K the truck should be outfitted with Ford/Dodge similar rims. I almost went for the Ford again because of this.

Best of breed - 2005 GMC Sierra 3500
By Crusty Codger - December 4 - 8:30 amExcept for the cruise control switch that failed early on and the really poor tires that were provided I have had zero problems with my GMC 3500 long bed duramax allison crew cab dually that I purchased in 2005. My GMC has largely been used for hauling trailers, including my 35 foot fifth wheel, a car hauler and a 20 foot box trailer. The diesel never falters, even on fairly sharp inclines. And compared to Ford or Dodge the engine remains quite quiet.

My Truck - 2005 GMC Sierra 3500
By Liz Cox - June 11 - 4:30 amI have to say my experience with my GMC has been awesome. I have travelled over 17,000 miles since I first got it. It hauls my 42 5th wheel with no difficulty and my daughter enjoys the DVD system w/the wireless headphones only a little more than I do. Great sound system and entertainment system. Shocks are a little stiff but only when Im not hauling. I did a lot of comparision shopping and my GMC had the most options for the best price.

My 2005 3500 Xtend Cab 4x4 SRW 8.1L - 2005 GMC Sierra 3500

GMC 3500 - 2005 GMC Sierra 3500
By ronshoney - April 18 - 11:36 amIts a beautiful truck, feels like your riding in luxury. We have the TV/DVD package and that works great for our 4 kids who fit comfortably in the back on long trips. Good on gas for something that size, always runs and drives great. Have also used it to pull out the tractor when it got buried plowing the field, was not a problem it came right out and the truck barely had to try. Also pulled out a boat hauler that was stuck in a field, no limit to this truck.

05 GMC Sierra Dually - 2005 GMC Sierra 3500
By drew - April 11 - 5:00 amGreat truck! Traded in 01 F350 7.3L for the GMC. The GMC is much more driver friendly with comfort and a more car like feel. Power from the Duramax is very good as compared to the "chipped out" F350. On the downside, the truck, although a softer feel overall, is a bit more bouncy than the Ford. Interior room is much smaller in the front and rear of the crew-cab.
