Overview & Reviews

Four-wheel-drive Sonomas get a higher-output V6 and a handling/trailering suspension standard. GMC drops the 4WD long-bed and High-Rider regular-cab models and adds a new, lower-priced base-trim extended-cab model. All versions get a boost in trailer ratings and a new paint color.

• Sporty styling, fuel-efficient base engine, powerful optional V6.

• Cheesy interior plastics, low seating positions, spotty build quality.

  AWESOME TRUCK!!! - 2000 GMC Sonoma
  By Turtle82783 - April 24 - 9:03 pm

  This was my 1st truck. I bought it in 2003, and now in 2009 and trading it in. I absolutely love this truck and it is breaking my heart to get rid of it, but it is time. I have put a lot of work into keeping it in top condition with normal maintenance. This truck was always there for me and I highly reccomend it to anyone who loves trucks and is looking for a smaller one.

  I have had my truck for 4 months and I have put on over 9000 miles on it with no problems. It is fun to drive, has excellent acceleration and is easy to drive.

  PEE-UUUU - 2000 GMC Sonoma
  By Ray - November 16 - 9:48 am

  Bought with 74k on it. 1st and last GMC. Poor gas mileage. AC leaks out in a week and now bad heater core that requires total removal of dash and disconnect AC lines under hood just to remove heater core. Dealer wants $1,100 to replace. Lost my shirt on this truck

  Anyone else run out of gas - 2000 GMC Sonoma
  By jgcops - September 15 - 10:19 pm

  After 6 days with the truck I ran out of gas becuase the gas gauge didnt work. The dealership was very helpful until they had to pay $2500 then they said sorry you are on your own. Upon further review of S10/Sonoma web sites I see that this gas gauge problem is not just mine. My rear passenger door handle also broke after a couple of months. It does get good gas mileage for a truck, and the 4WD works excellent. Overall, this is not a bad small truck, but everytime I get in and see the low fuel light on and I know it is full, I become angry and want to get rid of it.

  Too many problems - 2000 GMC Sonoma
  By Joe - April 1 - 12:42 am

  I bought this truck used when it had 90K. After having it for only a year the transmission blew on me. I had just replaced the clutch and when the transmission went out it took out the clutch too. I spent $2000 repairing it. I only had the truck for 2 years and I regularly maintained it but in those two years I spent about $4000 in repairs. This cant be normal for a newer model car.

  Truck has been a steady performer with no more than routine maintenance costs.Would buy a 2004 if they were still available in this model.

  ok if you want a little truck - 2000 GMC Sonoma
  By Kenny J - July 7 - 2:00 am

  I drove an auto and it was doggy so I got the 5 speed. The bed is flimsy and it has some type of strange idle memory often starts and revs up for a few seconds. This is just the way it is made. I get 23mpg. I had to have the exhaust replaced underwarranty due to rattles. other than that no problems. Do not buy it if you need room get a full size
