2006 GMC Sierra 1500 - SLT 4x4 Crew Cab
Pros: auto 4 wheel drive
Cons: gas guzzler
Advice: be prepared to spend $50 - $60 plus to fill the tank
I absolutely love this truck! It's a quiet, comfortable ride & it handles great through snow, rain & ice. It has so much room & a great stereo system. We've gotten up to 21MPG on the hwy a few times, but averaging about 18MPG. A little expensive to fill the tank at times, but I feel very safe while I'm driving. -

2006 GMC Sierra 1500 - SLT 4x4 Crew Cab
Pros: Comfort
Cons: Electrical problems
Advice: Buy something more reliable
I bought a 2006 GMC Sierra Crew Cab in June of 06. The truck only has 2500 miles on it and I am already having electrical problems. The right turn signal does not work, the cruise control went out, the heater doesn't work, and the ABS and parking brake light are constantly on. I have read several reviews stating these types of problems with the 06 Sierra. I just took it in to the dealer yesterday and am waiting for a diagnostic report. You would think that GMC's quality control standards would be a little more stringent when charging $35,000 for a truck. As much as I like the way the truck looks and performs, I wish I had purchased a truck from another manufacturer. -

2005 GMC Sierra 1500 - SLE 4x4 Regular Cab 6.5' Box
Pros: 5.3 liter vortec V-8
Cons: nothing
Advice: Buy it! you wont be sorry.
I bought my first new Sierra in June of 04, After driving Ford, Toyota, and Dodge My Sierra blows them all away. This truck has it all comfort, power, and looks. I love the off road package and have already tested it with spectacular results. I have owned several other 4X4s in the past years and this one puts them to shame. -
2005 GMC Sierra 1500 - SLT 4x2 Crew Cab
Pros: Plenty of room for kids and cargo
Cons: Tire wear, rides too soft
Advice: Be prepared to deal with cranky service people
Overall I am happy with this truck. My only complaint after one year is tire wear, specifically on the right front. The truck has 13,000 plus miles and I have had one alignment and one tire rotation by dealer, and a second alignment with independent. Independent inspected and test drove truck and mentioned the shocks were bad and with warranty I should take it to the dealer. Took to dealer immediately, and because the service manager 'went to bat' for me they replaced the struts, but was told the worn tire was my problem, not theirs.
