I purchased a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE. It has the Z71 package, heated leather, and is 4x4. I needed something for occasional hauling and towing as well as something that is comfortable to commute in. Boy, does this fit the bill. The 5.3L Ecotec has some life to it and never feels bogged down. I love the cylinder deactivation for long interstate romps. I've averaged about 21 mpg on the interstate without hauling or towing.

I have had A/C problems every summer for the past seven years, and the problems are always different. At this time, hot air blows out the vents on the drivers side (dual vents) which is a very common problem with GMC's and Chevrolets of this year. I feel there should have been a recall! Another problem GMC's have that I'm experiencing is issues with the windows rolling down. The last very common problem with this year GMC truck is the dash cracking. As far as fuel economy... it is not good. Getting about 10-11 miles per gallon in City and do not get more than 12-13 on highway. I have loved the style of the truck outside the above mentioned problems. Was a really great truck the first five years and I kept the mileage low. Being a 4 door truck has been nice when I needed space to haul something inside with the ability to lay the back seat down flat. Overall the truck has been great for its purpose outside outside the continuous A/C and window problems.
