Used 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 for Sale

The truck is equipped with a 5.3 liter V8 engine which has more than sufficient power and returns in my normal daily use around 16 miles per gallon. Considering our planned 13,000 miles per year, the daily gasoline cost is more an acceptable considering the size nature of the vehicle. The truck has a four wheel drive system that is kept primarily in two wheel drive. However in winter the four wheel drive will prove of great use. The system can be left in "automatic" and will use four wheel drive only when needed, or changes in and out of four wheel drive, or from low to high range are made by an electronic controller with buttons on the left side of the dashboard. It's a smooth system and works exceptionally well. We have used the large cab for those major shopping center trips we make once per month, and appreciate the large capacity of the rear especially with the rear seat bottom in the "up" position, yielding a clear, flat floor area. We also have had several occasions when we needed to carry more than just my wife and myself, and I was surprised that the rear seats are actually quite comfortable, with adequate head and legroom for large adults. The interior of the truck is trimmed in leather and I wanted especially to find a truck that was equipped with heated seats to pamper my wife's chronic back pain issues. The combination of the leather, heated seats and large cab have proved to make the truck a comfortable long distance vehicle.

The truck is fully equipped for towing trailers, but the smaller V8 engine offers ample power with pretty good fuel economy. Remembering that the vehicle is a truck, it's comfortable to drive in our normal need for such a vehicle and the extended cab allows ample storage for our monthly major shopping trips to markets 50 miles distant. While the bed is only 6.5 feet long, it is ample for our large-item hauling needs. At $8500, the purchase price of this truck was roughly 14% of the cost of a new truck with similar equipment. This truck has 114,000 miles and I expect it to perform well for the next 100,000 miles, representing great value from a purchase, tax and insurance standpoint.
