This was my first vehicle and unlike most people mine first car was my favorite I've ever owned. I still have this truck and it has never left me stranded. I bought this truck in 2004. It is a 2004 gmc sierra 1500 crew cab short bed with a 6 inch pro comp lift kit sitting on 35 inch mickey thompson all terrain tires. the truck came with a 4.8 liter v8 engine with a 4 speed with overdrive automatic transmission. The fuel millage on the truck is actually well about the average for a bigger truck and i get around 16 mpg in this thing. The interior is all leather captains chairs with heated seats lumbar controls and everything so driving it is very comfortable. Having the crew cab which is the 4 door model truck is great for loading up on the weekends with everyone and going to the beach because i can fit 7 people in my truck and ride comfortably all the way there.
