Used GMC Sonoma for Sale

This vehicle was first owned by my grandfather when I was around six years old. I always joked about owning this truck and sure enough when I turned sixteen it came into my possession because my grandfather bought a newer and better truck for himself. This thing gets to Point A to Point B generally in once piece and has yet to fail me in terms of travel. As an attention magnet, however, is a completely different story.

I have owned my 2002 GMC Sonoma for four years now, and the previous owner had it for three years before me. It has 105,000 miles on it and I keep waiting for something to go wrong; however, I have never had to take it in for repairs. I have been good about scheduling oil changes and tire rotations and other preventative maintenance, but otherwise, I drive it a lot and have not experienced any mechanical issues. The truck is four door with nylon upholstery on the seats, which I personally really like as I find leather to be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. One of my favorite features is compass/navigation and outside thermometer that appears on the roof of the cab over the center console. It is something that I would not expect to find in a vehicle of 14 years, but I have found it to be reliable and extremely convenient to have. Another aspect that I really like about this particular truck is the relatively small size. It is a four door truck, but is much smaller than a lot of other pick up trucks, which makes it easy to park and maneuver while still offering the utility of a truck bed.

My GMC Sonoma S-10 is a pretty good truck for its size. It is definitely a smaller truck than many others however it has a lot going for it. It has a large enough bed that I can fit most types of furniture in it when moving or making a purchase which is the number one reason I wanted to buy a truck. I do wish that it was capable of towing a higher pound amount, and that it had a factory installed tow package. One perk of this truck is the 3rd door that opens to the back seat, this really makes it easier to access that area whether it's to allow a passenger to get in or out or to get to things that are stored there. The back seat is small but it works ok for even an adult. The back seat can fold into the wall of the cab to make plenty of storage space in the back or space for a couple of dogs. The front seat has seat belts for 3 people, however things get pretty cozy when all 3 seats are occupied up front, but you don't find many small trucks that can legally accommodate 4 people. The upholstery is velvety and cushy and has held up well over the past 20 years. The radio and speakers work fairly well. This truck handles really well and basically feels like driving a car almost. It's definitely easy to park in which is a plus. I have had some problems with the transmission and had to replace it a couple years ago but that may have been the result of misuse by the prior owner and may not be related to the truck itself. Other than the transmission issues I have not had any other major problems with it. It also gets pretty great mpg for a truck at around 27 mpg in city and 35 mpg on highway.
