Last-gen Sierra looks to be a solid used truck buy
Model:  GMC Sierra : Used

Vehicle Type: Pickup

The Verdict: The last-generation Sierra was loved for its comfort, toughness and capability—and GM’s 160,000-kilometre powertrain warranty should help add confidence to the purchase of a newer used model. Common problems seem mainly straightforward and easily identified.

Price Of A Used GMC Sierra: Pricing varies widely in the used Sierra market, as does the selection of available models. Consult local used vehicle listings to cross sample the market once you’ve decided on the year, drivetrain and body style you’re after.

What Owners Like:
In a nutshell, owners praise the tough, rugged, safe and solid feel of their Sierras. Also high on the list are space, ride comfort and confidence. Performance and towing confidence with the larger V8 engines is also highly rated, and fuel mileage is said to be relatively good, too.

What Owners Dislike:
Difficulty parking, cheap interior plastics and excessive road noise on some models are the most common complaints.
