2014 GMC Sierra 1500 Review

This is the new GMC Sierra 1500 truck. GMC restyled their Sierra 1500 truck starting in 2014. The 2014 GMC Sierra and 2015 GMC Sierra looks pretty mush identical. There may be subtle differences between the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 but I'm not sure what those differences are. This is the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE. There are GMC Sierra 1500 SLT and GMC Sierra 1500 Denali trims available too. The 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE was the best deal in my opinion because it was the previous year's model, looked basically identical and drove the same. This truck is loaded with features! The new GMC IntelliLink interface is nice! It makes pairing a cell phone with the trip simple. The touchscreen is nice and hopefully they'll make additional apps available for it in the future too. What has impressed me the most about the 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 is the comfortable, quiet ride and fuel economy for a V8. The LED lights in the truck bed are great! There are TONS of power jacks and USB ports throughout the vehicle. GMC has really stepped up their game to compete with Ford Microsoft Synch. For great towing capacity, comfortable ride and an abundance of feature, the GMC Sierra 1500 is hard to beat!

Very Good. I could understand you much better than the other videos I watched tonight. Please do another video after a year or so with more details. Thanks!

[@boogeyman7777]

Awesome truck. . the lights for the bed is a real good idea.

[@JerseyPiney]

My 2003 had that option

[@catchup8190]

Nice review, just got this truck and it’s great.

[@AmB39]

Still happy with it? I’m picking mine up this week

[@gage1128]

@AdamBerkeley how do you like urs? I’m thinking about buying a 14 slt with 70k miles

[@brucie7350]

I wish GM would get it together. I want a 6.2 in my next truck but it's not available unless you buy the higher trim lines. I'm sure there are more people out there who want the big power in a base model truck. It's hard to justify a $60,000+ truck that'll be worn out and replaced in 4 years.

[@Bellinghamster]

Nice looking truck and the locking tailgate is a nice touch. Would be thieves will have to reach up and over to steal your stuff. Also the little things like the LED bed lights and smooth open gate are cool features. Congratulations.

[@IrixGuy]

BellinghamsterTrail Yeah, they are nice features indeed.

[@denismaravilla1046]

I looked at a silver one today but didn’t have a back up camera. I thought all 2014 and up they do have one idk

[@josephliptak]

Nice truck! Now that you've had it awhile how do you like it? Any problems with anything? Dig the white color too.

[@IrixGuy]

No problems at all and I would buy again in white. I traded it in about a year ago and it held its value better than any vehicle that I have ever owned. I think that the basic color may have contributed to the strong trade-in value. They’re great trucks but I like my new car that can get around 40MPG.

[@Mr2002yawne]

i was wondering if it had the emergency light that is on a cord that the cord it long enough to go around to each side of the truck to provide light to change the tired at night my 1989 chevy had it and it came in pretty handy just wondering it took me awhile to find out it was even there its under the hood and was like a bubble light used to light engine compartment it was on the fender well its on like pull out light then had a hand crack to wind the cord back in i thought that was a nice feature just wondering if they did away with it or not so you might want to see if it was that. let me know if you can if it does you will love that.

[@IrixGuy]

Michael Mcfarland Very cool. Nope, this one doesn't have that =( I guess I could always turn on the bed lights for a little extra light while changing a tire LOL

[@mictdave1]

I liked your comparison between the SLE and SLT trim levels. I'm thinking about trading in my 2006 SLE sierra and I'd like to own at least one truck in my life with leather seats but I'm just not sure if it's worth the extra cost. Part of me says why start now.

[@IrixGuy]

mictdave1 Thank you! IT'S NOT WORTH IT. My personal opinion is that leather and a rugged vehicle shouldn't mix.....even if money was no issue and the owner didn't sweat scratching and/or getting the weather wet. Cloth interior is more practical and easier to clean and maintain in my opinion. With that said, I do want leather is my sports cars but I don't want leather in my truck =) That's just my personal opinion.

[@davidstokes9706]

Leather IS NOT the only difference between the SLE & SLT. Each trim level has more features "Standard" and/or available to it. It's not just a leather upgrade and a "name badge" increase.

[@josephliptak]

Dig the white color. Makes it look even classier.

[@IrixGuy]

I agree! This was a great truck and it held its value well. #GMC

[@terryparker1012]

These are the most beautifully designed trucks since 1968 ,we bought our 2014 GMC SLT FULL CAB in February 2013 , she was bought brand new with only 17 miles . We now only have 30k on this beautiful 5.3 liter 4×4 SLT Cajon Red all original Sweetheart. Plenty of backseat memories LOL 😆😂😅🤣🥰 WE LOVE Our 2014 GMG .1🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 PS, I'm hearing rumors about the transmissions after 120k about slipping and acting up ? Do I need address?

[@IrixGuy]

Yeah, it was a great truck. GMC is expensive but with price haggling and leveraging their annual incentives, deals can be had. Trade-in value is super strong for GMC! I traded this truck in a few years ago.

[@evengarcia8054]

I have the same truck however single cab base model and I cannot figure out how to see my vehicle information on the dash odometer. I want to be able to see my air pressure and what not any idea how I can view that?

[@IrixGuy]

Do you have the screen on the dash where you can scroll through with joystick on steering wheel?

[@evengarcia8054]

IrixGuy's Adventure Channel I just figured it out there's a joy stick next to the screen on my dash I couldn't figure it out because I only had the cruise control on my steering wheel. Thanks any ways brother!!

[@justinrose6763]

How long did you keep this truck? Any major problems?

[@IrixGuy]

Zero problems! I only sold because I sold a boat, gas was too expensive and I was able to secure amazing trade-in value at the time. I drive an Audi bow that sips fuel but would buy a GMC again (if they weren’t so expensive) without hesitation.

[@bcrusher1979]

I just bought a left over summit white 2014 sierra SLE crew cab Z71 and mine has duel climate control. power seats, a 110 house style power outlet, fog lamps, and on the left side of the dash where the head lights are, is also a similar knob for the 4x4. So my point is there is a big difference in the "same model" truck and shouldn't be unless you order it different. Also being a 2014 left over I got a $9,300 rebate so the sticker was $45,995 and a 2009 sierra I got $17,000 for it came to $19,695. Not to shaby! But why they so different? Wonder what else that i didn't see is different?

[@IrixGuy]

bcrusher1979 Great points! I know what you're talking about. Mine does not have the 110 house style plug(wish I had that) nor the 4x4. It does have the "Z71 kit' though. I like the truck but I agree equipment should be more uniform. I think that I may have more leg room in the front middle seat though, since I don't have the piece where 110 plug is.

[@murderedsilverado19]

what kind of mpg you getting? thinking about trading my 2010 for one.

[@IrixGuy]

hfjj sdgff Honestly I don't watch the MPG BUT it does get better MPG that my previous Chevy Silverado Work Truck with a V6. I think it's usually 13MPG or so around town but highway is quite good. I noticed that the engine switches from "V8" to "V4" on the display. I'm assuming that is how it consumes less fuel while on highway etc. I've loved this truck so far. Zero complaints!

[@Jerrybeansman100]

What does the Z71 package give you?

[@IrixGuy]

Jerrybeansman100 A little decal on side of the truck is all that I know LOL. I was able to haggle and get a good deal on this truck.

[@ManuelMoctezuma]

rancho shocks and struts

[@googleaccount2637]

Bigger stabilizer bar, jaunce bumpers, multiple skid plates, rancho shocks, G80 auto locking rear differential, 2 speed transfer case, heavy duty air cleaner, all terrain tires, etc. The newer ones include even more offroad tech and features. I only buy Z71s and it shocks me how most people review them have no clue what makes it a z71. Stickers says a guy... poor fella doesn't know his ass from a damned hole in the ground, probably a biden voter!

[@Spreadsomekindness]

How many feet long is the bed? I'm looking into Four Wheel Campers.

[@IrixGuy]

This is the crew cab version with the shortest bed. I don't have the exact measurements in front of me but you may want the longer bed option for camping =) #camping

[@Spreadsomekindness]

IrixGuy's Adventure Channel I will take it into consideration-Thanks

[@chollub9780]

Short crew is 5’ 8”. Standard is 6’ 6”.

[@chollub9780]

Sorry bud, but short bed don’t change cab size.

[@ajwatts926]

The SLE on the GMC Sierra stand for Special Luxury Edition

[@IrixGuy]

Awesome! I was thinking Sam Larry Eric.

[@ajwatts926]

@@IrixGuy The SLT stands for special luxury touring. On the Chevrolet, the LT stands for Luxury Touring, and the LTZ stands for Luxury Touring Z

[@mr.timjohnston546]

that centre console I tore it right the fuck out.. Made one to suit my needs

[@IrixGuy]

LOL #LikeABoss

[@irraesto7283]

Wonder if sle slt an denali have the same motor

[@IrixGuy]

Not sure….Denali is way out of my budget.

[@armoni546]

For This to be shot on a iPhone 6 Plus .. the quality is really good

[@IrixGuy]

Thank you! iPhone cameras are pretty good!

[@DanteLegacyGaming]

Looking into purchasing this truck. The dealer is asking for $22,500. Inside and out in excellent condition and has 105,200 miles on it. Is it worth the price asked?

[@IrixGuy]

That’s a ton of mileage. I personally would not do it.

[@DanteLegacyGaming]

IrixGuy's Adventure Channel Thanks👍

[@IrixGuy]

No problem and that price seems outlandish too, given that much mileage.

[@IrixGuy]

You’d be better off shopping for new Colorados IMO

[@IrixGuy]

Ford has some great trucks too. I only got a GMC because of all of the discounts at the time of buying it. They’re nice trucks but they price them artificially high in my opinion.

[@bcrusher1979]

I forgot to add that my SLE also has a rear back up monitor and sensors that comes up on the dash not the rear view. I would be pissed off if I where you, unless your sticker was a lot less. They should make all the options the same in each trim package. Unless you custom order it to what you want.

[@IrixGuy]

bcrusher1979 Yeah, my backup camera is only visible in the center console. Unfortunately custom ordering the previous years model is hard to do and that's where the big rebates are. I was happy with the deal that I got for the truck and zero complaints so far. It's decent highway gas mileage too! Have you had any problems yet?

[@bcrusher1979]

IrixGuy's Adventure Channel Nope, no problems yet. Only got 1000 miles on it tho. I just hate how they leave stuff out like my last SLE i bought I got a sweet rebate but it didn't come with fog lamps. Instead it had the bumper for fog lamps with big holes that were capped off were they were supposed to go. That just looks incomplete to me. They could have made a bumper without the holes so it don't look incomplete.

[@IrixGuy]

bcrusher1979 Funny you say that. The front tag bracket place mine didn't have that piece. Long story short, I wanted to attach a from tag to the GMC Sierra. We searched the entire lot and even called GMC and apparently there is no front tag bracket available for the 2014 GMC Sierra. I was able to get them to insert a plastic piece where the tag goes to make the front bumper look complete. Check with your dealership. Those little cosmetic pieces are likely sitting around.

[@marlono4949]

how is the sound system?

[@IrixGuy]

Marlon O I didn't get the premium....just the basic and it's plenty good enough for my wife and I.

[@cbnboy34]

+IrixGuy's Adventure Channel Its actually very good! Its better than Fords!

[@familyman247]

I’m getting this truck in about a week SLT... My 2008 Silverado was totaled out two weeks ago by some idiots on drugs who ran the red light. Thanks to God I’m ok.

[@IrixGuy]

That is horrible! What matters most is that you’re okay and hopefully they learned their lesson.

[@CristianSalazarSantos]

Why the hell would you get the toilet paper white color!!theres 44k colors and you chose whit

[@IrixGuy]

+Ps3user1234567890 Because this was the one that I negotiated a great deal for. I'm all about price and performance...could care less what color the truck is LOL

[@cbnboy34]

+IrixGuy's Adventure Channel i know right...forget the fact that maybe you happen to like it...smh

[@sswcubes]

+IrixGuy's Adventure Channel how much did u pay for it before tt&L? If u don't mind saying.

[@isaiassilva8761]

Hau much better price

[@IrixGuy]

Trucks are too expensive to drive now. I ride a bicycle or walk.

[@jkm777]

I still dont understand why anyone in the world would spend this much money on a truck and not get 4 wheel drive, you may have the Z71 offroad suspension, but that is pretty much worthless without 4 wheel drive

[@coryhayden4539]

Not everyone wants or needs 4WD just so you know. More than half of the people with newer 4WDs don't use them

[@papayaman123]

you need to stop moving the camera so much

[@cecilioesparza7368]

No mas,,to much brake down!!!

[@IrixGuy]

Mine was issue-free and the resale value was outstanding! Gas mileage......too expensive.

[@cecilioesparza7368]

My friend as to much problem whit hes 2014 Sierra as well,,no more sierras,anymore.

[@IrixGuy]

Now my Volkswagen Passat....that was a lemon :)
