2014 GMC Sierra First Drive and Impressions

[@LiftingGunsBibleTradition]

4 years later and this truck was just awarded the 5 star reliability winner 🏆 GM CHEVY always proven with time!

[@rxonmymind8362]

Seriously? Where did you find that information? Thanks

[@ChilliwackimusPrime]

Beauty, and tells why chev continues to be a top name brand! Moving the bar and setting the standard, and then doing it all over when the comp meets the challenge! Go GM!

[@licarcar]

One of the best looking truck ever

[@Cali_Lux_Cruiser]

I love how this truck looks.

[@KocaineNWaffles]

To me personally it IS the perfect truck! I'd do anything to get one.

[@farmerallis]

My mind was blow when I heard the MPG numbers for the 6.2 (21 HWY). Pretty impressive.

[@VThokie412]

I've been a Ford guy forever, but the new Sierra may have just changed that. Loving the redesign, exterior looks awesome, especially the new all terrain package. Same goes for the interior. I would say that If the 6.2 ecotec3 can pull off MPG numbers close to the 5.3 ecotec (putting it right there with Ford's Ecoboost MPG wise, with much more power) there is no question I'll be a GM convert...

[@orlandoortiz9316]

any word on the silverado ss with the 6.2?

[@Big81Clos]

What’s the max towing?

[@BiteythePossum]

one thing he dosent mention about this truck is that in order to hit those mpg numbers GM is using 3.08 rear axle ratios again. a 3.42 is optional unless picking a higher trim level and you get a 3.73 with the 6.2 trailering package. id rather have the 3.73 ratio with the 4.3 or 5.3 engine instead of the 3.42 myself, so if you are looking to tow something heavy or haul a heavy payload in the bed, be careful with what it has equipped

[@derikdeanl]

Can't wait to see if they do something with the Yukon!

[@jjkroll32]

6'6" is considered Long for a 1/2 Crew cab, when last generation was a 5'x" bed for the crew cab. I agree, 8' constitutes a long bed.

[@jizzons12]

How does this truck set the bar?? Looks like it's finally catching up to the competition.

[@flippers098]

I have to say i like them but to respond to all the brand loyalty i believe that is the best thing for the Big Three. If say GM or Ford or Chrysler had no competition whatsoever in the truck market we would get a shitty truck year in year out because if someone needs a truck they can only get one, so I can dislike a truck for the way it looks but can't hate the other manufacturers because they are making each other set the bar higher each and every year, making better and better trucks!

[@farmerallis]

This is my biggest gripe with these new trucks. I would much rather prefer at least a 3.73 gear ratio, 4.10 would be more like it. My current truck (5 cyl GMC Canyon) has 3.73s, and I would never buy a truck with 3.08s. That's just stupid IMO.

[@Moby_d-k9p]

I think the next ford half ton will be cool, but you know the atlas won't really look a whole lot like the concept right? It's likely to retain the current f150 look, with some redesigned features. It won't be anything mind blowing.

[@jrighteous1984]

GMC rocks! Can't wait to get mine!

[@Rtvoll]

The little black skirt on the bumper barley does anything to improve gas milage anyways. If you took it off you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference in mpgs. I would still rather have a truck that can go up and down a hill without scraping something. I had that problem with my 98 suburban.

[@theo7179]

Aren't you the guy on the Geico motorcycle commercial lol

[@mikemuller791]

I think the Sierra looks definetly better than the silverado in 2014. As do the 2015 HD's.

[@samcwach4475]

Truck seems to retain the 2013-2007 looks.....although, this is the longbed? Longbeds were supposed to be an 8ft box.. This looks like the 6ft aka shortbed.. Maybe they changed terminology for 2014...But that's how it's always been to me

[@Tungsten23]

Nice, I bet you guys also have higher grade fuel as well.

[@LeshVarg]

don't forget people use regular gas as well rather than premium. :)

[@indifferentghost]

5% hill? Are you sure you didn't mean 5 degree hill? as in angle degree?

[@tananbnb]

On the road they call the slope by % grade.

[@life_of_marcopolo]

chevys and gmcs are great looking trucks.

[@manoman0]

Those little black skirts are very cheap and efficient.

[@mattpergolski4759]

This is an awesome truck

[@MrRedpaul84]

I dont know which truck looks better, this one or the chevy, Ram is out of the question

[@MrJamesgrate]

Impressive, and the Silverado is the twin to the (GMC Sierra), these are awesome half ton pick up trucks and they also have (Active fuel management), for v8 engines, 4 cylinders shut down to conserve fuel, What is fords' equivalent, oh yea the ecoboost and aluminum body frame. I'd rather drive a truck that has a (STEEL) frame rather than aluminum especially for safety reasons, it just makes sense!!!!!!

[@seththeamazing2563]

Thats your opinion I love the the 2014 sierra the silverado looks kinda from the future XD

[@TexasDragon3907]

They might not expect good gas mileage but that doesn't mean they don't want it.

[@TheDivino21]

Not a bad truck good if you will but what exactly does it excel at that the other don't.

[@MrMightyGuy]

My first problem with this is that Airstreams aren't even that heavy.

[@rxonmymind8362]

Six year late reply....lol. 4806 dry and 6000 wet with "stuff" inside the trailer. Not exactly light. I just purchased this exact Airstream the 23 FB and was looking at a used GMC.

[@Blackneck1994]

Ah... I'm used to 6.6' being a short bed and 8' being the long bed

[@mictdave1]

I bet in 2018 I can get a great deal on the last of the steal made GM full size trucks

[@metalrod23]

Well said.

[@iTzZM7TRF]

Gas cost 0.6 dollars a galon in Saudi Arabia... I'm living in heaven

[@flippers098]

Isn't that what happens every couple of years though? They come out with a great truck then Ram and Ford come out with something better.

[@richardhill987]

My name written all over it.

[@hitman21315]

Well depends on what you use the truck for. 99% of the people who buy the pickups buy it for towing. The 1% that does not use it for towing it is just a waste of gas. Any gas mileage that can help its great because $100 gas a week is killer.

[@Blackneck1994]

1:03 No goddamn way that is a longbed.

[@Waldo66669]

i love howw the ford and dodge guys get so butt hurt about these two trucks when they lose

[@CG_86]

@Tyler Orlowski Says who you? Ok we'll obviously your not hard to impress seeing that the gmc and silverado look like a box on wheels

[@ericpinter29]

what makes you think say that

[@Tungsten23]

You don't want bulk? Go for a Canyon or Colorado.

[@Mrtmh2duggy]

i would just rip the bumper off and put a new one on

[@PixelRAW]

Exterior design of GMC Sierra look like better than Chevy Silverado.

[@MrTheMiguelox]

But if there is a similar truck that does better they will choose it

[@224chingon]

Why cant they make them taller like its a truck not a damn car.

[@davidshowman9296]

Really GM sends you out with out the safety of tow mirrors.

[@Rtvoll]

First thing I would do if I had this truck would be to remove the stupid plastic skirt on the front bumper. Who cares about gas mileage. 99% of people who buy big pickups don't expect good gas mileage.

[@FrostyNugz024]

2014 gmc>2014 chevy

[@budcargeorge]

I'm looking to trade up my 2004 Denali but after driving and extensively reviewing the new trucks. I can see that I have the better truck overall and its 10 years old. Very sad GMC very sad. The luxury of quadrasteer and ride control is my death grip. And if the time comes that I do buy new i wont be buying a truck this low to the ground again. Dodge offers air ride control so thats where I will go next unless something roles around new for 2015

[@1alwayswin]

The only reason they care is for the CAFE standards.

[@alextreme7191]

Those headlights are NASTY

[@3treybraves]

Everyone talking about fords being better but fords are a piece of crap. F-fixing O-or R-repairing d-daily. If you want something reliable and good looking go with a chevy or gmc!

[@HCFX2011]

Lol naw man. It was too small, cramped, underpowered and uninspiring. Glad they finally spiced things up a bit, but Ram and F-150 are moving forward and will soon leave the GM behind again.

[@bmwmsport11]

this time around I think GM lost my business. This truck looks too bulky(along with the silverado). Seems like they designed this new generation around a higher trim level. I've seen a base Silverado LS, and it looks hideous.

[@LoveHarborTea]

GMC (Government Motors Company) I'm boycotting General Motors, Chrysler, Chevrolet, Dodge, and every other company that took our tax dollars in the BAIL-OUTS! Ford was the only company that survived on their own, and that should tell you something about their vehicles.

[@andrecouture2061]

Ford took a bailout as well, albeit not as much and not as directly tied to development and production as the other two. useconomy.about.com/od/criticalssues/a/auto_bailout.htm www.cbsnews.com/news/ford-credit-nissan-to-benefit-from-feds-talf-program/ www.mlive.com/auto/index.ssf/2010/12/did_ford_take_secret_governmen.html jalopnik.com/5704575/ford-bmw-toyota-took-secret-government-money/all

[@jzabel9]

so I m assuming you pay everything in cash??? Because if you took a loan you are a big fail...

[@santinoeli71506]

😪😪

[@cowmilky]

Ok, then take it off...

[@troydonahue9866]

I like the dodge ram. best ruck ever!~

[@jf61234]

Older headlight were way prettier

[@Slammedeth10]

Lol at no1 buys a truck cause of mpg...except every ecoboost f150 owner out there.... And then get horrible mileage and wonder why...

[@zackthecameraman]

That intro was some of the worst editing I've seen. Less transitions, please.

[@richardhill987]

Obama proof! (Gas price joke)

[@Rtvoll]

Nope, If I was I would have lots of money.

[@tylerorlowski3147]

the ford atlas looks like shit compared to this!!!!!

[@weirdshibainu]

Cheap, unsafe backseats.

[@demonspeeds1]

headlights are disgusting

[@HCFX2011]

How so? Lol. GM has always lagged behind the competition. They make a strong product for a year, then Ford and Dodge model years overlap and leave them in the dust as per usual. If you think the last generation 2007-2012 GM was ANY comparison to the F-150 and Ram, you're just another narrow minded "fanboy". I love your spelling too. American education system at it's finest. Stay in school, fool.

[@CG_86]

Looks slightly better then the silverado but both are ugly. The 2014 f150 atlas looks a million times better and will destroy the chevy and gmc in a competition.

[@UnKnown21010]

First imprssion ugly!!!

[@misaelcorral6217]

Chevy top brand name? Hahaha. With now 28 millions vehicles in recall. More tax payers money to fix garbage motors defective junks.
