Reliable And Dependable Truck — Very good a reliable truck. Very little problems, Just normal maintenance and TLC, keep this 2003 going. I guess my biggest problem was rear brakes, had to brake calipers. But the truck on has 71.000 miles. Would buy another one.

Great Overall Truck — The truck has a 4.3L V6 and as a result does not have much power. The fuel tank is very large for 3.00+ fuel costs, 36 gallons. But the truck is a very good truck when used as a truck.Interior is identical to a Silverado. Very stylish.

03 Sierra Slt — I havent had to do many repairs, however my Transfer Case Control Module is acting up now @ 120,000 miles. I bought this truck more for the awesome SLT package it has-heated leather seats, BOSE sound system, fog lights... Its a great truck, nice power,unfortunately the body parts(heated signal mirrors) are NOT cheap.

2003 Gmc Sierra — You have to love GMC. They are professional grade. unfortunately I have the 4.3 V6. Its a great motor. tough as hell. But just not quite enough power for a full size truck. But hey, you take what you can get, right?

Gmc! The Only Way To Go! — Big ass tough truck! One of the best vehicles I ever had. Certainly the newest. I'd like to paint it though...right now it's white, which I don't care for. I want to paint it black...All the power when you want and when you need it! Sure fuel is sky-rocketing, but with a 4.8 litre Vortec V-8, it's worth it!

My Truck — Love my truck, it can go through anything. Has over 50k on it. Only have had a few problems nothing serious. It's actually not bad on gas and it was a pretty cheap truck I guess you could say. It's so fun to put the pedal to the medal in it.

My New Truck! — It's nice to ride in a decent vehicle after most of my cars have pretty much sucked. The speedometer's in these trucks are known to quit working and GM only honors the recall if the miles are low. so..... my speedometer is not working.
