2010 GMC Sierra 1500 User Reviews

Poor Performing Hybrid Truck (though Still Better Than The Available Options). — I do a combination of driving since I live in a rural area where there are lots of 60+ mph roads (our place fronts a 60 mph road), though there are plenty of traffic signals so I should be charging the lithium batteries plenty, however, the fuel mileage does not reflect any difference even though we've got/had two other hybrids that I learned how to brake efficiently to maximize regenerative braking charge rate. _ I do not carry extra cargo or a truck box, and only occasionally tow a trailer, when hauling a trailer or heavy load I've found that i get about 13-15 mpg, which is about what a standard gas 1/2 ton truck gets in normal driving. _ I hope that other truck manufacturers don't base their decision to build a hybrid truck upon the sales history of the GMC Sierra or Yukon because the original advertised fuel mileage of 21 City and 22 Highway were totally unimpressive from the start! I wouldn't have bought this truck except that it was the only hybrid option at the time (nobody else offered a hybrid truck, and Ford only sells the Diesel Ranger pickup in 130+ other countries, not in the USA [it reportedly gets 34+ mpg]), and GMC offered 0% financing for 5-years, so I'm not totally dissatisfied.

Truck — It's a truck, what can I say? Better than the Nissan Titan, but not as good as the Ford F150 or the Toyota Tundra. Basically a plain Jane rental. Had no 4WD, was a regular cab, but has a decent V8 engine. Better looking than it's engineering twin the Chevy Silverado.
