Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Powerful drivetrains, roomy interior, numerous available amenities.
Cons
- Spotty build quality, cheap interior materials.
What’s new
Base trucks get upgraded via newly standard cruise control, chrome wheels, chrome rear bumper and chrome grille surround. The SLE trim adds foglamps to its generous list of features. The Work Truck Package (with unique grille treatment) is now available on all models. Lastly, a trio of new colors, Sand Beige Metallic, Silver Birch and Sport Red Metallic debut.
Edmunds says
With its powerful engine lineup and revised interiors, the heavy-duty Sierra makes a strong case for itself against the competition, but questionable build quality keeps us from calling it best in class.

2004 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4dr Crew Cab SLT 4WD SB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Truck has been overall a good unit. Windsheild leak when new at passenger floorboard and behind dash. Took 1 year for local dealer to finally fix. Climate Control slow to activate fan, really noticable on hot days, seems I have to press brake pedal to start blower (wierd). Trans will sometimes start in 2nd gear, then shift to 1st. Usual problems with intermiediate steering shaft (now … on 2nd fix), driver's seat belt and armrest broke, pass side also (wrty fixes). Also having wierd problem during cold months with intermittent dash light and guages recycling, no fix yet. Orig brakes are still strong at 90k miles, tire wear good, body still tight and quiet, engine strong with no oil usage

2004 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4dr Crew Cab SLE 4WD SB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Absolutely the best truck I have ever
owned. During it's maiden break-in
run I got 23.8 mpg. When engine is
broken in mileage should be even
better. I drive between 55-65 mph and
this seems to be the "sweet spot" for
performance. Got it to haul our slide
in camper and this will be no problem
now. (Not like our 91 Silverado which
on it's best day with only one person …
got 20 mpg)

2003 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4dr Extended Cab SLE 4WD LB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
2003 Sierra with 8.1 liter 345 HP and
Alison Auto. Plenty of power for towing.
A little hestitant on take off when
cold. 20,000 miles in 6 months and it
runs like day 1. Fuel mileage is
absolutely HORRENDOUS!!!! Towing an
enclosed race car trailer x-country avg.
mileage = 7.95.
Driving enmpty no load at all avg.
mileage = 12.98.

4.75 out of 5 starsDon Bland, 04/21/2004
2004 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4dr Extended Cab SLE 4WD SB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
The experience of getting better gas
milage with the 6.0 motor in the GMC as
opposed to the 4.8 in my Chev, makes me
wish I had bought the Chev with the 6.o
instead of the 4.8. Factor in the
added pulling power, makes it far
better. I highly reccomend getting the
6.0 in either model truck.
