Pros: Great Denali Styling, Performance, Actual UTILITY!!! Quadrasteer is awesome!!!
Cons: Rather cheap stereo for this truck, mileage, all the rumors about the poor reliability.
The Bottom Line: I've had the truck for less then a week and love it. If GMC is truly a Professional Grade, I will keep this truck for a very long time.

| falcon133's Full Review: 2002 GMC Sierra Denali |
Overall Review:
I got it as my very first truck. All I use to drive before the Sierra Denali were sport cars and motorcycles. I was worried about driving a vehicle of that size, that is why I went with Denali Quadrasteer. I am not a bit disappointed, it drives and handles great, moving around parking lot is as easy as driving my Prelude. The only dislike at this point would be the cheap stereo, it just does not fet the truck like Denaly and will definitely have to go soon. Other then that - I am loving it. I wish more people started posting their reviews of PERSONAL experience with Sierra Denali. I hear lot of bad things from people who DO NOT HAVE ONE!!! Like reading review from a guy who says he has one dated back in October 2001, when they were not even out yet!!!! That just gives me a red as#. If anyone else out there HAS one, please leave a review or feel free to email me. Would be nice to keep in touch and exchange experiences (good or bad) with someone who owns this unique piece of machinery.

Update:
Just took the truck on the 50 mile ride, highway mostly. I am still breaking it in so I did not go faster then 60, no matter how much the truck really wants you to push it. It does have tons of power to spare. The ride is amazingly quiet and comfy. Close your eyes (not that I recommend it) and you are sitting in a luxury car. I still can not get use to how pleasant the ride really is. I went to 2wheel steer mode and through the truck from one lane to another - as expected from a big rig it was not very graceful. Then I went to 4 WS and did the very same thing - amazing, it smoothly moved to the nest lane with almost no body roll. One more reason to love it. Another thing, it is fun to watch people point at you as you make a sharp turn and see the look on their faces when they see rear wheels steer.
stay tuned,,,,,more to come
I have had this truck for a while now and I am still finding new reasons to love the machine. Handling and riding comfort are off the charts (for a big truck) and it seems as engine is getting more power delivered as it's breaking in. A few things done to the truck: Flowmaster exhaust system (great sound and a few horses gained, +1-2 miles per gal.). The entire stereo system replaced with a high end package, so now I have no complains about the truck what-so-ever. Everything is in working condition, no complains in that department either. The truck does get lots of attention, sometimes it gets rather annoying, but if you want a conversation piece this vehicle will do the trick. Once again, I am completely happy with the truck and have no regrets. Will see how it will do in the further future.
