2001 GMC Sonoma Extended Cab

Pros: An abundance of power. Large roomy interior. Smooth ride
Cons: 18 mpg from a small truck, I got the same with a king-cab f-150.

I bought this truck used two years ago. According to carfax it had been a rental in Las Vegas and then bounced from dealer to dealer around the desert southwest. It had seen some hard years in the sun and at least one break in. I have the three door with a v-6. I'm six foot two and can stretch out nicely. Lots of storage in the back, and a jump seat that would be suitable for a child. This truck gets up and hauls. And for here in Tucson a must, AC that is actually too cold. I expect to keep this one for at least another ten years

Pros: Compact, great power, great capacity, easy driving
Cons: Costs more in gas than a car and is not meant for family.

We've bought this amazing compact truck in 2003 because my husband felt in love with it.

At first, I was a bit reluctant to purchase a truck because we live in downtown Montreal (Province of Quebec in Canada) and it's not ideal to own and most of all, park a truck.

My husband insisted and we left on a huge road trip around the province. It has shown not sign of weakness or problem and did not cost too much in gas considering the size of the vehicle. The driving is smooth and easy, almost closer to a car driving feeling than anything else.

The extended cab is amazing with a 3rd seat for a guest. The cab also offers huge inside storage that adds up with the exterior storage for an amazing capacity's small truck.

We have used it about 20 times for moving friends out without any problem. Get transport straps, they will help maximize the capacity.

We've also done major home improvements and have used it to transport all sorts of materials during months. This is a strong and liable bulldog truck. I strongly recommend it. And it's easy to park too!

Pros: solid truck
Cons: 3rd door handle, underpowered, 2 passenger max

i recieved a gmc sonoma on my 17th birthday (july 02) i have since then put 34,000 miles on my little truck.
driving:
comfortable to drive for long periods of time
good visibility around the entire vehicle
rear view mirrors give good visibility behind truck
comes with good tires
good fuel economy
larger bed than most small pick ups
handles well

electronics
easy to read instruments
easier to opperate the radio/cd player than in my moms accord
eaverything is simple to opperate (head lights,cruise control, chairs, ect)
cruise control is easy to opperate and maintanes speed well


things ive had to fix:
my 3rd door handle broke cause it was hard to pull on top of the fact it was thin plastic, thats the only problem i had the dealership fixed it in about 5 minutes

i recomend the v-6 cause my four cylender is a little under powered. and the back seat is pretty small but still comfortable
