Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: 4WD works great and ease of use.
SLT trim is nice.
Cons: SLE trim is cheap.
4:10 gears are a waste.
Ext cab windows
The Bottom Line: I would own a crew cab Z71 SLT trim model. I would stay away from the extended cab and the SLE trim.
I owned both trim models in 2005. Both trucks came with the 5.3L motor. The SLT came with 3.42 axles while I got 4.10's in the SLE. The 4.10's were a waste in the SLE. The only difference was 17 mpg in the SLE with 4.10's compared to 21 mpg in the SLT ... read more

2005 Gmc Sierra Extended Cab SLT2 4x4 (not to be confused with the z71 option). This truck was purchased for my mom, and being the son that I am, I wanted nothing but the best for my mother. She had saved for 10 years for a new truck. This truck has a ... read more

Pros: Style, Comfort, On-Star, Performance, ride, handling & overall capabilities.
Cons: Turning radius, wind noise at speed, & no bed security (tailgate lock).
The Bottom Line: As an all round vehicle it excels. To avoid wind noise at highway speeds, don't pick the extended cab. Try it, if you like trucks, this is for you.
I purchased this vehicle new in July of 05, and have lived with it for 18 months now. Why did I buy this one? I had wanted a truck for a while, and in 05, at the peak of the "Employee pricing" boom, it became a financial possibility. The ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Comfortable; excellent passenger, cargo, and towing capacity
Cons: Poor fuel economy and turning radius
The Bottom Line: This is a comfortable, full-featured truck with room for the family.
Styling is subjective, but I find that the Sierra is a mature, understated design compared to more aggressively designed competitors from Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Nissan, and Toyota. The only obvious drawbacks in the exterior design are that door handles ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Smooth ride, handling, power, available options, braking
Cons: Gas mileage (remember it's a truck) few less features than prior years
The Bottom Line: Recommended. Smooth and powerful, yet strong and sturdy make this truck a good tow vehicle or an all-around utility vehicle. The extend cab offers plenty of room.
Overview: So far I love this truck! The suspension us tough, but very smooth over the bumps and the 5.3L V8 provides more than enough power for a 1/2; ton pickup. Way to go GM! Why did I buy? I think what sold me was the ride quality. It's no ... read more
