Three reasons to buy a used GMC Sierra

June 29 2022 -

When you're in the market for a used truck, you have many options. That said, the GMC Sierra should be at the top of your list of models to consider, as it stands out in terms of performance and power while being particularly fuel efficient.

If you're in the market for a truck, a used GMC Sierra is a great option. Here are three reasons to consider a used GMC Sierra.

Performance through the years

GMC Sierra trucks have always been powerful trucks, but more than that they have long been among the most capable trucks in their segment. The 6.2-liter V8 engine, for example, has long been available and has offered 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque since 2014. That makes the Sierra the most powerful truck in its class for nearly 10 years.

We could say the same thing about the 5.3-liter V8, which has offered 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque since 2014 as well. In short, the Sierra offers outstanding power and has for many years.

Its reliability

According to CarComplaints and the NHTSA, from the 2018 model year through 2021, the Sierra 1500 has been trouble-free. The problems that have been reported or discovered are few and far between. Most of them are not major either, usually affecting things like interior accessories. These are something everyone wants to avoid, but are nothing compared to the frequent engine or transmission issues found on other pickups of the same year.

The 2018 and 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 models have received a few reports of electrical, brake, and transmission issues. These issues are extremely infrequent, with each reported less than 10 times in total. Since some issues are destined to occur with every vehicle at some point, it's not really something to cause avoidance. Problems are even less common on 2020 and 2021 models, again according to CarComplains and NTHSA.

Its value

The GMC Sierra is a truck that retains its value over the years. Those who buy a used model benefit from this value as the model undergoes very little depreciation following the purchase. When you buy a used model, you have in your hands a truck that will sell for very close to what you paid for it even after a few months and a few thousand kilometers. Moreover, even after several years, you will be surprised not only by the value of your Sierra, but also by how easy it will be to sell it.
