On the bright side, the power train is excellent. The 4.3 V6 is very responsive and seems to be on par with the 5.3 V8 I had in my 2010. The 6 speed transmission also seems to shift much more intuitively than my 2010 as well. The styling is also attractive but it comes with a downfall. On the other hand, the issues I have found with the truck are significantly larger. First, only word can describe the interior: cheap. The seats are as hard as rock (I had to get a seat cushion to make the ride more tolerable), the grab handle on the driver's side partially obstructs the vision of the driver's left eye, the center arm rest has no storage bin and is not even with the front seats, the sound quality on the radio is as bad as a cheap transistor radio, there is only one single USB port, and the seat belt tends to carve into you neck when you buckle it in. Next, the driver's seat has no seat height adjuster. Even a base model Cruze has it. Driver's come in all shapes and sizes. If you can't adjust the driver's height, it becomes uncomfortable and unsafe to drive. This issue combined with the massive size of the hood really hampers visibility. The truck, in my opinion, is too big and bulky. This makes it hard to see where you are going and if you might hit something. I can not believe that GM could make such a profound error. One of the things I have enjoyed about my previous GM trucks was the compact size of them compared to the F150 and Ram. It made working out of them much easier. This has been completely eliminated with the new design. The truck is simply too big and bulky and has too wide of turning radius to be acceptable, particularly in city driving. Next, the fuel economy is terrible. I am getting 14 mpg in the city. That's lower than the sticker stated. The main reason for that is that huge hood and bulkiness of the truck. It creates too much wind resistance and thus forces the vehicle to work harder. How could GM possibly create a vehicle that has worse fuel economy than its predecessor and its main rivals? Finally, the OEM tires have poor traction in wet weather and their is a lot of wind noise and rattling in the front end when taking the truck up to highway speeds. In the end, this has been a disappointing experience for me. No truck is perfect but for me, the biggest issue with this new design is the poor visibility that is created by: 1. the big hood 2. A lack of height adjustment for the driver's seat 3. The sheer bulkiness of the truck. If you are interested in purchasing the Sierra or its sibling, the Silverado, I strongly suggest that you take it on an extensive test drive and see if the visibility is a concern for you; especially in city traffic and when parking. Don't make the same mistake I made. I've been a loyal GM guy but this design makes me regret my decision and makes me believe that the Ford F150, the Ram, and The Tundra were better options than the over-hyped and overpriced tin can on wheels that masquerades as the Sierra/Silverado.
