What Owners are Saying About the 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Regular Cab

"GMC 2500HD 4x4 6.0L Vortec is excellent"

"Predictable poor fuel economy but absolutely great truck. I have had zero repairs. Fit 33" BF Goodrich KO2 tires on stock wheels without a lift, also added Bilstein shocks to make it a true Z71. I do run the tires @65psi when empty for some comfort. I just checked the trade in value and the truck has only depreciated 20% in 6 years, not bad at all."

"Indomitable and Strapping Stud"

"When I bought the truck, I knew it was powerful and more than capable of pulling my 8900 lbs travel trailer. But, I wasn't expecting it to pull it over a nearly 9000 foot pass in Utah without even breaking a sweat. It has taken me from Texas to Colorado to Oregon and up the Alaska-Canadan highway with nary a complaint. I expect to be driving this mule for a very long time."

"Does it ALL"

"It handles great, looks great, pulls great, goes in the snow, goes in the field, is a real workhorse!!!"

2011 GMC Sierra 1500 Depreciation

Annual Depreciation is an estimation of what your vehicle's value might be over time based on an average of similar vehicles. Estimations are calculated by comparing Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values of vehicles similar to yours over time, as well as forecasts from Manheim Auction data comparing current and projected auction values against current Kelley Blue Book Private Party and Trade-In Values. This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.
