10 Reasons Why You Should AVOID The New 2024 GMC Sierra!

10 Reasons Why You Should AVOID The New 2024 GMC Sierra!

There are many good things about the 2024 GMC Sierra, but with so many great pickup truck options out there, ‘good’ simply won’t cut it anymore, so, here are 10 reasons why you should avoid the new Sierra pickup..

You’ll get better value from the Chevy Silverado
When we say GMC Sierra don’t you also hear a Chevy Silverado roaring in the background? You should. At first glance, their exteriors may play a different tune, but beneath all that chrome and paint, they’re twins with similar capabilities, but different price tags.
Both GMC Sierra 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 roll out as single, double, or crew cabs, with beds stretching from 5.8 to 8.2 feet. Engine choices? Plenty, from turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinders pushing out identical torque figures, to powerful 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8 , and a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six Duramax diesel engine.
However, the Chevy is easier on your pocket. Sure, both are heavy trucks, but why pay more for the same core? The base Sierra comes in about a grand steeper. Move up the ladder? The Sierra Elevation trim level boasts a $52K price tag. Meanwhile, Silverado? It invites you to ride premium at just $49K.
Considering the top-tier models from each side? The Sierra Denali has you shelling out a hefty $85K and more, while the Silverado's High Country lounges comfortably from around $64k. Quite the gap for what's under the hood, wouldn't you say?
Towing performance? The Sierra 1500 flexes with a 13,200-pound tow capacity. But here's a twist: the more budget-friendly Silverado outdoes it, pulling a remarkable 13,300 pounds.
The same applies to the GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD and the Chevy Silverado 2500/3500HD models. Pretty much the same car, but hefty price tag on the Sierra side, and we don’t think it’s worth it.

Product safety recalls
The 2024 GMC Sierra HD trucks had a recent recall. This is due to an issue with the steering gear shaft, which might break during operation.
It seems that a manufacturing error occurred because of faulty parts from a supplier. In the worst-case scenario, this means the gear shaft might fully separate from the steering arm.
What's at risk? If the steering gear shaft breaks, drivers will lose all steering control of their 2024 GMC Sierra HD. This is dangerous as it could lead to accidents, potentially damaging the truck, other vehicles, properties, or even causing injuries or fatalities to people involved.
Dealerships holding 2024 GMC Sierra HD trucks should inspect every unit based on GM's guidelines. Until the truck passes inspection, using it for test drives, trading, or selling it is prohibited by federal law.
It lacks the off-road prowess of an F-150 Raptor
So, the Sierra 1500 offers a choice between four engines, two transmissions, and the option of rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. At its base, it boasts a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 310 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Two V-8 engines are available: one is a 5.3-liter with 355 horsepower, and the other, a 6.2-liter, offers 420 horsepower. Additionally, there's a powerful diesel six-cylinder engine that delivers a remarkable 460 pound-feet of torque. These engines come connected to a 10-speed automatic. Notably, the GMC Sierra's premium Denali Ultimate version, featuring the 6.2-liter V-8, accelerates to 60 mph in roughly 5.4 seconds. That’s quite impressive. So, it’s got good power.
Yet, when it comes to off-roading, the GMC Sierra doesn't quite stack up to the Ford F-150 Raptor. The Raptor is designed for tough terrains, boasting features like Trail Control and Trail 1-Pedal Drive, making off-road challenges seem easy. The GMC Sierra feels more like a rugged workhorse that would like to tow big things on tarmac at most.
It’s true, the new 2024 GMC Sierra AT4 variant comes with a 2.0-inch suspension lift and is equipped with advanced gear like spool-valve dampers, electronic-locking differentials, additional skid plates, and robust off-road tires, similar to those on the Silverado. But these features pale in comparison to the Raptor's high-tech Fox Dual Live Valve dampers and extensive suspension system, ensuring a cushioned ride across rugged terrains. Even outside challenging trails, the Raptor maintains a ride comfort resembling a premium tall sedan, while the GMC falls short.

I’ve got a 2022 Sierra Denali with 10, 900 miles that’s been at the dealer for almost 2 months with a transmission failure. Why 2 months? Because they’ve been trying to duct tape it back together to keep from safely repairing it or replacing the vehicle. Stay away from GMC. There’s a reason that they have a weak 3/36, 000 mile warranty.

Watching this was a real waste of time!

The GMC is a much better looking truck than the Chev...I find the Chev just looks off and wonky compared to the sexy GMC.

[thomasmoshier]

The GMC Sierra is by far and away the best looking truck and it even isn’t close. And therefore worth the additional cost. The refreshed interior with the bigger display screen rivals Ford. While the Dodge interior looks like it came out of a Tesla. No thank you. The Hemi engine in the Dodge is a gas guzzler and the Ford with its turbo V6 has had multiple issues and failures. I’m quite happy with my GMC Sierra.

I own the 2023 GMC Sierra AT4 and this is an amazing truck! I find this post to be unnecessarily biased in its criticism. The Duramax engine gets exceptional gas milage with hefty low end torque! You will not be disappointed with this choice and it is well worth the upgraded price over the Silverodo.

Ur comparing a raptor to a sierra. If ur gonna compare compare the standard f150. It's raptor vs at4x.

I bought a 2024 GMC Sierra Duramax with a 3.0 inline 6 engine. This truck is fantastic - it's luxurious and has impressive speed. The GMC Sierra Duramax is truly top-notch. The sleek design and powerful engine make it a pleasure to drive. The interior is spacious and comfortable, with all the latest technology and amenities. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend the GMC Sierra Duramax to anyone in the market for a new truck. It truly is a premium vehicle that exceeds expectations in every way.

I’ve test drove Sierra 1500, Silverado 1500, RAM 1500, and F-150.
I didn’t experience what you show here. Actually, what you didn’t show, just spoke about.

[lakers]

Car and driver gave the Silverado a 6/10 and the Sierra 1500 a 8.5/10

[Rcol]

Wouldn’t compare it to the raptor… different use and much different price tag. The raptor is around 100k . Compare it to the F150 line
I have a 24 Chevy HD duramax with the midnight edition. I picked it over the GMC because I like the Chevy look better! That’s what’s great about this country.. we have choices!

[shippsdip]

Insane price for these trucks. None of them are worth more then $40k yet they are selling for $60k + INSANE.

[AADmrstangerbanger]

Got the premium 3.0 Durmax 1500 then went and lifted it and now it gets good gas milage and is a beast of road .This video is off IMO and I wouldnt buy a Ram if you paid me lol haha. Truck rides amazing and 100k mile warranty works for me.

[ColoreDiVita]

Did you even drive one before making this video? It doesn't drive like a truck at all! It feels like you're floating on a cloud. It's one of the things that impressed me since I was expecting it to drive like a truck (as it is one). Some of the other points you made were also wrong or sounds like you've never been in one. There's so much to love about this awesome truck. I love mine.

[iyannhabrown]

I muted the video and checked the comments to see what we the pple think😂. I don’t know if I want a Silverado or Sierra and this video didn’t help lol

[UrCuban]

I test drove both and the Silverado was missing luxury features unless buying higher trims. I rather the luxury😊

[pfunk]

I test drove a 2024 GMC Sierra with the AT4 package yesterday and I found it to drive very smooth and it handled well. By far the best looking full size pickup in the market. Your review is baseless in my opinion.

[damnyankeerebelprepper]

All of these trucks miss the mark. A utility work vehicle people can afford.

[ericfriedle]

Their are differences in materials and options. Gmc has for example more sound dampening material. As well gmc offers more options with their vehicles that as a result adds weight which is why it would then have a lower tow rating.

As for raptor comparison only the TRX is actually a comparison. The AT4 is more of a tremor comparison.

[keelynnemalek]

I have the 2024 GMC Ultimate HD and it is an incredible truck, 1 year with 0 issues. Highly recommend this truck hands down !

[drewsky]

I'm a Ford guy and this video is totally crap. The new GMCs are amazing and honestly the first time ive considered getting one over a Ford, there the best looking trucks out there now days and the interior is excellent...
