I found it hard to believe that a full-sized, 4x4, V8 pickup gets 22MPH So, based on data from 166 vehicles, 14,968 fuel-ups and 4,453,614 miles of driving, the 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 gets a combined Avg MPG of 16.43 with a 0.05 MPG margin of error.

Extended warranties are a total scam, got one for my Mazda, but when the freeze plug came out at 3000 miles, they said they wouldn’t cover it because the extended warranty didn’t cover the cooling system. Basically, there were so many exemptions, that the extended warranty was useless.

The only complaint he had about his GMC is that it only comes in automatic He loves it. Much smoother less bumpy rocky and quieter ride and solid Has not had not 1 single issue with it since he bought it in 2017. It was a new left over got cheap (cuz it was a last years model!😂 saved $8k off the MSRP) He got it at the right time cuz reg gas prices here at that time got up to $4.75 a gal and diesel was even more.

I almost bought a used truck from a national used car dealer but found out before I signed that there was a known issue with some air pump. They offered an extended warranty for extra but I wasn’t sure because my past experience was the warranty did not cover everything they led me to believe they would. They brought in the service manager and he assured me that he could write up the service ticket to assure the warranty would cover any work. I realized I was in the company of crooks and walked out. Never been back.

@@cormaro13 Are you serious or delusional? I've seen videos that mechanics have posted of used cars that customers have bought and bring in for a rattle. Getting the thing up in the air reveals the frame is totally rusted through and that a piece of metal bar has been bolted across the gap and bolted on with bolts from Home Depot. Look up "Dealership Scams" and you see page after page of things dealers have tried, some going back to the 30's and using sawdust in a tranny to smooth it out long enough to get it off the lot. Scammers ARE crooks. The service rep just told me he could word the writeup to validate the warranty. Don't be naive. I use to be young and stupid, then I learned from my mistakes.

Yeah, I agree, these things sound like a total scam. The fine print probably reads that if your car breaks down on a day of the week that ends in 'Y', your 'warranty' is null and void. Scotty knows what the hell he's talking about and is a national treasure.

I got lucky with the one and only extended warranty I ever bought. It was for my 1996 Plymouth Neon. A cooling fan failed and my engine overheated in traffic at around 40K, blowing the head gasket and warping the heads. The EW picked up the entire cost. The lesson, though, wasn't that EW's are a good value. The lesson was not to buy crappy cars. That Neon was nothing but trouble. I traded it in at 63k miles, and never looked back.

Scotty You say GMC hold up better than Chevy...I have to disagree. I have a 2013 Silverado with the 4.3 V6. It has 288,000 miles on it. It is my daily driver, I drive 124 miles round trip a day, 5 days a week. My transmission has NEVER been serviced, and it shifts like it should. I have replaced 1 set of plugs, 1 battery, 5 sets of tires, 1 set of rear brakes and 3 sets of front brakes, 1 water pump just last winter. I replace the 1pc belt every year, just because. I have replaced 1 throttle body 2 years ago. Other than that, it is all original. Believe it or not, even all of marker bulbs and turn signal bulbs are original. I have had to replace headlight bulbs twice. With 288k and running smooth as silk, I can and will NEVER complain about my Silverado. It has been the best vehicle I have EVER owned. Dave

I've had extended warranties with past and current vehicle. Never once had an issue with submitting a claim for repairs.

Had a broken exhaust manifold bolt on my 2011 Sierra 6.2L. Fixed it with the clamp system from Kral Auto. Works great.

I had an 1985 Chevy full size van with a warranty. At 70K miles the transmission died. Fixed under warranty. One day out of the shop the alternator quit also covered.

Good point Scotty some dealers don't honor Warrantys I worked at Ford Dealership s for many years

My dad's got a 98 Sierra, with over 300,000 miles, original engine, differential, transmission, and I think original suspension too (the thing creaks and groans, but damn does it still run!). It's still doing good despite my dad forgetting to change the oil. My 02 Envoy XL has almost 250,000, original engine, differential, rebuilt transmission, and mostly original suspension (outer tie rods and CV axles). It's odd to me how different GMC and Chevy build their vehicles even though they're EXACTLY the same but rebadged.

Im the same. Had a few 90s Gms. Built solid. Had 2 post 07 chevys. Both junk. One lost a motor, one a transmission(2500hd) before 120k. They also still have the lifter issue 15 years later! 15 years and they refuse to fix it! Now have a Tundra and I love it. Wont be going back.

He is right about Chevy Vs. GMC, I found the same thing with all the rigs I owned. GMC is great quality. Chevy has always been OK. It is strange, I had an 87 s15 Jimmy, a friend of mine got the S10 Chevy, same engine, same everything. I dove mine several years longer and many more miles than his Chevy.

I've never bought an extended warranty. When you look at the fine print there are nothing but loop holes. You're more or less throwing your money away.

Always say no to the extended warranty and put that money into a repair fund instead. When your car is outside it's manufacturers warranty use your repair fund. Most people never even use their extended warranties and stealerships know this.

I have a factory lifetime powertrain warranty on a 2009 jeep. 3rd transmission, Driveshafts and axle shafts replaced, oil leaks get fixed under warranty. ❤

Informative as always

You are right. My 2003 Silverado was one of last great ones. I would by another from that year in a minute

My dad got the extended warranty for an S10 p/u he bought new. I thought he was nuts cause he never kept his trucks long. He put over 100k on it, and when the motor went, they replaced it. Cost him $100. I was shocked they honored the warranty

Car looks fantastic ! Here in Europe, you would be the King of the Road

I bought my 2004 Silverado Z71 brand new, drove it 225K and only needed consumables (tires, brakes, batteries) and eventually needed an alternator, a power steering cooler, and the dash needed new stepper motors. I gave it to my oldest grandson about 2 years ago and he is still driving it with the original 5.3, trans, and the entire original 4x4 system (transfer case, differentials, etc) and it has over 260K now. Replaced it with a 2021 Silverado RST Z71 with the 3.0L diesel getting an average of 27.5 MPG going off pump receipts. Take care of maintenance and they can take care of you!

I love my 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4, it has the 5.3L v8 and 6 speed automatic transmission, it has almost 49000 miles.

I've got a 2017 LTZ silverado that is the literal equivalent to this truck and to this point it has been a very good pickup for me, but it also has about 100k miles less than this one too. I did put a superchips on it to remove MDS and also had the transmission thermostat replaced with the lower temperature OEM one to get the best longevity out of my truck, but we shall see.

"Oh yeah, I'm turning over there" LMFAO 🤣

I bought a new 2004, fairly plain but nice enough LS trim level, Chevy 2500 Silverado duramax 4X4. Still have it. It looks like maybe 3 years old, is perfect. Nothing has been replaced except the in-tank fuel pump when it was nearly new. Just failed, no idea why. That’s it. I’ve got nothing bad to say about that Chevy truck. It pulls, runs great, everything works, nothing is worn out. Truthfully it steers like an aircraft carrier. So I drive it at a stately pace. All good.

At one time I worked for 2 different extended warranty companies, one in the field the other in an office, I was told to deny claims for any small infractions, including if they missed a oil change by date or a minimal amount of mileage, they are definitely a rip off, o don’t think the movie stars that do their commercials have vehicles that need extended warranties

You’re right Scotty. I will never buy a Chevy 1500 after 2014. They are junk.

My 2007 GMC Yukon has 800,000, original transmission, original everything. The only problem is the seats(the leather has scratches and cracks in it)

I can't believe nobody knows what that bolt really is! It's an exhaust manifold bolt. With the steel bolts/studs and aluminium heads, they react to heat differently. This is a VERY common problem on GM and Ford trucks.

Best vehicle i ever owned was a plain Jane gmc Sierra 3.6l v6. Should have never sold it. 170k miles nothing repaired except fluids

Back in the 70's & 80's I recall that GMC was to CHEVY what Lincoln Mercury was to FORD... more whistles and bells, and the perception of a higher standard of quality control.

I have a 2016 Sierra. On the inside of the door it says assembled in fort Wayne Indiana. Had a 97 k1500. Was a good truck. Ill see how this GMC is but thinking next id pick up a older 5.7 tundra trd package.

I bought my '01 Silverado brand new and it is still perfect at 165K miles. Always synthetic oil from 10K miles on. Only things I've had to do is water pump at 110K and fuel pump at 105K. Still tows great too. Though mine was built in Canada eh

LS manifold bolts are notorious for breaking off. A steel bolt through a cast manifold into aluminum. What could go wrong? Weld a nut on it and back it out. I had 7 broken bolts on my 6.0 manifolds. It started to make a helluva racket😂

My torque converter took a dump and ruined the whole transmission. The all-inclusive total was $6500 for a factory reman, my extended warranty covered all but $2200 because they wanted to replace it with a used transmission so I paid the difference for the factory reman... so the warranty saved me $4300.

I would be standing in front of the dealership with a sign , telling them not to get the extended warranty, they don't honor it.

Ford builds better HD trucks lately... GM hasn't been good since early 2000's!

I have a 94’ Jeep Cherokee sport that a bolt broke off the exhaust manifold.. ugh

I have a 2019 with 35000 miles on it. Bought a year ago for $35000. I get between 23 & 26 mpg. Now, it is a 2nd but I wouldn’t get rid of my truck even it I could double my money.

Yep I won't buy another extended warranty

my 2000 gmc had 4 studs on each side rot off fixed it my self, gm says its not a safety issue so it aint under warranty or recall.

I would have contacted the DMV regarding the warranty policy if it was rejected since a regulated auto manufacturer or dealer didn't abide to their contractual warranty obligations. Last I checked, everything that's connected to the powertrain is part of the powertrain and it's warranty, it's even in the dictionary what a power train is.

@J Beck They're the regulator in the US and have the ability to suspend their operating licenses.
