So I was looking into trading my car in for a 2014 Sierra until I saw the reviews online and the issues the first 2 years of that generation seem to have from lights to AC to transmission issues. What has me confused is why I'm not finding the same thing for the Silverado's of the same years. Can anybody fill me in as to why the Sierra seems to be riddled with issues? I'm drooling over the Sierra All Terrain of this generation. Also, sorry if this has been asked a dozen times.

They have the same issues

Other than a few cosmetic differences, they are the same truck.
Same engines, transmissions, etc.
They roll off the same assembly line during production.

The difference in buying a 2014 now as opposed to buying one in 2014 is that they have fixes and upgrades to prevent future issues now. So if you do buy one do your homework and when something breaks fix it with better parts.

So depends on what body style you prefer but yeah exact same k2xx platform truck

Regardless of what some grumpy GMC owners might try to tell you to make themselves feel better for spending more money on a Sierra 😆, aside from cosmetics, they are still the same and come from the same production lines.

I worked at the GM Assembly plant in Fairfax Kansas.

Slightly over a month ago..i found a 2012 "Bright white" Silverado extended cab and bought it. It drives and handles super great....I'm going to replace the factory radio soon...it has the very common issue of a bad display..The trucks been very well maintained and the interior is near like...

Are you referring to a certain well aged gmc owner on this forum that has a pic of a certain president starting into space saying animated gifs are distracting 😂

Both have issues, it comes down to taste.
If you are the type that settles for mediocrity and your taste has you wearing socks with sandals then you are more than likely a candidate for the Silverado.
On the other hand if you like quality and have better taste then the pro grade GMC is probably more your style.

Good luck on making your choice and if you find yourself leaning towards the GMC side, congrats on making a wise decision.
If you find yourself leaning more towards the Silverado however, just don't be surprised you find yourself trying to justify why you went with the less pro grade truck, Lord knows there are many on here like that. Some have even gone so far as to destroy their Silverados by crashing, burning etc. when they finally realized their mistake.

I haven't had any issues with my pro grade 2015 Sierra and love it.

GMC all the way. If you do by a Silverado please put the phrase Dear Mr bowtie killer on your windshield.

I have been a GM truck owner since 1988. It was my first ever 'new' vehicle purchase also. Had always bought used before that. When I am ready to buy, I first narrow down the year range I can afford and look how each Chevy/GMC models look. It makes me no difference, GMC or Chevy, whichever one appeals to me at the time.

I've been a GM truck owner since 1986. I bought a new S15 with a V6 and a few amenities. It was my first new vehicle because I could afford only beaters up until then.

My theory has been verified.

Whatever helps you sleep at night sierra Harley 😂

Wondering why GM is building lemons? Engineer is too busy birdwatching!🤣🤣

Real men wear white socks with Teva sandals and drive WT Silverados.
