Thinking of buying the 2001 GMC Sierra?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2001 GMC Sierra for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2001 GMC Sierra for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the Sierra
There are 7 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. NHTSA has 583 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, engine and engine cooling and tires. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Specs, explained
Under the hood: the 4.3L 6-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The EPA rates it at 13.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 41 litres. Driving 300 km costs roughly $64.17 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,950 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Size and space
A pickup is long and tall, so plan for parking and low garages.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Sierra answers the big questions. Rent the Sierra for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2001 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.39 in fuel.
