Miles Overview
The 1996 GMC Sierra 1500 is a full-size pickup that shares its bones with the Chevy C/K, and it's the truck you'd buy for honest work, not luxury. The ride is truck-stiff when empty, but that's the trade for a chassis that can haul a heavy payload without drama. Inside, the cabin is straightforward and durable, with cloth seats and a simple dashboard that holds up well to years of use. These trucks have a reputation for going hundreds of thousands of miles with basic maintenance, especially the Vortec engines that arrived for this year. The SL is the base trim, so you get a vinyl floor covering and manual windows, but the same sturdy chassis and Vortec V8 as the higher-trim Sierras. With the 5.7L V8 and manual transmission driving all four wheels, this Sierra feels strong off the line and sure-footed on loose gravel, though the 14 mpg combined is what you'd expect from a full-size truck. The two-door regular cab means a shorter wheelbase for easier parking, but the back seat is really just a jump seat for occasional use.
