"I replaced a Chevy Colorado with this Silverado. Gas milage was less but the towing performance was much better I got a great deal on it. It has a lot more room, rides smoother, and pulls my boat much better. I have the extended cab which gives me much more interior room."

"Like a rock now has a nice comfortable ride. The Chevy extended cab pickup has an upscale feel compared to older models. It's a worker that feels and looks like a "softy"."

Love this 2009 Chevy 1500 Silverado LTZ!

"I have been a Ford pickup man for 31 years and this is my first Chevy pickup. I drove a 2009 F-150 Lariat (interior seemed cheap) and a Dodge 1500 Laramie (already had interior rattles) before choosing the Chevy 1500 Silverado crew cab 4x4 LTZ. The Chevy was much better in driving comfort, handling, body quality and interior quality. The 20" wheels with the performance suspension handles very nicely. And I get 17.5-18 mpg driving around town (city/highway) and up to 21 mpg on the highway (the bed cover and K&N air filter help). Not bad for a big pickup! I am over 6'2" tall and the seats fit me quite comfortably. The only fault I can find is that the leather around the front seats have an exposed edge were it meets the pocket in the back (looks a little tacky, but not too noticable). Overall, I really love this truck! It is solid and so far I have had absolutely no problems."

Fair mileage for a 4X4 (19 mpg avg)Very comfortable. Have a vast dislike for colth seat materal. (shows all spots and is hard to clean.) 373 gear is great to tow,but rough on gas."

"Bought a 2009 CPO Silverado LS in April. It had only been in service (based on Carfax report) for 12 mos. at time of my purchase. Got a great trade for my Ranger Supercab XL. The 4.8 Gen 4 motor is smooth and strong; nary a hiccup. Trans is an auto 4 speed, but very smooth and always predictable. Interior controls are the best in the biz. Other excellent prospects to try in that price range are Ram 1500 4.7 models. Priced very attractively in the Southeast."

Good deal, bad truck

"The only great mention for this truck is the incredible deal I got for it. The 4.8L 4-speed is gutless. Ford's 4.6L has more torque and doesn't struggle near as much on hills or while towing as my 4.8L does. The transmission shift points are funny to say the least. The transmission feels loose, as when going from a rolling stop it feels that transmission slaps the torque onto the rear-end instead of being smooth. Gas mileage is a joke, barely 19mpg on highway. The interior feels cheap. The interior paint is rubbing off of the steering wheel and driver side door. The seats are hard and unsupporting. The ride quality is good, comfortable. This is my first and last Chevy truck I'll ever buy."
