"I searched for several months before making this purchase and was leaning heavily towards the F-150 FX4 model at my local dealership. I was days away from committing and saw an ad at the competitor for a lightly used LTZ 1500 Silverado. Went there, checked out several 1500's and the LTZ stuck. So far I've towed several lawn mowers (light loads), numerous cords of wood (love the spray in bedliner) and a car a few times. Braking was my only concern so far and as long as you know what the vehicle is capable of, you shouldn't have any issues. The interior is quiet, comfortable and somewhat intuitive. I have let my wife drive while I ride passenger and I miss having a flip up/down arm rest. If this is my biggest complaint, it must be decent. Exterior so far is good except the rear bumper doesn't handle low speed impact well. Insurance fixed my wifes discovery. I like the appearance of the truck except the plastic-chrome trim. Real chrome is still made somewhere right? Engine (5.3L with flex option) pulls just fine and accellerates when the skinny pedal is mashed. First few tanks through the engine netted me about 18 mpg. I started conserving (cruising 5mph below speed limits) and scored a smidge over 20 mpg. Switching to an aftermarket air filter and trying the flex fuel (E85) this last tank resulted in nearly 18 mpg so while the fuel is cheaper, the result is not worth the difference in price (miles per dollar slightly dropped). Being my first truck, I can't compare it to others myself, but I am pleased with it."

"I have been looking for this truck for months. Test drove a few. All of them were solid and very impressed with the power and comfort of the Chevy Silverado. I got the 2010 because of the low mileage."

"I made the mistake of cosigning for my bro-in-law... and when he couldn't keep up with the payments I inherited the truck. . . had always driven Ford, but honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. The 5.3L V8 IS STRONG LIKE BULL and the Interior Trim doesn't have any of that fake burl wood garbage- VERY CLEAN BLACK AND STAINLESS STEEL LOOK LOVE MY BOWTIE!"

"Well, it has been over a year and about 31,000 miles for my LT with the interior and exterior accessory packages. Only complaints are the 6 speed transmition can be a bit sluggish with the highway pickup. The truck hassitates a bit when you gotta get up and go. But when it goes, it goes. Other critisizm would be about the cheap metal panels. Don't try to stand on the bedrails of this bad-larry. These bedrails are FOR LOOKS ONLY. Same for the side panels. Otherwise it's a really nice ride. The All-Wheel Drive option is a great feature and the Stability Control performs great in snowy and icy conditions. The instruments are conveniently placed and the seats feel like couches. With 10,000 mile oil changes and 100,000mile tune-ups I feel like GM really took a step up when the redesigned their trucks."

"I got my Silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab with the optional 6.2 liter gas engine coupled to the sweet 6 speed auto and 3:73 gears. This truck flat out hauls @&*!!. Had it dynoed and it put down 313 HP/326 Torque at the wheels bone stock! Transmission is great. Shifts are butter smooth. Ride is almost car like. Very quiet inside. Interior is a bit dated but very functional. The stereo system is much better than what you can get in a Ford or Toyota. I doubt that any other gasoline powered pickup from the competition will touch this truck pulling or in a flat out drag race. If you want power, buy this truck."

"This is my 3rd new Chevrolet Pick-up. 1986, 94 and 2010 models. This is my last one! With cold weather having arrived, we took our first road trip with this truck in such weather on the interstate highway. Right front seat passenger constantly complained of cold air blasting onto her right foot from under the dash(heater box area). Left foot was nice and warm from the heater duct, but the right one stayed frosted! On the ride home, I sat in that location and verified the cold air blowing in. This is the LT version vehicle with 1600 miles on it and if this is what the new GM has to offer, you can count us out! I'll be taking it in for warranty service as soon as the dealer can schedule it but we are very dissappointed! Because of this I have given 'comfort' a one-star rating."
