Great vehicle that meets my needs

Same pickup style I have been driving for years love it, serves the use I need. It was very affordable.

Early days...

Right up front I only have 500 miles on my LTZ Z71. That's FAR TOO SOON for a definitive review and I'll revise this after six months and a few thousand miles. First impressions are beautiful styling, great cabin and very comfortable on so far short drives. I'll be driving a 1K miles round trip in a couple of months...will have a better idea of long driving comfort then. My reservations about this truck have to do with a "primitively-like" transmission and seemingly 90s era software. The 8-speed tranny hunts for the proper gear at times and shifts with a jolting "thunk" into first gear. My trade in 2003 Sierra shifted like cold pressed virgin olive oil. This tranny is shaping up to be a huge disappointment. The software (Infotainment and safety options) seem to be quite confused . Example: I set up the GPS map vehicle heading up and from time to time it just changes to North Up on its own. Other settings have also changed to "factory default" on their own...as if battery power were somehow briefly lost. And the LKA/LKD system can't seem to read a broken white line, only a solid line. So there is no alert if you drift left without signaling for a lane change. The LKA feature does work nicely IF you drift right over the white "Fog Line". I like that safety feature. The camera does reliably detect vehicles ahead and indicate with a little green car in the driver info display. However to date I haven't seen and indication I was closing too fast or tailgating. But...too soon the judge how this might or might not work. More on my future review. All in all I'm a little concerned. I'm hoping the tranny will figure itself out and the software will grown up and behave itself. Time will tell. I've owned many GM vehicles, my first a 1969 Chevy pickup. Will this be my last?

Great Truck

Much more comfortable than my F150. Great technology, and tows with ease. Only drawback is going between "pages" on the screen.

Great to be back in a pickup!

It was time to trade in my beloved Chevy Avalanche. And, I purchased a gorgeous Graphite Chevy Silverado LTZ. This is an all around and primary vehicle for me. I carry tools with it, I pull a 17 and 1/2 foot boat/trailer with it, and I travel in comfort with it! Go Chevy Silverado!

Most comfortable truck I've owned

Overall great truck! Very good utility function with ability for seats to flip up and LED lighting in the bed. Easy step assist on bumper makes it easier to climb in the bed for work or moving cargo around.
