1997 Chevrolet 1500 consumer reviews

I wouldn’t call it a reliable truck I’d more or less call it a hardy truck just because of the availability of parts when things inevitably break on this thing. The 4L60E Transmission is a piece of GM crap. However the ride is extremely nice on these things on any terrain and the cap is very well designed for a lack of blind spots offering a full view around the truck.

I put 275000 miles on that truck with the V6 Vortex engine. Only that happened is it jumped time. So I sold the man fixed it and drove it.

This car has never given us a hassle and has continued to run smoothly since 1997. The seats are comfortable and the car rides smooth. This car has an estimated 7-10 years left with minimal maintenance and even more with care.

Needs some work would recommend for parts or project vehicle if your spouse or off spring is in to thing like this then I would recommend

I have a 1997 Chevy Silverado 5.7 4x4 plenty of room plenty of power 209 Thousand Miles still running strong great truck I would recommend this to talk to anybody that wants reliability and cheap maintenance

I loved this truck. I really didn’t want to sell it because of the memories it holds. But I bought a new car and I just don’t have the time or money to refurbish it. I would love to see her brought back to her glory and driven. She was a great vehicle and would be a safe truck for the winter.

It's been a reliable truck that has the comfort of a car. The heater will keep you toasty in Winter. It also has a new battery and runs great. Has some rust, dings and wear. The topper / shell will keep your stuff dry. 8' bed is perfect for hauling drywall, lumber or whatever.

This vehicle has been very dependable and has met all my needs. I love it! It?s older but it runs like it?s bran new. I hate to get rid of it but I need something bigger for my family

Had three hundred thousand miles on it when I traded it in for my 2004 Silverado extended cab 4x4 lt edition it was very good on gas and had lots of power 5.7 V8 auto 2 wheel drive

I have 300000 miles on mine and it still running like a champ same motor 3 transmissions best truck for the money plenty of room inside room for 5
