    The 2005 Chevy truck is one of the best chevrolet silverado models in history. It has a remarkable comfort and towing level...is easy to work on, and can complete any task you put it to!

    Very reliable diesel pickup with plenty of power.

    I like the exterior design & styling. Leather seats are very comfortable with power seats in the front and two driver memory for driver seat. Handles very well for the year model. I would recommend the classic body style models.

    This truck drives like a Cadillac.

    This truck drives like a dream. It has all the utility of a diesel pickup, but the comfort and smooth ride of a luxury car. It's been meticulously maintained and will run forever. Just a great truck.

    My first diesel pickup

    I absolutely love my truck. The room it has is unbelievable and the comfort is just mind blowing. The truck has power with the 6.6L diesel V8 backed by the best transmission in the auto industry (Allison). My truck is only a two wheel drive but you?d never know with the way it sits. I would buy another one of these trucks in a heartbeat.

    Powerful truck for towing

    Great truck. I?ll miss it but I didn?t need a big diesel truck for towing any more. My only gripe is that the engine temp would get really high while towing.

    Wouldn?t trade it for anything else.

    Comfort and ease of use going doing the highway, never had any issues with it whatsoever. Fuel filters are the expensive part. Just go ahead and get yourself a decent cat filter setup and call it a day.

    Most reliable truck I have ever owned.

    Being a diesel, the truck gets great fuel mileage and still has enough power to do whatever you need to do. Regular maintenance is easy and affordable. Has never left me stranded, even in the coldest weather.
