2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 consumer reviews

Got a 2002 4x4 Z71 with 27,000 miles on it 20 years ago. Now has 178,000. Finally did front brakes at about 160,000. In that time i’ve needed a new driver widow motor, A/C compressor, and parking brake cable. Interior looks like new. Oh, the radio buttons snapped off too. Other than fluids and filter- thats it. Its been a great truck. Awesome in snow with studded tires.

Bought my `02 chev 1500 in 2017, two days after purchase we took a trip to Alaska and back, the truck performed flawless, only problem was a bad battery, which was still factory!. A year later a cross country, no problems with the truck, comfortable, and plenty of power from the 5.3 vortec motor, averaged 17mpg for the trip. The clear coat has peeled off top and hood, normal for this year. Replaced brakes once and of course regular oil changes. Still operating with OEM starter and alternator. 210k miles, no motor work or transmission issues, the 4 speed is bullet proof!

Owned a couple of these trucks. Over a hundred thousand miles on both no troubles at all. 152000 on the one I have now. Would love to find another.

Truck needs rear main seal, oil pan seal, oil sending unit, all new gas lines and gas pump and left wheel bearing. Total 3600.00 bucks. It drives very nice with a rebuilt engine and new brake lines. Thing is when it gets this old with 220,000 miles all the seals go bad eventually. 5.3 vortec is amazing. Not sure how reliable the tranny is. Rust is prevalent for it’s in Minnesota Country. But not terrible with no rust trough. I’m getting this truck for free. So putting $$ into it to fix.

Rides great looks great love that it doesn’t have a bunch of computer stuff starts every time is what a truck is supposed to do and feel like a truck 10 out of 10 recommend

DECENT ENGINE, LOOKS, ROMMIENESS, MILEAGE NOTHING TOO COMPUTERIZED OR COMPLICATED TO MAINTAIN, PARTS ARE EASY TO FIND AND CHEAP, BOUGHT MINE AT 104K MILES AND JUST RECENTLY PUT NEW BRAKE PADS ON THE REAR AT 147K MILES. I DID REPLACE THE BATTERY WITHIN 1 YEAR. AND A FUEL PUMP LAST YEAR AT MAYBE 142K MILES. SO BASICALLY 1K DOLLARS IN THE 7 YEARS/ 43K MILES I'VE OWNED IT AND I PAID $7500 FOR IT. SO ITS PAID FOR ITESELF MANY TIMES IN HAULING. THE 4X4 WORKS GREAT TOO! I SHOULD BE A OK FOR AWHILE. THE TRANSMISSION IS FINE AS WELL.

Very shaky, doesn’t do well in the cold. Starting it up it usually dies unless you are ready to go immediately. The service lights come on for no reason, and it sounds awful. One plus is the small cabin so when it is cold it warms up quickly and when it is hot it cools down quickly. It is not cost effective.

A fantastic truck that is an all time favorite. It just pure down the road ,all the features almost 20 yrs later are a favorite. I love this body design and a Chevy is my number one pick; I will never let it go Only Just many more happy maintenance free.

Like the front end look on the 2002 better than the 2003-2007, and the interior better than the 2007 -2013. It gets descent gas mileage, and very comfortable ride.

Dependable, strong, sturdy, changed my opinion on GM products. I would have kept it but I needed more interior room for my family. Overall satisfaction rating is 10 out of 10.
