Great truck

It's a great truck. Reliable, comfortable and will get the job done if used for work. I rated performance low only because mine has a 5.3L V8 and I used to have a 6.2L V8, so the 5.3L is slow for my taste but plenty for the average person. I used mine as a sports truck with a 2" lowering kit.

Most unreliable truck I've ever owned

Have had nothing but trouble and only had it a month going to get a lawyer and I guess I will see them in court

Super good Truck

It fits my needs and looks sharp. It rides incredibly well, makes plenty of power and is not too bad on gas. I would buy another Silverado.

Best truck, reliable, excellent mileage, workhorse

This truck has the extended cab suicide style doors that are VERY convenient. Interior is ergonomic. I have owned 3 of this model and won't buy anything else. The HD 6 speed automatic transmission is fantastic and allows for terrific mileage . It is super reliable .. all around FANTASIC truck.

So far so good.

Interior in great condition, runs smooth and nice. Lots of room in the cab. Sound system is great and bluetooth was easy to connect. Drives great!

Most reliable truck I've owned.

Great value I drove this vehicle for 9yrs and never had any issues commuting to work daily. Loved the handling and having R85 fuel feature help save money on gas

Do not buy any Chevy Silverado trucks!!

Terrible vehicle. 2011 model. $5,100 to fix issues with oil consumption at 110k miles. Transmission problems at 144k miles. The truck is not driven hard, I don’t pull anything with it. I’ve never owned such a piece of junk in 24yrs of driving.

This truck is just bad

Worse truck I have ever had. I really take care of my truck and a lot of things on the this just broke off. For example side trims fell off. Cover for the mirror on the driver visor fell off. The clip (keeps it locked) on the center counsel broke... the door knobs of the driver and passenger door fell off. This truck is just bad!

Just a great truck.

I have had my 2011 Silverado 1500 Max Tow 4x4 Extended Cab since it was new. This truck has never let me down and never fails to put a smile on my face when I need it to do something new or challenging. One of the most comfortable long-haul vehicles I have ever owned. Power to spare (6.2 liter engine) and reasonable gas mileage (average of 15.8 mpg over 65,000 city and highway miles). My local Chevrolet Dealership does all of the routine maintenance and I have never had any problems, small or large, with this truck. As reliable as the proverbial Swiss Watch.
