Reliable Truck

Bought this truck several years ago - 2012 and it drives excellent! Pulled a 20 ft boat and trailer to the bay with no problem. It is a little tricky to maneuver around short turns.

Best truck ever

I’ve owned my 2012 Silverado for 6 years and 115K miles. Previous owner took good care of it. I tow a 7000 lb camper, no problem. Minor repairs totaling about $3K over 6 years. Maintenance on time and washed often. Clean and dependable. GREAT truck.

Not for previous truck owners.

This truck is inferior to my old truck in everyway, if I could lemon law it on sheer disappointment I would. Built for people who havent owned and dont need a pickup, but want an suv with a bed. I highly regret buying it.

Good value in a used truck

Just traded in my 2002 Ram with 215k Miles for a 2012 Silverado. Previous owner kept it garaged, so it looks like new. It has 138k miles, but with the front mounted tow bar, most of those miles have been flat towing. Nice interior, leather has held up well with no tears or stains. Back up camera display is 1/3 of rear view mirror, state of the art in 2012. Steering is a little clunky, due to the wide off road tires, this will change with some sensible all-season radials. Not nearly as much interior hidden storage compartments as the Ram, but the upgrade makes up for that. Happy with the truck so far.

Loved the truck .

the 2012 Silverado was a wonderful truck. I needed to upgrade to be better to haul my trailer. Needed something with the tow package. Also with fewer kms.
