Very nice vehicle

this truck is very nice. It drives well, handles extremely well and seems to have good power. I am a bit disappointed in the fuel economy; so far mixed rural highway MPG is about 15.

Love My Silverado LTZ

Great vehicle. Always wanted the LTZ trim and it has all I want. Great ride, handling, power and towing.

Some comfort and fit issues.

I like the pickup but the seats are hard and uncomfortable. I sat in several from 2007-2009 and they were all at least ok. Seems they changed the seats and now they aren't comfortable. The gas pedal is too straight up, so I move the seat back, then the steering wheel is too far, basically I have adjusted the seat for 4 months and it just does not fit. Too bad, rest of it is ok. Oh, mileage on window sticker was 19 hwy, I get 17.

Greatesst amount of options

The Silverado offers the greatest amount of options of any truck in its class. You can get a truck as plain or as dressed up as you like with options like cooled seats and a sunroof.

great upgraded silverado

I bought the 2013 ltz. Comes with a great stereo package. Onstar is a plus. The auto-shifting rear view mirrors lets you look at the curb near your rear tire. A stellar innovation. Should have opted for the rear view camera with radar but it wasnt on the one i bought. The suspension is good for a truck with 18s. For the price, its a good upgrade to a regular old chevy 1500 silverado. I give Chevy a 5 on the LTZ

Nice truck but stiff seats

I like the pickup but it seems they changed the padding in the seats. Drivers seat is too firm, and the panels are fairly flat, not very comfortable. I have sat in 08 and they are good, so it seems they messed with them and messed them up.

Silverado 1500 2012 LT

Purchased this slightly used current year Silverado regular cab LT truck from local dealer. The 20 inch tires definitely add style and the LT version a nice upgrade from the standard WT. If gas is not an issue, this is an excellent value for 25k. I only wish Chevy had made the surround front bumber real chrome steel instead of chrome colored plastic. Disc brakes instead of drum brakes in the rear would have been better as well. Over all 4 stars.

Great Truck

After much research and exploration, test drives, and driving the dealerships crazy I purchased my Silverado. I love my truck, it met all my defined criteria, looks nice, drives great and I fully expect to drive this for many years to come. This is a truck, but extremly responsive and comfortable to drive. Now if I could just learn to park the monster!
