Exactly what I was looking for in a truck.

Rugged, sophisticated, sleek, stylish, powerful, playful, and everything I could ask for at the time. Never owned a truck like this before, and now that I do, I wish I would have bought one sooner.

Great Truck, Terrible (6 Speed) Transmission

I bought a brand new 2017 Silverado 2x4 LT Crew Cab with the 5.3 v8 and 6 speed auto. The truck looks awesome, drives great, has a nice and plush ride, and the 5.3 is a truly excellent powerplant with all the power you need. This was my first Chvey truck after owning a bunch of Fords and I went back to a Ford. While the Silverado looks great, the build quality just isn't on par with Ford IMO. For one, the 6 speed auto (GL80) transmission is terribly tuned (like really bad). The shifts are slow, it's jerky, and there is noticeable hesitation especially when the truck is cold which really killed the experience for me. I even had the truck feel like it was cutting out at times with a rocky back and forth pulsing ride. Drive a new F150 with the 10 speed transmission back to back and compare how smooth it is in comparison to the 6 speed Chevy, seriously. I'm not a Ford fanboy, but Ford really did their homework on the 10 speed in comparison. My only other gripe is build quality of the Chevy. The interior is beautiful and very comfortable and everything is where it's supposed to be -- but there are rattles everywhere. The 2018 F150 I replaced the 2017 Silverado with is vault quiet by comparison. The Silverado had various panels that vibrated, loose pieces in the headliner, a driver's door air leak from day 1, and something in the seats would make a loud clicking noise when going over bumps or when you'd move around. All of this was just a bit disappointing considering I'm not hard on vehicles at all and this was a truck with a ridiculous sticker price of $45,000. If they're going to charge premium prices for pickups, customer expectations go right up with the price. I only owned the truck for 14 months because I didn't have confidence in how it would hold up long term so I traded it in on a smooth, quiet, and rock solid 2018 F150.

Best Vehicle I've Owned

This truck was my dream of owning when I retired. My dream came true in Feb 2017. I retired from civil service May 2016 after working 38 yrs. I got my 2017 Silverado LTZ. I enjoy driving it and feel so comfortable even in my short height (4'11"). It is very dependable and very truck looking in shiny black. I an still receiving compliments on how the truck looks brand new.

Lots of power but good gas mileage

I really like my 2017 Silverado LTZ crew cab. It has the 420hp 6.2 engine and the 8 speed transmission. It has plenty of power for passing and towing, I get 22 mpg in all around driving. On the highway it is smooth and quiet, great acceleration. The only negative is that the transmission occasionally bangs into gear at low speeds.

Nice vehicle

Special ops edition of Silverado, nice vehicle, not many bells and whistles but nice. Does not go well in a small amount of snow, 4WD is a must in any trace amount, reliable so far
