2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review: Our expert's take

What it is: Full-size pickup trucks are Detroit’s bread and butter, and when Chevrolet last redesigned the Silverado, for 2014, it took a conservative approach with the styling, sticking with a traditional streel frame and body. The Silverado 1500 shares its platform with the GMC Sierra 1500, but there are significant styling differences to appeal to shoppers with different tastes. Competitors include the Ram 1500, Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra. The Silverado comes in regular-cab, double-cab and crew-cab body styles, and cargo-box lengths range from 5 feet 8 inches to 8 feet.

For truck buyers who need to tow 20,000 pounds or more, there are 2500HD and 3500HD heavy-duty versions of the Silverado.

(Skip to details on the 2500HD and 3500HD)

A backup camera and 7-inch touchscreen radio are now standard. The tire pressure monitoring system now includes a tire-fill alert.

Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD

The heavy-duty versions of the Silverado were redesigned for 2015, when they received stronger cargo boxes, new exterior styling with improved airflow, and new interior styling. For 2018, High Country and Z71 versions get updated grille styling.

What’s Special

Standard 360-horsepower, 6.0-liter gas V-8
Available 445-hp, turbo-diesel 6.6-liter V-8 with 910 pounds-feet of torque
Maximum towing capacity of 20,000 pounds with a conventional trailer hitch (3500HD with dual rear wheels)
Maximum fifth-wheel or gooseneck towing capacity of 23,300 pounds (3500HD with dual rear wheels)

Bad transmissions on 2018 Silverado.

September 5, 2023

By Tonya Ann Vance from Maynard , Ar.

Owns this car

The transmission went out on my 2018 Chevy Silverado with only 80,000 miles on it. GM should be liable for a faulty product. Will not recommend a Chevy Silverado to any friends or family who have owned chevys since 1972.

Pure Junk...

April 16, 2023

By Akchuck from Alaska

Owns this car

What can I say. It's a 2018 silverado 1500 4x4. 5.3L engine that feels like it might have 50 (Fifty) horsepower, auto transmission. It has Zero throttle response, world's worse shocks, wipers freeze in place constantly if you live in a cold area. I had 2000 gmc with a 5.3L , auto trans it had 200,000 miles on it before it was in a wreck and totalled. Everything about the 2000 was 100% better than the 2018. Even got better gas mileage. Personally I think my totalled 2000 gmc is still worth more than this 2018 silverado with 70,000 miles. The best part of this silverado will be the day I get rid of the piece of junk. I'm constantly looking for another 2000 sierra. Do yourself a HUGE favor and avoid buying 1 at all cost. At GM / Chevrolet failure is not an option. It now simply comes standard on everything they make.
