Worst vehicle I ever owned

This truck is terrible. With windows down truck rattles and vibrates so bad its unbearable. The weatherstripping leaks so bad you think it wasn't there. Shock absorbers feel like their 30 years old. Only thing good is the exterior

Very pretty and easy to drive.

Love almost everything about this truck. Could use more USB ports and make them easier to find. Love all the features; backup camera and Onstar.

So far so good.

Got the Silverado 1500 with 5.3 motor. It’s comfortable and The ride quality is exceptional. Only complaint is it definitely is a little sluggish and lacks power. Same with the 6.2 motor. Unfortunately GM just can’t compete with the Hemi when it comes to power and torque. Throttle isn’t very responsive. Other than that, I love the truck.

Beware of ghost radio.

First month radio started functioning on its own. When truck shut down radio kept playing. Could not control it. Would hang up cell phone on first ring, lost jobs. After 4 visits to service finally replaced radio...still same problem. Service manager said a 5th time might do the trick but would have to leave with them 1 week. Am thinking of hiring lemon law lawyer. Service department lied to me on 3 occasions...bummed

Silverado is a sweet ride

Making more trips over the I90 pass in Washington and wanted a bigger vehicle then my other SUV. Feel very comfortable driving in snow storms crossing the mountain range. Very comfortable to drive with all the features. I bought it off the lot 11/18 with 29 miles. There are a few options I wish it had and if I would have thought about the little things I might have looked at a 2019. But it is what it is and overall the

LOVE MY NEW TRUCK

I love my new truck, it has everything anyone could ask for. I love all the features that come with it. I think the apple play is one of the best radio systems you could have.

Chevy Silverado 1500

The truck is great, gas mileage is only 1-2 less than my Forester which blows my mind. First trip over the weekend and 22+ doing 70+and some around town thrown in. My only complaints, the wiper controls aren't as friendly as my old Subie but very usable. Checking the oil, I had to get a folding step stool from Harbor Freight to reach the dip stick without rubbing on the side of the truck and I'm 6'2". Cons are, the huge super quiet cab, large comfy seats, dual A/C controls, fold up rear seats, locking compartments, step bumper side steps, spray in liner, spring assist tail gate, rear view camera, My Link Android phone hook up for google maps, text to voice texts while driving. The list is long. Power and more power, shift on the fly 4WD.

Stud of a truck

This is a once in 100 year truck (Centennial Edition). Has all the bells and whistles you could possibly want and then some. The Blue metallic paint is awesome beyond compare. 22" special edition wheels and the list goes on and on but the one item that puts it over the top is the 6.2L direct injection engine. Yabba Dabba Doo!
