Nicest truck I’ve ever owned

This truck has more usb and power points than u can use . It does not ride like a truck even being a 4-wheel drive. The radio is smarter than me but give me time. In my opinion you can’t go wrong with this truck

The best truck I have ever owned

It has everything you can expect in a truck, seats 6 with plenty of leg room. A tool box under the rear seat. And lots of cargo area.

It’s the only pickup I’ve owned

It has plenty of leg room and comfortable. It doesn’t get very good gas mileage and I’ve only got 14,000 miles on it and the tires are wearing out.

Great so far

This truck is living up to its reputation. We’ve had Chevy’s before and never had any problems- don’t expect that to change. Vety dependable vehicles!!

Best ride for the buck

Had a 2014 Silverado and loved it - just wanted to get the 6 passenger option in a LTZ with a Z71 package with larger wheels. The 2018 has this and much more (e.g. trailer brake gain, sunroof, rear camera, front and rear proximity alert, heated steering wheel, sliding rear window, auto dimming mirrors, etc.)

What a truck!!

Loaded!! And tough. I love my truck! On star, SiriusXM, heated seats, USB and VAC plug ins, 4 WD (which is a must in Minnesota). I’ll never purchase another vehicle except a Silverado.

Always been a Chevy fan.

As always, vehicle was great to drive. Looks like a cats’s butt sewed up with a grape vine! How can the car company I have always loved screw the apperance up so very badly? I am done with my beloved bow tie since my first 62 Chevy. Very sad indeed! They have even managed to mess up the Camaro in its appearance after an excellent 2010 reintroduction. The grille now has to be shipped in by rail due to size and the competition with Lexus and Toyota. The 2019 HD truck will make most Chevy fans throw up a bit in their mouth at first glance. Every new vehicle I have ever purchased has been a Chevy or Pontiac. I am planing to just fix what I have until I pass. I would rather walk than drive most boring, identical, ridiculous vehicles offered today. Impala was the last decent car offered by GM. Sad!

Another quality product from Chevy

This is my 8th GM vehicle and 2nd Silverado. I've owned a few F150s and they don't compare in retained value, ease of maintenance, or reliability. I have every intention of buying another Silverado in a few years. My only real complaint is having to run the navigation thru your phone or thru ON Star as opposed to other manufacturers.

Unimpressive

Underpowered with the good V8 only available only on bigger models, and as an added cost. The 6 speed trans is cludgy at times and tends to stay in too high a gear, making the truck feel even more underpowered. Limited and poor choices for gearing in the axles. Poor ground clearance in the front end. Steering wheel controls are also poor, unless you pay extra. After less than 3 months, the truck has been in the shop twice for a noise in the front end. The drivers seat also makes a popping sound when pushing in the parking brake to disengage it. No easy access to behind the seat storage in the regular cab. Pretty disappointed in this vehicle.
