I have a 2020 1500 RST with the 5.

I have a 2020 1500 RST with the 5.3 engine and 8 speed transmission. My truck now has 67,000 miles. The acceleration is outstanding and smooth from gears 3-8. Probably could use more torque for gears 1-2, but not weak by any means. I have had no mechanical problems outside of the clunking rear suspension which was fixed by retorqueing the rear leaf spring suspension bolts. Other than that minor issue, it has been very reliable. I have heard these transmissions have had issues, but nothing that has caused issues for me. It has the 60-70 MPH shutter that is common to these transmissions, but I have learned how to drive to avoid the shutter, as I did with my 2011 1500. Overall pretty satisfied at this point. Comfort and amenities could be better for the front seats for the price, but I bought it knowing that. FYI my front brakes at this point are still 50%, and I have invested very little outside of a few fluid exchanges and routine maintenance. Excellent fuel mileage: 20 mpg with 50% highway vs city driving.

Purchased new a 2020 Chevrolet custom Trail Boss in Satin

Purchased new a 2020 Chevrolet custom Trail Boss in Satin Steel metallic, it has been great. I just turned 80,000 miles with no issues, it’s been a pleasure to drive, just replaced brakes and tires for the first time at 75,000 miles . I have also purchased new a 86 F-250 and a 01 GMC 1500 which also were great trucks and sold with 190,000 miles on them. Maintenance is key Chevrolet did a great job on the exterior of this truck, love the look and color. Nothing bad to say only a positive experience.

So far so good. Its not a Dodge or Ford

Best truck I've ever owned. Great power...good fule economy on highways. comfortable and roomy great bose sound system No over dramatic fanciness but practicality. I like the design and added features such as a sliding rear window power outlets inside and in the bed. 20k miles on her so...maybe too soon to tell?

Awesome Truck except for transmission troubles. Very good gas mileage and comfort and ride are the best. A very dependable truck with lots of great features. Back up camera is great.

Good basic pickup

Have had this since new in 2020. No major issues. Transmission is rough when cold, but not an issue. Three years in and no major work. One brake adjustment and oil changes. Other than that it’s been a great truck.

Dealer repaired in one day. Been good ever since.

had the truck for 30 k miles. Only one issue of a hydralic lifter failure @ 7k miles. They say its common with the multi displacement V8s. i would have rated it better if the engine problem did not happen. When you pay 50k Plus for a truck, you don't expect early failure of engine components.

Over all nice truck, auto stop and electric parkin

Electric parking brake sticks after vehicle sits. Seems like the right rear, when trucks sit 4 to 8hrs. Sometimes backing up releases or slowly moving forward. Transmission slips in low gear when engine is cold, or as it sits. Sometimes I think if the auto shut off is off it doesn't slip. Some times when truck down shift coasting to a stop. Auto shut of is to sensitive and jerk starts sometimes. AC fan does not seem to blow much until turn over halfway on.

My Last Truck...maybe

Transmission has problems. Started at 18K miles and getting worse. Probably be another fiasco. Standard transmissions should be "standard". GM is losing my favor....quickly! The End

Best truck owned.

I use my truck to pull a 9000 lb+ 34 ft travel trailer. I have the 3.0 diesel LT 4x4. I get 10 - 12 mpg towing. Once I get to the campsite it's like having an economy car that gets 25 - 30 mpg not towing. I don't ever plan on selling the truck, it is a keeper.
