2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 consumer reviews

Purchased my 2002 extended cab 4 x 4 2500 HD new in 2002, it now has just over 200,000 miles and has the 8.1 L gas motor I’ve never even had to put brakes on it i.e. absolutely love this truck are use mobile one synthetic oil and it’s never giving me any trouble, if I had it to do over again the only thing I would do different is purchase a crew cab instead of the extended cab this is definitely the best I have ever owned and I have been the owner of many As I am 74 years young

This was my first new Truck and for a 2500 HD had a great ride yet empty and still could haul 4000 lbs in the bed or tow 12,000 lbs. The 6 passenger crew cab fit the whole family even with 2 car seats. 4wd on the fly is great in sand, snow and mud.

Traded it in on a newer one at 189,000 miles. Mostly just regular maintenance. Oil, tires. I never even tuned it or changed belts. Does like gas.

It?s not my first truck but is my first 2500hd diesel. It had 228k miles on it when I purchased it. Naturally, buying something used with higher mileage, there?s going to be things wrong that need fixed. 12k miles in owning it and all I have done so far is change the oil. I need ball joints and u joints changed soon. It smokes a little and has an oil leak that will get fixed too, but overall I?m super happy with it.

All I would ever buy great reliable truck wouldn't mind a newer one though really the best I've ever had and only truck I will purchase

This trucks 6.0L engine is very strong. Can?t beat GM seats for comfort. The interior is very clean. The ride is very smooth.

I just got the vehicle and it runs very smoothly it's very clean and strong has the 6.0 yes it's a gasser butt I would not want any other truck but this one... I've taken it off roading once and it did very well... I put a new muffler on it flowmaster super 44 and this beast roars like a truck should very deep and loud.. I still have room for more passengers with extended cab and the short bed for stuff

Great diesel truck that has lots of power and can tow almost anything. Heavy duty suspension is rough with driving dry, but helpful with heavy loads. Seems to be more reliable than Ford Diesels and easier to fix.

I have a regular cab with the 6.0 gas engine and a manual transfer case lever on the floor. Truck puts out good power and has a rugged, commanding stance that rivals the other trucks from that year range. I have 116K on it and have loved driving it. It makes the perfect vehicle to haul my tools, trailers, gravel, mulch, wood you name it! The only complaints I have with it are the interior. My particular model was a snow plow prep with all weather floors, bench seat with no arm rest and a very bland interior. However I feel like Chevy didn't put a lot of effort into updating the interiors of these trucks for a long time. Still can't say I am disappointed with my purchase!

Bought mine literally as it was coming off the hauler. Has the Duramax with Allison transmission and 4wd. Truck still runs great and continues to perform as I need. Tow a 5th wheel 38ft camper through the mountains and am surprised how well it works without an exhaust brake. The tow/haul works just fine only needing to use the brakes in very steep conditions. I hope to see 500,000 or even 750,000 miles with it. We shall see. Best investment I made.
