Got a 2002 4x4 Z71 with 27,000 miles on it 20 years ago. Now has 178,000. Finally did front brakes at about 160,000. In that time i’ve needed a new driver widow motor, A/C compressor, and parking brake cable. Interior looks like new. Oh, the radio buttons snapped off too. Other than fluids and filter- thats it. Its been a great truck. Awesome in snow with studded tires.

Bought my `02 chev 1500 in 2017, two days after purchase we took a trip to Alaska and back, the truck performed flawless, only problem was a bad battery, which was still factory!. A year later a cross country, no problems with the truck, comfortable, and plenty of power from the 5.3 vortec motor, averaged 17mpg for the trip. The clear coat has peeled off top and hood, normal for this year. Replaced brakes once and of course regular oil changes. Still operating with OEM starter and alternator. 210k miles, no motor work or transmission issues, the 4 speed is bullet proof!

Owned a couple of these trucks. Over a hundred thousand miles on both no troubles at all. 152000 on the one I have now. Would love to find another.
