What Owners are Saying About the 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Extended Cab

"Awesome truck- just keeps going and going."

"Original owner. Chev 5.3 original engine is fantastic! 389K miles and still doesn't burn oil. Still gets 17-18 MPG unless towing. Of course, have always changed oil as recommended and always used Mobile One Synthetic since brand new. Body has held up awesome with no rust. Few minor maintenance issues but nothing major. Replaced starter and alternator once but same power steering pump and water pump!"

"Good reliable transportation/tow vehicle."

"16 year old friend. Hauls a horse trailer like it isn't there. Body has remained incredibly good especially since it sits out 24/7. Frame pretty much rust free. I maintain it well so have replaced mechanicals when needed. Very reliable."
