I bought this truck new in July 2013.It is just a basic work truck with the 4.8 engine.I have never had a problem with the truck.The styling is very appealing and it drives great.The quality of build is good.No rattles or squeaks.The handling is very good and it has good performance.The gas mileage could be better only 16 in town and it has a 35 gal fuel tank.I would definitely buy another Silverado probably an Ls or Lt with 4wd.within a year or two.If it had a cd player and power locks and windows the truck would be perfect!

Its red. Some rust around the rear wheels. Tire pressure censors are out but tires are goid. Everything else is mechanically sound. The guy at the Wendys drive thru was asking about it and wondered how much its worth. I said, I have no idea. So i decided to get an idea.
I went on-line to get a fair market value for my Dad's truck and hoped to see the answer on the screen after answering a few brief questions, only to discover that I would have to go to my e-mail for a response. You did not meet my expectations.

Long lasting
VVT Transmission
My Silverado is a 2011 LT with 158k miles. I bought is in 2014 at 82K miles, being the 2nd owner. Besides a new rack and pinion and normal maintenance the truck has preformed very welll over the years. The only cons I have is the VVT and transmission. Over the last 11 years the fuel range has dropped to about 10 to 12 mpg and getting on the gas the transmission has a really hard shift through 2nd 3rd gears. Soon those problems will be addressed. Over all the cons does not deminish the love and value i have for this truck.
pulling power, tough.
the only con that mine had was it was 2wd
It was the best truck iv ever owned so far. even thought it was a 2wd it was a pulling s.o.b. I pulled a single wide trailer 3 feet off its blocks, and i towed a 5500lb mini excavator and a 20 ft equipment trailer and it was like it wasn't even back there. It got totaled out by a Kid when he rear ended me at 50mph plus.

HIGH REPAIR COSTS
Happy New Year to me. My Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid service Hybrid Light came on. My local dealership tells me it's only $8,000.00 to replace it. Kelly Blue Book value on the vehicle now without the repair is $11,000.00. BTW-My internet research says I can get a replacement battery for around $3,000.00. No idea what the installation would be. Bottom line folks, If you get a Hybrid or Electric vehicle, be ready for sticker shock if the battery ever fails. I'll be sticking with Gas Power for a while, the price of fill-ups is way less than $8K. Anybody want a Chevy Silverado? Has a little post-it note sticker covering an annoying message light on the panel. LOL
I currently have 192,000 miles on my 2013 Chevy Silverado crew cab. I bought it with a round 100,000 miles and haven’t had to do anything major to it at all. I continue to do maintenance upkeep and it keeps on going and going it tows well and even towed more than what it is rated at and I was very pleased with the towing package. I average around 18 miles a gallon, which is quite pleasing for a truck this size although I’ve heard horror stories about the 2014 and newer. I’m very glad I got the 2013 which doesn’t have any major issues.
