2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Review: A Dependable Half-Ton Truck With An Average Price Tag

Alex Showalter

Feb 9, 2022

A good year for the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, with fewer owner complaints and no major mechanical problems helps the truck last up to 250,000 miles. Prices on the used market are average for the class at $17,640 to $25,906.

The Good

Interior materials are very luxurious, the larger V8 engines offer great power, and the suspension is very smooth.

The Bad

The steering radius is long and hard to maneuver, technology is outdated, and the V8 engines consume a lot of oil.

2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: Quick Overview

The 2010 Chevy Silverado’s reliability is very good, with no serious problems developing over the years. The 2010 through 2013 model years are all good choices, and buyers should avoid the problem-ridden 2007 model.
Four engine choices are available. Including a weak but efficient V6 and three V8s with much better power and a maximum 10,700 pound towing capacity.
Fuel economy is excellent, tying for 1^st place out of 7 full size trucks tested in 2010 with a combined rating of up to 18 miles per gallon.
Safety ratings are great for a truck, getting a perfect 5-star rating in government crash tests.
Consumer Reports says the 2010 Silverado is an easy truck to live with, but owner satisfaction scores are lower than competitors.
The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 series ranks 12^th out of 15 full size trucks based on owner reviews. Although the truck ranks low, a combination of good power and a high quality cabin help the Silverado 1500 earn our recommendation, even considering the low marks owners give it.

Heather W

Very reliable, stylish pickup truck that has come in handy a lot over the past 8 years that we've had it.

Has been a very reliable vehicle. Have only had minor issues with it. I am still very happy with the purchase.

Harrison S

The lifters in the engine went out at 100,000 miles and had to replace the engine.

2010 Chevrolet Silverado, it is 4 wheel drive and has handled the rough terrain I put it through very well. Has never given me any real problems and I will purchase another one.

Joni F

It is safe and comfortable, even though it is older.

Super comfortable, feel safe driving it. I does take a lot of gas though. The oil changes are too expensive. The tires are a little pricey. Wish it had a better stereo.

Hannah L

Very reliable minimum maintenance truck.

Most reliable vehicle I have owned there has been minimum maintenance I have had to do. Big enough for family vehicle. The only downside is rear wheel wells have begun rusting and it is not very old. I will continue to buy Silverado if I do decide to upgrade eventually.

Holly B

Great vehicle overall minimal problems.

I have had no problems with this vehicle. I would mainly drive it to school and back so very rarely do you drive it long distances. It is has 4-wheel drive so it is nice to have it to drive through fields during most any season. Did have a small problem with something in the transmission right outside of warranty but nothing too major.

Grant S

Its a truck. And it is silver.

It's a workhorse but my only complaint is quarter panel rust around the fender well. Other than that it's 140k miles strong.

Ezequiel J

Chevrolet Silverado 2010 review.

This truck is really great. No big problems have arisen since purchasing this truck. The interior is great and comfortable with lots of space. Chevrolet trucks are reliable as they say. As a v8 truck it provides just enough power. The features in this truck are great.

Valerie N

It's perfect for a family because it seats like a car yet, has a truck bed!

Love it! Its crew cab so I have the extra benefit where it sits like a car and i still have a truck bed. Its Navy my fav color and has been basically maintenance free!

Negative Owner Reviews

Unhappy owner

Not a recommended buy

No this truck is a real RUST bucket the shocks rusted through into the oil chamber, rear fender rusted ,under side of bed support rusted away, and frame is heavy rusted!

Ashley D

Past its prime, costing dimes

We have had many problems with this truck and nothing really works on it anymore. It has some fancy extras but they all stopped working years ago. Now it dies in traffic and the rear end sounds like it's falling out if you back up. Mass air flow sensor and fuel problems

Cheryl G

2010 Chevy Silverado lemon.

My 2010 Chevy Silverado is a lemon. For the past 5 years I have been having battery/charge issues. If I do not disconnect the battery when I park the truck the battery drains completely within 20-30 minutes. When this happens I need to get someone to jump the truck. There's also a stabilizer problem that causes the truck to drop in acceleration and I lose power and speed. When this happens I have to disconnect the battery, wait 2-5 minutes and reconnect it so that the computer resets and I can drive again.

Stephanie O

Lofted and well maintained.

Comfortable, level kit, automatic alarm, tinted windows, 2 wheel drive, ac, radio, AUX input, all terrain tires.

Rachel S

Chevrolet 2010 with power locks, nice seats, and reliability.

The coolant gauge is not working, which makes the fan come on. When the fan comes in the truck drinks more gas. I have asked about getting it replaced and the mechanic told me that the year model I bought tented to have that problem. There are cracks all in my dash, which is something common for Chevys of that model. It is somewhat reliable I have had it for 5 years and it has not gone out on me. The truck is comfortable. Features are automatic locks, durable floors (not carpeted), comfortable seats, and that is about it because I do not have a v8 or power windows.

Chancellor B

That it is a fun toy/daily driving truck.

My vehicle is a your ordinary black 2010 Chevy Silverado. But it comes with a six inch lift kit so you get that high riding feature, than the loud exhaust pipes so you look cool, the interior is cloth and is comfortable and the features include all powered seats and windows.

Nathan W

2007-2014 Chevys are terrible vehicles. Change my mind.

It's been nothing but problems. Horrible alignment, bad oil sending unit, no oil pressure. The fuse box is rotting out. There is a CD stuck in it that it won't eject because it can't detect a CD. The locks rattle when music is one. The front passenger window can't be controlled with the driver side window controls.

Jason A

Heated seats it is a powerful truck love my four wheel drive.

It has been a very reliable truck. It tows very well. I will buy another truck when this one dies but until then I will drive it. I like the color. I like the power it has. I like the heated seats. Chevy makes great trucks, my wife also likes my truck.

What Problems Does the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Have?

There are fewer complaints on the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 series compared to other full size trucks from 2010, including the F-150 and Ram 1500. The 2010 model is a good choice, with some mechanical improvements over the older 2009 Silverado.

Excessive oil consumption is the number one complaint from owners at around 85,000 miles. Larger V8 engines consume more oil than smaller motors, so in many engines the oil consumption is normal. If your truck consumes more than a quart per month then you may need new pistons and rings costing over $3,000.

Cracked dashboards are very common across the Silverado lineup at around 50,000 miles. As the components heat and cool cracks develop. One solution is to replace the dash with a new one costing about $1,000, or you can install a dash cover for about $100.

Transmission problems, including the vehicle not going into gear, are rare but happen to some trucks around 90,000 miles. Often when the transmission will not go into drive, there’s damage inside the assembly. Usually, the transmission can be rebuilt, costing around $2,000.

The Silverado only has 4 recalls which is fewer than other trucks from 2010. Recalls include seat covers, and air bag inflators. Replacing the air bag inflators for free solves the problem.

How Much is the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Worth?

Blue book values range from $17,640 to $25,906, which is average for the class and similar in price to the Titan, and Sierra 1500. When new, the price range was $20,850 to $41,775. Depreciation is average for a full size truck, only losing about 5% of its current value per year in current market conditions.

How Long Will the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Last?

A well maintained 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 series will last over 250,000 miles, and is average for a large truck. Repair Pal estimates regular annual maintenance costs to be $657 per year, which is about $100 cheaper than the F-150.

As the Silverado 1500 Series ages and reaches over 120,000 miles, there are some components owners may need to replace. They include purge valves for $215, exhaust manifolds which cost around $800, and transmission oil pan gaskets costing $300.

Joseph S

None, it has been a good truck, but I have taken care of it with regular maintenance. If you do that like you are suppose to do, should last a long time.

Marcie M

Yes it is very reliable, have had no problems with the vehicle as long as you maintain and do keep up with maintenance.

Penny S

The truck is very reliable, in bad weather, good weather..The secret is to keep it in good shape and not beat it or not care for it.

Candida M

No we haven't had any issues at all with our truck we'r e quite happy with it. All our children own Chevys too.

Jacob M

Yes very reliable vehicle 4 doors a lot of space and no problems at the moment everything works does make some noise when the fan is on . Control arms and ball joints should be replaced at 100,000 with these trucks.

Jenny N

It hasn't let me down yet. Everything on it still works and the interior is durable. The headlights are hazy but that can be buffed out.

Cheryl M

Very reliable with no problems. Everything is still original except the battery. I only run SUNOCO 87 OCTANE THRU THE ENGINE.

Melissa F

No probs able to get from here to there without having a problem I have good tires so road trips r fun

What Technology & Safety Features Are Included?

Technology in the Chevy Silverado 1500 series is similar to other full size trucks from 2010.

Standard technology includes a 4-speaker stereo system with AM/FM/CD playback, and a 3.5mm AUX input.
Optional upgrades include a 7-inch touchscreen navigation system, premium 6 or 8-speaker stereo systems, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, and a 6-CD changer.
Standard safety features include stability control, air bags, and antilock brakes. Four wheel disc brakes come with the max trailering package.

What Engine Options are Available?

Performance is good in the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 series, with the 6.2L V8 taking the truck from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 6.6 seconds. When properly equipped the Silverado can also tow up to 10,700 pounds, falling in the middle of the lineup for half-ton trucks.

The base engine is a very weak V6 with only 195 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque.
An optional upgrade with average power for the class is the 4.8L V8 with 295 horsepower and 305 lb.-ft. of torque.
One of the most common engines is the 5.3L V8, which has 315 horsepower and 338 lb.-ft. of torque.
The most powerful engine is the 6.2L V8 with 403 horsepower and 417 lb.-ft. of torque.

What Color Options are Available?

How Big is the Silverado 1500?

Similar in size to many competitors including the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 series, the 2010 Chevy Silverado is a large truck that may have trouble fitting into some residential garages.

Three cabin configurations are available including a 2-door standard cab, 4-door extended cab, and larger 4-door crew cab. Passenger space is excellent in the back seats of the crew cab, but cramped in the extended cab.

There are also three bed lengths available including a 5-foot-8-inch short bed, 6-foot-6-inch standard bed, and 8-foot long bed.

How Does the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Compare to Other Trucks?

Ranking 12^th out of 15 full size trucks, based on owner reviews, the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 series is near the bottom of the class.

The highest rated half-ton truck of 2010 is the more expensive Toyota Tundra. The Tundra stands out with class-leading reliability lasting over 300,000 miles, but the Silverado has a more luxurious interior. Ultimately, both are good trucks and the decision comes down to personal preference.

A close competitor is the more affordable Ram 1500. The technology and interior materials are both better in the Ram, but the Silverado has a higher towing capacity. This is a good year for both trucks, and the choice is which one you like best after testing them out.

2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ltz 6.2l.

There's only a couple of things I do not love about my 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ltz 6.2l. The crankshaft rear oil seal started leaking around 100,000 miles. The 'torque management control' [throttle delay] is horrible and is the main complaint.

Chris H on June 16, 2021

Very reliable truck, not a family vehicle.

Great vehicle very reliable, only had a few issues with the breaks. I have put over 70,000 miles on it since I got it. The only problem I see is if you have kids the back seat is very tight and the only really room in the back is in the middle. Over all I would tell people to buy this truck.

Ezequiel J on May 30, 2021

Chevrolet Silverado 2010 review.

Jordan H on May 9, 2021

They hold their value so well for a reason

Very reliable truck. 145,000 miles currently and no problems except for routine maintenance. Very comfortable ride, very good looking truck too. The 5.3 is all it's cracked up to be. Favorite vehicle I've ever owned 10/10. There is nothing I don't like about this truck, going to keep it for as long as possible.

Cody M on May 6, 2021

The 4x4 drive, it can sit five people.

It a good vehicle. Just need watch the tires sensors. And keep a eye on the lights wires it burns out. Sometime the inside lights still out. The 4x4 wheel work very good. Try not get a bed liner. Water get under it. Be it a very good vehicle. I like it.

Amy C on April 30, 2021

188 thousand and good as new.

188 thousand miles and I've only had to do regular maintenance. Great truck! There was a problem with the threads in a spark plug hole which was replaced and fine afterwards. Headlights are still bright as the day I bought it. Interior is tough no worn seats or tears. Paint has held up there is one spot clear is barley peeling but I dented the bed causing it. Windshield makes a noise when speed reaches 65 and continues until under 65. It's done that since day one. The audio jack really has not ever worked but I never needed it I had to have it aligned one time and that was because I hit a couple really bad spots on the mountain in Kentucky and messed bbn it up.

Faythe S on April 19, 2021

Easy and fun to use. Definitely recommend for both single use and family.

This truck is fantastic. Easy to use and great for road trips. There is lots of room in the back seat for guests. They will not feel cramped. The seats easily move to provide the best leg room. The bed can hold lots of weight and sliding things on it does not mess up the bottom of the bed. This truck can also tow trailers with ease.

Jackie S on April 19, 2021

Great quality Chevrolet truck.

No problems with my Chevy Silverado truck, has been a great vehicle. We always take it on vacation with us because of the extra room. The extended cab is roomy, plenty of legroom and headroom. We did get a bed cover and that is great to throw luggage back there and not take up space in the cab.

Sam M on April 16, 2021

A great buy for someone who needs a reliable model.

Perfect for work, both efficient and spacious. It has enough room in the trunk for travel and it has space in the interior as well. They are very comfortable and I have had it for many years now. My truck is very reliable and it has taken me anywhere I needed to get to without any problems. Although it does help to keep it in check and make sure everything is good every once in a while.

Ian G on April 2, 2021

10 year owner of a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 z71.

This has been a fantastic vehicle. I purchased it brand new. I have 200k miles on it and have had to spend less than $500 total on repairs on it over the lifetime of the truck. Performance and fuel mileage are both decent. Fit and finish on it is nice and the seats are very comfortable. The only two gripes I would have with it is that my dash cracked in a couple places last year. Granted that it has spent most of its life ungaraged so it has been in the sun a lot and I think that is what took the toll on the dash. The other thing is the heavy use buttons like the climate control and some radio buttons have lost their finish over the past couple of years. Overall a great truck.

Kathy H on April 1, 2021

It is reliable and dependable.

I love most everything about my truck except it could use the following: additional step up into the bed. Tailgate swing horizontal too. Sun glass and storage areas.

Wyatt T on March 31, 2021

My Silverado is a very dependable truck.

My truck is awesome on gas for a big truck. It rides like a dream and is so comfortable. It runs quite as a mouse. The only problem I've had was the fuel pump went out. The pump cost $525 plus install. I replaced the tires and had the oil changed at Walmart this summer.

Leslie L on March 31, 2021

Very reliable and safe truck!

I really love my Chevy Silverado. It is very comfortable. I drive long distance at times and I feel safe. The gas is a bit expensive but I understand that it has a v8 engine. I have a bit of a problem with the tire alignment due to wear and tear. Other than that, love the design, the color, the sound when listening to music and how the volume goes up and down based on the speed and wind noise etc.

Joni F on March 30, 2021

It is safe and comfortable, even though it is older.

Super comfortable, feel safe driving it. I does take a lot of gas though. The oil changes are too expensive. The tires are a little pricey. Wish it had a better stereo.

Amanda P on March 30, 2021

The super duper Silverado.

The Silverado is an excellent truck! It has a lot of power and is able to haul nearly everything. It is a beast! It is also very reliable and has not left us high and dry... Except when we ran it out of gas. That is the one thing that I would complain about.

Rose S on March 27, 2021

Safe and roomy for whole family.

It is a very good truck with very little maintenance needed on it. I can haul groceries and other things I need. It is a very safe vehicle for my family and roomy also for car seats and other passengers with cup holders. I love the way engine sounds and it is very good on gas mileage.

Clint B on March 27, 2021

Great and very trustworthy vehicle.

Nice little truck. Hasn't gave me any issues. Just some new tires and oil change and this little puppy scoots on down the road like a dream. I am in the market for a new one and I will be looking to get the same model.

Julie H on March 25, 2021

2010 Chevy Silverado ltz 1500 extended cab. Great truck for anything!

I love that it has a remote start, especially on cold mornings. It has heated seats, dual settings for the heat and ac. It has power mirrors that fold in which is very nice in tight spots. It has an instrument panel that tells me everything under the sun, including the temperature and the direction in which I am traveling. The dashboard is well lighted in the dark. Everything is within reach. Power seats. I love the extended cab with the doors that open to the back that are not full size doors, it makes grocery shopping or shopping of any kind very nice. It beeps at me when I am backing up to let me know if I get too close to something. It has OnStar and Sirius radio. It is wider that I normally like but it is what I needed for the country life. I haul water and firewood. I tow my boat and trailer. Overall, I love my truck.

William B on March 24, 2021

My truck has a convertible bed cover and makes it super easy load into the bed.

My truck is lift and bigger tires on it. I am a big person so I need a big car. I am in love with the navy blue color with black accessories. I added a aftermarket stereo because all of my other car have had one and I just felt like I needed it. I have never had any problems with my truck but I do regularly maintenance on it. The truck comfortably fits five people. I am 6 foot eight and someone can actually sit behind me and have plenty of room so that they do not feel squished. I have a vortec motor in it and the performance is amazing. Super reliable and does everything I needed to do even as a daily driver and off road. Over all I really love this truck and would recommend it to other people.

Morgan B on March 22, 2021

Back up cameras and Cindy seats.

The size is perfect! It always gets me to where I need to go. It is got plenty of room. Very good at pulling heavy things. The back up camera is really nice especially at night when it is to dark to see our your back window, the camera is all lit up. The only bad part about it is the issue with the gas line.

Matt H on March 16, 2021

Chevy Silverado, a big truck for everyday use.

Transmission is clunky, plastics are cheap. Fuel economy is good, exhaust sound is great, I enjoy the extended cab doors and the added room the seats provide. Seats are comfortable and the headlights are great. Truck is tough, tailgate works wonderfully. It has all four tires and all 24 lug nuts. It also has a spare tire.

jeff K on March 16, 2021

I keep it very clean and take pride in Its appearance

Like the bed space V6 has a peppy engine dislike that It's white no auto locks

Michael B on March 9, 2021

Amazing 2010 Chevy Silverado.

I really do love my truck. I have had zero mechanical issues since buying it new in 2010. The mileage is currently at 87500, and other than routine maintenance we have encountered zero problems. The ride is smooth and the features are just right. Gas mileage is solid coming in around 15 in city and upwards of 20 on the highway. I would definitely buy again and in fact have owned 3 silverados and could see myself buying another one in the next 2-3 years.

Ro N on March 4, 2021

Awesomeness of the Silverado.

I absolutely love my Silverado!! The only problem with it that I have had since buying it is the rust bubbles that are on the sides. I have been told that there is not much they can do about it except replace the entire bed of the truck, which will be pricey. Other than that, it is such a smooth ride but is not a fun killer like the newer trucks that are no longer rugged. I love the way my truck handles and it is really great on gas, much to my surprise. We actually get better gas mileage in our truck than we do our traverse!

Bobby D on March 1, 2021

It's been a great truck for the 8 years I have had it.

Love my truck. Wish it had a backup camera. Also the cruise control is going out. I wish it was blue

Hayden H on February 26, 2021

It is a gas guzzler. It does not have a lot of power either.

I like that it is reliable. It is also very rugged and durable, but I do not like the fact that it has a lot of miles on it.

Robert R on February 24, 2021

2010 Silverado quality and functionality.

Very reliable truck, have not had any issues or problems since I have owned it. Interior design on this body style feels relatively cheap, however. Lots of little annoying creaks in the dash and center console. Drivability is great, function is great.

Kyle O on February 15, 2021

Very roomy for such a smaller style of truck.

No problems and I love it has some wear and tear but overall it runs fine and has lasted me 10 years. Chevrolet is a great brand and I'd recommend it to anyone. My whole family drives Chevrolet and they are happy with them as well. Do yourself a favor and sell whatever piece of junk you have and buy a Chevy.

Shane M on February 8, 2021

Dependable, routine maintenance is all they need to keep you rolling.

Dependable but old, has really good power but is definitely on the older side but it is what I can afford right now, getting awful tight with 3 kids really need a crew cab.

Lindsay D on February 8, 2021

Pretty good, not good for a large family.

Wish it were slightly bigger, it's a crew cab. Also wish it had DVD player. It also has had a few issues more than our other vehicles. It had a knocking sound when turning, turns out to be the suspension. It gets fairly decent gas mileage for a truck.

Alex B on February 6, 2021

It won't break down on you and will be able to handle a large workload

It is a good reliable truck that I use for work everyday. I have very few issues with it even when pulling a trailer and equipment

Ryan M on February 1, 2021

My opinion on my Silverado pick up 2010.

Nothing besides rust starts early round the tires after 100,000 miles. Gas mileage could be better. Way to shift from four wheel drive to two wheel drive should be easier all around nice vehicle to own. I highly recommend it to all my family and friends.

Mike B on January 30, 2021

Economical. 20 mpg. Well equipped with nice features.

None. I love my truck reliably and convenient. It has a great tide

Ben B on January 27, 2021

2010 Chevy Silverado review.

The only maintenance that I have done have been oil changes and needed to replace the leaf springs because they were cracked. Other than that the reliability has been great, no engine or transmission issues. Great truck that can haul and tow. The body is starting to rust a little. Will need some body work soon.

Michael H on January 27, 2021

I really love this dang truck.

Great truck, running strong at 320,000 miles with good care and maintenance. The tow package is incredible and it hauls like a dream. The interior is spacious and comfortable, with a crisp but powerful sound system. 8 ft bed is great for hauling sheets of plywood and lumber for building.

Wayne O on January 25, 2021

Dependable, great looking, good performance, good gas mileage

This has been a great truck. Good gas mileage, tows our camper, seats six, no mechanical problems in 160,000 miles.

Rose A on January 11, 2021

It's great for home and work and hauling/towing but will cost you a lot on gas.

I like having the ability to transport and haul large items. I also like the 4-wheel drive. I don't like the high fuel costs and difficulty parking such a large vehicle.

Peter G on December 31, 2020

It is awesome! Better than I expected!

My vehicle is reliable, yet affordable. Comfortable and easy ride. It does have its pitfalls however. The vehicle in question gets horrible gas mileage and has to be tweaked occasionally, due to issues with motor and brake pads. All and all a lovely vehicle and would 10/10 recommend.

Dean Hoelter on December 30, 2020

Reliability and looks

I still, after 10 years, enjoy driving my 2010 Chevy silerado

Tracy D on December 29, 2020

Best vehicle I have ever owned, not any major issues. Very dependable.

My Chevy Silverado has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. Besides regular maintenance and some minor normal issues my truck hasn't broke down. It's definitely not a money pit like a lot of truck. It does ok on gas mileage and ride very quite not much road noise. About the only thing that could be better is the air conditioning is not super cold like a lot of vehicles. The truck has 98, 0000 miles and has only had one brake change and one new set of tires. Everyone loves the look of the truck and cant believe its 8 years old. I would definitely recommend the Silverado to anyone. It tow stuff around without any engine drag and comes with tow package. To sum it up my Silverado is the best vehicle I have ever owned.

Overall it is a great truck with safety features to keep me from driving to fast

I have had no issues with my truck, I love taking drives its so comfortable and relaxing. I wouldn't trade my truck for the world. It also has a safety feature on it that keeps me from going over 100 mph, which is great for me because I tend to speed. It drives so smooth on the highway.

No leg room in the back seat.

I have not had any problems out of my 2010 Chevy Silverado. I do have one complaint about it. The back seat does not have enough leg room. I owned a ford f150 previously and it had all sorts of leg room Chevy needs to address this. Other than that, I like my Chevy Silverado.

It's great for moving and hauling not to bad on the gas either I mean it's not the best but for a truck I believe it gets pretty good mileage.

I really have no complaints about my truck to be honest it's my first truck and I would never buy a car again after buying a truck. I had it like almost 5 years now and I'm just now having to do any real maintenance to the vehicle. I'm definitely going to but a new truck when I pay this one off more luxury tho this one I'm keeping for work

The quality is exemplary. It has lasted for 8 years and has lots more to go.

My vehicle has been very reliable. With the proper maintenance I have been able to hang on to it for 8 years and it still looks and runs great!

I love my Chevy Silverado truck. I recommend everyone at least test drive it.

No problems love it. Just minor repairs. The usual tires oil change breaks. Rides beautiful starts every morning.Definitely will buy another. I have had this truck a long time a little rust but runs like its brand new. Enough room to go on long trips very comfortable.

Not a recommended buy

No this truck is a real RUST bucket the shocks rusted through into the oil chamber, rear fender rusted ,under side of bed support rusted away, and frame is heavy rusted!

Clean work truck with a lot of miles but still runs like it's brand new!

I drive a blue 2010 Chevy Silverado which I love! It's still in great condition and I use it for everything such as driving to work, school, hauling trailers, and use it for vacations! I have a bed cover on it which makes the truck 10 times more awesome when it comes to road trips because everything is locked up and protected at all times! The truck itself runs great and has 170,000 miles with no problems! I just put new tires on it two years ago and it is very quiet when it comes to road noise.

Reliable and durable - it does what you ask it to do

Work vehicle - I like it well enough, it gets the job done. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles i would choose for it.

My truck is just the right size to use day to day and to haul items when necessary.

I like the size of my truck because it suits my day to day needs and when I need to haul things. It is rough at times driving across bumps in the road. It isn't very heavy for ice/snow driving. I plan to keep it even when I purchase a new vehicle.

Almost at 200,000 miles and still in excellent running condition.

Extremely dependable with no problems. Did have some front end trouble at a little over 100,000 miles but pretty easily fixed. No engine or transmission problems. I have almost 200,000 miles on the vehicle and I am comfortable taking it on a long road trip right now.
