I love my Chevrolet truck! You will too.
I really like it. I is a beautiful pearl color, it is lifted with running boards. The back seat has enough leg room for my husband to sit in the back and he is 6ft. 5. Love the backup camera. It also has Bluetooth to connect your smartphone. There is also a lock box in the middle of the front seat. It rides really smooth and it comfortable. We have taken it on a few long distance trips and it is really roomy and comfortable.

Chevy Silverado is class and comfort.
Truck is extremely dependable. Looks great on both the outside and inside. Used as a work truck but also a comfortable nice ride. I would highly recommend. I plan on driving it until the wheels fall off. No issues with anything mechanical and Chevy let’s you know when you are do for service.

It's tough hard and gets the job done
I have never had a problem with my vehicle at all. I enjoy every minute of dying my vehicle every day. I will encourage others to also purchase the same vehicle that I purchased. This is been the best five years of driving any vehicle I have ever known before. It has a durable and reliable vehicle and I wouldn't have it any other way. Chevrolet is the best brand that I have ever known and driven

A trader to the ford f series and on to the Chevy.
I use to be a ford owner and I switched to the Chevy Silverado 4x4. It is quiet, comfortable, heavy duty and easy to drive. I tow it behind my RV and it tows smoothly. I have not had any problems with it since I bought it in 2016. I love the navigation system and backup camera. I do not know how I ever drove without it.

Silverado 1500 with V6 engine can pull a lot!!
My vehicle is very reliable. I have a Silverado 1500 with only a V6 engine but it does what I need it to do. I can pull a camper that has a dry weight of 4900 with ease. It allows plenty of room for our two family collies to ride with ease! The 4-wheel drive is a blessing in snow too.

Truly like a rock...wish it would sink and go away
At 60,000 miles it dropped an injector. 75,000 is started having electrical issues taking my power steering, backing up and electronics out. Had that repaired. At 85,000 began having electrical issues again. 90,000 strange bumping noise nobody can figure out. I am sorely disappointed in what used to be my favorite brand.

In need of a new car, one day at a time.
It is a used work truck that we had to buy at the last minute because our mustangs wheel flew off and we needed a vehicle. It gets us where we need to go and all but it is old and run down. It needs so much work done to it, including exterior and interior.

Fuel sending unit issues.
Fuel sending unit shorts out. Research has shown that it is a common problem. Other than not knowing how much gas is in the vehicle, it functions well. Cargo capacity is higher than other trucks of same size. Fuel efficiency is good, cylinders shut down at constant speed to conserve fuel.

Lots of room and the radio and misc options on the steering wheel.
The vehicle was great initially, nice interior design with a fold up center console. The back features air vents and a center console as well. I like the back seats as they are comfortable and very roomy with storage space under the seats. Unfortunately there were many recalls including airbags and maintenance issues. The truck started having electrical issues after a year, affecting the seats, radio and electrical display. The longevity of this truck is awful and unexpectedly going backwards with issue after issue. Overall I think this vehicle is nice but not quality and requires lots of maintenance to maintain any quality work for this truck. If I could go back, I would not buy this vehicle.

Bad ac design... Air conditioning is bad in the 2014 Chevy Silverado.
Ac constantly breaks. Transmission issues at 100k miles. Sound system no good speakers blown. Otherwise no issues so far. Currently have 102k miles on the truck. Ac had been repaired every summer for the past 5 years. Bad design with the ac hoses keeps cracking in the same place.

Will spend a lot of money fixing things, even when you paid for extended warranty.
The truck had way too many recalls and I purchased extended warranty that didn't apply to all the things that broke. My a/c fan went out, my radiator went out, my a/c compressor went out, my steering box went out, my vacuum pump went out. Only the vacuum pump was covered under a recall but none of the others due to me 'being over the Mileage of the recalls'. Spent $7,000 in the past year at a Chevy dealership to fix everything that went wrong with it.

What Problems Does the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Have?

The 2014 Chevy Silverado is the first model year of the third generation, and has more complaints than other full size trucks. The 2015 model has less problems and the upgrade is worth the extra $500 to $2,000.

Air conditioning and heater problems are very common, and include a loss of all heating and cooling. Replacing the condenser solves the problem, but costs $900 to $1,100 depending on local labor rates.

Electrical problems, including shutting down while driving, are also mentioned. Some owners have found a loose ground causes the engine to stall, but there are many issues which can cause an engine to shut off. Replacing the ground costs $250 to $325.

Peeling paint is another complaint owners have. The paint peels when any of the coats fail, and the only way to solve the issue is to repaint the affected panels.

There are 20 recalls affecting the truck, worse than other vehicles from 2014. Recalls include airbags, head restraints, parking position indicator, exhaust components, transmission oil cooler line, tie rods, warning chimes, floor mats, transfer case, front seats, electric power steering, and braking software. All are serious and affect the safety and reliability of the truck.

How Big is the Silverado 1500?

The 2014 Silverado 1500 series is a full size truck, and may have trouble fitting into residential garages depending on the configuration. Three cabins are available including a 2-door regular cab, a 4-door extended cab, and a larger 4-door crew cab.

How Does the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Compare to Other Trucks?

The 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 series ties for 6th place out of 14 full size trucks, based on owner reviews.

The highest-rated half-ton truck is the Toyota Tundra, which is in the same price range. Technology, towing capacity, and interior materials are better in the Chevy. Where the Toyota stands out is with better reliability ratings, and a more comfortable cabin. Overall, if you need to tow, the Silverado is the winner, but the Toyota is more affordable to own long-term.

A close competitor is the more affordable Ram 1500 series. The towing capacity and horsepower are higher in the Silverado. Interior materials and technology are better in the Ram, with the excellent UConnect infotainment system. Reliability ratings are similar, ultimately, if you’re looking for a full size truck testing out both is worth the time to see which you prefer.

Love my Silverado 1500 Z71, BUT
Around 150k I had to put a transmission in. Know I’m chasing all sort of electrical issues many I have found to be sensors. There is one problem I’m have a hard time finding. I have a miss or hiccup on acceleration & periodically when get up to speed. I have replaced everything that could be the cause with no luck with correcting the problem. Other than that it is very reliable & I can take it just about anywhere. I haven’t been stuck yet, knock on wood. Gets extremely good fuel mileage. Very comfortable as I have the LTZ.

Drives like a car but hauls like a truck!
My Chevy truck has been very dependable with no serious problems so far. The only problem that I have encountered was a constant alert of low tire pressure in one of the tires. I kept getting it filled but the sensor would not go away. Come to find out it was a leaking valve stem and nothing else. My truck is so comfortable and roomy. It drives so smooth it is really like your driving a car. I like the front seat compartment that you can either fold up or leave down. Comfortable seats and nice to drive. The back seat has plenty of room also. The back seat folds completely up if you need to haul things that you do not want to get wet in the bed of the truck if it is raining. I have cloth seats( I don't really care for leather anyway) and they still look great after 5 years. The truck is easy to park. I have had several trucks in my life and this one has been the easiest to Park. Overall I really like my truck and if you get one I am sure you will too. Did I mention it also looks great!!

Great truck reliably pulls 8-9k gooseneck horse trailer 2-3 times a month. Gas mileage as expected 14-15 towing and 19-20 empty with lift and 35" tires.

XM radio the color brown is great.
The truck is very safe and comfortable to drive. The cab is a little short for my 6ft 3 inch size. It has a great XM radio that gives me plenty of choices. I am very comfortable with it Hwy & city driving mileage. I fell very safe driving my truck. Thank you.

Lots of room and the radio and misc options on the steering wheel.
The vehicle was great initially, nice interior design with a fold up center console. The back features air vents and a center console as well. I like the back seats as they are comfortable and very roomy with storage space under the seats. Unfortunately there were many recalls including airbags and maintenance issues. The truck started having electrical issues after a year, affecting the seats, radio and electrical display. The longevity of this truck is awful and unexpectedly going backwards with issue after issue. Overall I think this vehicle is nice but not quality and requires lots of maintenance to maintain any quality work for this truck. If I could go back, I would not buy this vehicle.

Chevy strong and American proud
Nothing wrong with it , it's been great, it runs awesome and drives so smooth makes you want to drive it everyday, plus it's strong and like a rock ! Take it off-roading and it will handle anything you throw at it with ease ! From work to trails to anything, it will keep on running like a dream !

Silverado work truck good deal.
I have had the truck for about two years and put near 50,000 miles on it. Had a few issues with control arms and ball bearings but great truck without those issues. Truck could be better on gas. I drive it with a pretty bulky ladder rack but it wasn't that great prior. Probably 16 before and around 14 mpg now. I also modified the exhaust because it is too quiet out of the factory.

I love the Bluetooth it has. Makes it easy to take calls.
Have had no problems in 6 years with this truck. I give it its proper maintenance such as oil changes,etc. It is easy to keep clean and speakers are very good. Has good gas mileage at about 18 mpg for such a big truck. It can use e85 gas which is very cheap.

Chevrolet Silverado review. Drivetrain performance and exterior body review.
Paint is chipping all the way around the truck, on the bumper, fender, doors. Air conditioning has gone out two times. Engine drives very good no issues with drive train at all. Overall it is a great truck that is very reliable. Chevrolet is a good vehicle choice for me, I've always had a Chevrolet truck.
