My living room on wheels: Chevy comfort.
I like my vehicle: it handles well in snow, is reliable and very comfortable to drive. It has great visibility and the crew cab assures plenty of room for grandchildren or pets in the back. The heat/ac works really quickly. There is ample storage room within the console which makes for a good place to store a purse.

A well made vehicle for the right person.
The tires are pretty bad after 2 years of driving. Gas mileage is about 20 miles per gallon. It drives nice and looks nice. I have the work model and the rubber floor mats are nice and it has the nice big touch screen. I would recommend this truck to someone who would utilize a truck bed or the towing possibility.

The power and look of the truck.
Never had a problem. Great truck! Drive it at least 30 miles a day! If considering buying a truck. Highly recommend getting a Chevy Silverado. There is no other truck I would even prefer. No dodge, no ford, nothing. Chevy is the best American brand in the world! There’s all kinds of proof to go along with it!

The only issues I have had with the truck was a bad filter in the engine which was as easy fix. My truck was upgraded with leather seats and a back up camera and I'd highly suggest both of those. I get abo 13 mpg in town and 20+ on the highway. I pull an 18 ft inboard boat and cannot even tell it is back there. Will definitely be sticking with Chevy when I am done with this truck.

The thing I love most is the upfit package on my truck. This package include step-side bars, better suspension, rims, tires, custom stitched seats, exhaust, trim, wheel flares, and decals.

Travels very smooth and comfortable.
I love how it handles and drives the extras that it has including the computer features. The ride is so smooth the only real problem you have to watch if you do not pay close attention you can find yourself driving to fast. The color is great. Would buy it again and highly recommend to anyone.

That it is very difficult to see out of to drive safely.
The hood is to long and the pillars are to thick which makes it hard to see. It also is slow on the take off.

Do not buy a Chevrolet. They will break and you'll pay a ton in towing.
The rear end sounds like It's falling out every time the truck shifts gears. There is a weird whistling sound that sounds like a wastegate. It is a smooth truck compared to a ford, but I still think It's junk.

Potential to be a very nice truck for the price but just lacked.
This is the first vehicle I have bought brand new off the lot and it has needed more repairs than any of my used vehicles. Chevys warranty does short and my friend sold the same truck due to so many rear end issues in the first 6 months. It is had an exhaust leak since I have bought it, the rear ended has broke on mine as well. I.

Dependable Chevrolet truck.
It is been a wonderful truck. But not what I want or need. I would rather have an SUV, or crossover. Maybe a station wagon. Something with space. But not a minivan the truck has been very dependable. And gets great gas mileage. It has a nice long bed.

A maroon BMW 2016 model. 5 seating.
My vehicle is fine. It is not bad but it is not great. Sometimes it does not start up right away. It has comfortable seating though. And is maroon type color. It is usually liable for long car trips but not too far. I use it on a daily and it gets checked on often.

Truck has been OK so far but door sills are already starting to rust after only 5 years. Backup camera is very low-def, like looking thru a Coke bottle. Touch screen freezes up now & then. Gas mileage no better than my 2005 K1500 with the same drivetrain.

How I feel about 2016 ltz pickup.
I really like this vehicle because it gets really good gas mileage when we are on the highway, it has more than enough space for my family right now which I love. This may seem weird but it is also nice that the gas tank is not as big. Its 26 gallons. I used to have a ford that was 38 gallons. It got really expensive to have to fill that all the time. Also I really like how the seats can go up to place everything on the floor instead of the seats. It keeps them nice.

Great truck, but rebuilt transmission.
The truck has been very dependable. We love the durability of it and the power. Our biggest mechanical issue was that the transmission went out at just over 100,000 miles. It was a huge expense we didn't expect. Otherwise, we've only had general maintenance costs.

Strong, quiet, and both a family and work vehicle.
My 2016 Chevy Silverado lt (z71 off-road package) has the room as a family car, but the tough Chevy attitude, look, and performance of a work vehicle. It is a nice quiet ride and have had no mechanical issues. The new Chevy vvt they have in the engines give it an acceleration delay but it is got plenty of “get up and go” in the 5.3 v8 engine it is got.

It is a very comfortable and reliable and would take it anywhere.
Has a quiet ride and composed handling, even with a heavy payload. It gets adequate power from its base v6 and delivers excellent power from its v8 engines, which are well-suited for towing.... A 5.3-liter v8 produces 355 horsepower, and a 6.2-liter v8 puts out 420 horsepower.

Comfortable and fun to drive!
I absolutely love my Chevrolet Silverado. If I had to go tomorrow to buy a new vehicle, it'd be the same brand. The features it offers are perfect for me. I feel much more comfortable backing up in small spaces with the backup camera and in the winter time, the seat warmers are my favorite feature! The only feature it does not offer is my daughter has a jeep that has lights on the side view mirrors that light up when a vehicle is beside you. Those are very convenient in heavy traffic or on the interstate. Everything about my truck is comfortable. I enjoy driving it.

Only two things I do not like about this truck.
I just wish it had a grey interior. It does not; it has black carpet and black seats. It is plenty comfortable to drive, through. Mileage is acceptable, both city and on the highway. The only thing I do not like about it is the interior color. Black just gets too hot in the summer and, for some reason I cannot figure out, the air conditioner comes on instead of the heater when I use the remote starter. Handy in the summer, but not so much in the winter. I guess that is another thing I do not like about the truck. So... That is two things: the interior color and the fact that the air conditioner comes on automatically when I use the remote starter. Other than those two things, the truck is great!

I had a ram 1500 prior. I liked the power of the ram much better. It is comfortable but we could use more room in the backseat. My kids are cramped if there is anything other than them in the back. It does not feel as comfortable towing at the higher weights. My tow capacity is 9200, my camper weighs 5400 empty and it feels like I am towing a rock.

It gets pretty good gas mileage for a truck and is fun to drive no matter what you want to do.
It's a pick up truck that is my primary vehicle that i use daily for work and on the weekend to tow my boat to the lake.

A maroon BMW 2016 model. 5 seating.
My vehicle is fine. It is not bad but it is not great. Sometimes it does not start up right away. It has comfortable seating though. And is maroon type color. It is usually liable for long car trips but not too far. I use it on a daily and it gets checked on often.

Things to do to correct the problems on 2009 and up GMC/Chevy trucks.
There’s an issue with the transmission torque converter having premature failure due to lock up coming in all the time. There’s a tune you can have done to fix it where lock up only comes in around 40 mph, 2014 and up have a updated cooler valve kit to help with the trans cooler flow. If these updated items are done before the problem happens it will prolong the life of the transmission. We do the updates at the transmission shop I work at.

The Chevy Silverado: why this should be the only truck you'll ever need.
It is great on gas, has awesome safety features, looks really great and gets me from point A to point B with no problem at all. It has an excellent sound system, very nice interior and handles like a dream. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good truck.

Reliable but prone to rust.
The vehicle is very reliable, however I have had issues with rust. There is rust forming in the wheel wells and that is not desirable. The vehicle components are good though. I have had no issues or breakdowns and have owned it for 4 years now. Overall good.

White Chevy Silverado 1500 lt.
Absolutely love this truck! I have no problems with it at all. The gas mileage is pretty good for me I only really drive it back and to from work or to the store. Drove almost 3 hours away from where I live and back and had half a tank left. Also the radio features are awesome with the navigation system right in front of me!

A good looking truck that holds a purpose.
Pulls well. Great storage capacity all around (bed/cab area) and decent gas mileage for out of town trips like the lake/cabin/hunting land. Very happy with my purchase. Has great traction and all weather conditions including snow and sleet during the colder months of the year.
