My Chevy Silverado is reliable and tough.
Awesome truck. I purchased the truck used. I use it for work. It looks professional and can handle the heavy loads I haul. I have never had mechanical issues. The body is virtually rust free. The extended bed has been a life saver. The rear seats are handy for storing tools or passengers. Very comfortable and reliable.

My special car that never lets me down and still ride really good.
It was the last car my husband got for me. So I try to take care of it I keep it up. I like the way it is ride I also like that is I knows it is taken me were I need to go. It been a good run car I would probably but another one. Everything stills work in the car it still all work good it is all just like we bought it I think it needs a new radio in it because you can't turn it up and down.

My 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 hd.
My truck is 12 years old & I keep it in top shape. It rewards me with reliable service. It is a crew cab & comfortably holds five or even six people. The only breakdown I have ever had is when the fuel pump gave out. It is got 145, 000 miles on it which is not a lot for a truck that old.

It's the first vehicle I purchased on my own. It runs really well.
It runs really well. I have had to do little work to it. The one downside is It's got a lot of miles on it.

Peace of mind and a smooth ride.
It is very durable and it is my first vehicle that I have peace of mind that it is not going to have something break every week. It rides extremely smooth, has good power, and fairly decent gas mileage.

The 6 way lumbar heated seats are great for people that have back problems!
It is an extended cab is that it has plenty of cargo room, enough room to comfortably fit 3 car seats for the grandkids. It has all electric, heated front seats with all leather interior. We have never had any mechanical problems since owning the vehicle. It is extremely comfortable that has fold down armrests and with the heated seats makes getting in it in the wintertime a n added bonus. It also helps having the lumbar support, mix that with the heated seats and it helps my back problems. It is 4-wheel drive which is easily accomplished with a press of a button. You can also press a button to adjust the torque if you are pulling a trailer. You can press the button where you adjust mirrors & it will fold in the mirrors for safety at the car wash or when you want to pull up close to the ATM machine. It has factory tinted windows which helps keeping the sun from blinding you. It had several options that could be ordered when initially buying the vehicle and we purchased second hand but everything works incredibly well. The bed liner has protected the bed of the truck wonderfully and the 4-wheel drive has come in incredibly handy, quickly, without having to get out of the vehicle. We love everything about our truck and hope that this helps future buyers of vehicles similar to it!

Very cost efficient and family friendly. Easy riding on long trips.
Nothing wrong with it I love it drives great needs more space for kids. More doors and it would be great to have 4 wheel drive over all though it is a good pick up. It gets really good gas mileage my husband loves it. He uses it for work. And it great for pulling or hauling, just about anything.

The Silverado truth of the matter.
It holds together well enough, but the size of the vehicle makes for difficult driving in tighter spaces within the city. Parking parallel can be a nightmare. That said, it is never broken down and has held up for years, still a comfy ride overall. Gas mileage can be tough too.
accountCircle Gayle W
Its very sturdy reliable Its a long lasting vehicle it will take u anywhere.
It's a great truck but Its too big for me and It's a gas hog it does great on freeways gas wise but driving in town is a killer on your wallet.

Reliable truck, rust issues though.
Started making strange sounds, rusts easily when exposed to elements. Reliable for normal and casual use. Not recommended for hauling huge things, if so shock absorbers might need to be replaced after a short while. Emergency tire is hard to remove from below the truck.

That it is a 1500 but it has a towing capacity of a 2500
I like that it's a 1500 and it can still tow a lot and that it's in good condition. I don't like that it eats a lot of gas I'm filling up a few times a week and also that the paint is chipping away. It is in runs good for the year that it is

I adore my vehicle, and you should too!
I love my truck very much. I think it's good on gas and amazing during the harsh elements. I often go on road trips up north and it works great in the snow. I used to have a small car that could barely stand potholes, but my current vehicle does amazing with them. Potholes are no longer an issue for me.

Why I Love My Chevrolet Silverado 1500HD
My Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD is great! We absolutely love her. She is a 2006 and has over 200,000 miles on her. We used to travel with my husband's job so she has been all over the US, through Canada and into Alaska and back to the lower 48. We have not had any major issues with this truck. Routine maintenance is really all we've ever had to do. My hubby takes very good care of her. This is a well made vehicle and I would recommend the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD to anyone who is looking to buy a pickup truck. We will be purchasing another vehicle in a year or two and getting another Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD isn't out of the question, unless they no longer make them. Like I said, we love our truck!
