The ruggedness of a Silverado. Cannot beat a Chevrolet for power and longevity.
My truck is very comfortable to ride in. The performance is top notch the engine has plenty of power and the 4 wheel drive mechanism work great. It would be nice if it got a little better gas mileage but I can trade that for the extra power. This is my first truck with bucket seats and I will say I liked the split bench seat in my other truck better. This one is also four door which I really find to be very handy. My previous truck was three door and that was a problem from time to time. The stereo system in the truck is great. The controls are easy to reach and all the gauges and instrument lights are easy to see.

Reliable Chevy Silverado 2500.
My truck is incredibly reliable. I have had no problems with it. It is 19 years old and still works fantastic. I have had no problems with the heater. The air conditioning does not work great anymore but as long as it does not exceed about 80 outside it works pretty well.

I love Chevrolet trucks. They are the most dependable trucks on the road.
The ride of the truck is great. It has lots of power and handles very well. The fuel economy is not great but adequate. Hauling is very good with plenty of hauling power. The styling of the truck is very good and I love the suspension. I like Chevrolet trucks a lot because they are very dependable and are reasonable to fix.

Chevy is the most dependable.
Fuel pump had to be replaced after a year. Other than that it has been a very reliable vehicle. I feel totally comfortable in it and safe. I would drive to California and back and be perfectly fine. I wish it would last forever. I plan on driving it until it takes its last breath so to speak.

I would not want to depend on anything but Chevrolet vehicles.
She runs like a top. I have the 6. 0 liter engine and she's never left me on the side of the road. These is nothing I dislike about my Silverado.

Reliable, heavy-duty truck with very mild interior damages and unattractive paint job.
This truck is an automatic and it is reliable for transportation. It has very mild transmission issues as it slips sometimes when shifting gears. The paint has worn off over time, but can easily be improved with a fresh, new paint job. The leather interior is somewhat ragged due to everyday use but can be restored easily since nothing is broken. All the seats are cloth and in decent shape.
