It pulls anything you hook up to it like it isn't even back there

I absolutely love my truck! It pulls any trailer I hook up to great! The ac works perfectly and I love having the vents in the back for my son!

Dawn m

Dependable, stylish, rough & tough. It is the best vehicle I have ever owned.

Chevrolet is the most reliable and dependable vehicle on the market hands down.

Just a good old truck and I would buy another one but make it newer.

My is a truck and I use it for work and haul stuff and love to drive very comfort nice and has a big gas tank on it so don't have to stop for gas as often when driving on the road it is a four door truck so don't have to get out and let someone else in good legroom in the back the set goes down to make a bed so if you are traveling you can sleep.

Our chevy went 132,000 before brake pads and rotors wore out!

I love the Duramax engine! It has been reliable, and allows me to pick up and GO when needed. Fast acceleration! I love the style, and have had to do very little repairs. I do wished we would have gotten a crew cab instead of an extended cab.

Love my 2004 Chevrolet Silverado.

Bought this truck brand new, have put 280, 000 miles in it in 14 years. It has never given us a bit of trouble. We have always have food left go with Chevy/gm vehicles.

Duramax diesel cannot be beat.

I love my Silverado! It is comfortable to ride in. The diesel motor can not be beat for working. It gets good fuel mileage on trips. The only think I have trouble with is the service 4wd keeps coming on for no reason. Other than that I am very happy with my purchase.

Bobby T

Nun its big a lot of room fun to ride in.

No not at the moment jus need sum tires. It's a great truck. Rides good. Good air and heat.

Aaron S

Pretty much the truck is great and runs amazing.

The vehicle runs next to perfect the only thing that it has wrong with it is bad electronics. It's got 175k miles and no problems.

Subs, no rust, very reliable.

Too many miles, loud, it is a gas guzzler. But very healthy and reliable. Taken quite a few long road trips in it and it is never failed me. No rust at all. Heated leather seats with subs in the back, aftermarket radio as well. Plenty of room and good for going mudding.

Maureen G

It uses a lot of gas which is very expensive at the moment.

It is convenient when i need to move or tow something but is a huge gas guzzler and i prefer to drive a smaller vehicle.

Chevy does not make them like they used to

Idiot lights stay on, check brake system, check tire pressure, check airbag... Spent $2000 when I bought it to fix it and I still have on the idiot lights on, the body rusting away, doors lock by themselves, trailer brake system plug in fell off back of truck

Heather D

It's been reliable. Good for what we use it for, which is hauling. Just Need more room

We have a single cab, wish I had more space. No cup holders, which sucks. It did good hauling for a while, ended up having to replaced pcm.
