She is very reliable, and can pull everything we need it to.
It is very specious. I can use it to move stuff. It is tough enough to pull a trailer, camper and the pontoon boat.

I have had this truck for 2 years and plan on having it for 10 more years.
I like Chevy products especially trucks. I have a 4 door crew cab. Power dependability do not have trouble with motor or transmission. I have it lifted with a 6 inch lift and the sound system is custom. Parts are easy to change and auto zone has all the parts need for gm. I have had Ford and Dodge trucks before and fell Chevy is more dependable. It could use better seats. The lights and flares are easy accessible and parts are easy to come by.

A dependable pickup truck.
My husband and I love our Chevrolet Duramax diesel. It is extremely dependable. It is a heavy duty truck with lots of room inside. I also feel very safe when I drive this truck. It is a large vehicle and very heavy duty. It was worth every penny!! We have not had any trouble with our truck but to add to that we always maintain it. Oil changes, inspections, tire rotations etc. . . Are very important!!

We absolutely love the color.
I like our chevrolet silverado because it is a dependable vehicle, great gas mileage plus can use e85 flex fuel in it. It also offers a lot of room for my children. Dislike that the cruise control kicks down to much and get less gas mileage.

Dependable and no major issues.
Dependable, reliable. Not the greatest gas mileage after the lift kit. Looks great. Normal problems such as replaced battery, tires etc.. No major problems, knock on wood.

The back up sensors are the best tool to have for such a large truck.
Love this truck. It holds up very well. Love the back up sensors and the mirrors that rotate in. Great for carrying items but also large enough for a lot of people. Big truck but easy to drive. Love the hard top on the cab so stuff can be left and not get wet. Easy towing hook ups.

This is the truck for you if you want power and towing capabilities.
It is an awesome pick up, it pulls my horse trailer very well. The four wheel drive will always get me where I need to go. The Duramax engine has all the power I need.

Vehicle was used for over the road trucking. A very reliable truck.
It was used for over the road trucking before being retired for a daily use vehicle. We've replaced the motor, transmission and brakes. I love this vehicle.

My Silverado 2500hd is still a great vehicle at 145,000 miles.
For the most part my Silverado 2500hd is very reliable as I have had very little mechanical issues that would not even be considered noteworthy. What should be noted as to reliability is that I use my truck for it is intended purposes and always service it for preventative maintenance purposes before the scheduled requirements. As to the performance of the truck, it performs exactly as I expect it to when I expect it to. It should be noted that the topography of my region is equally of hilly and flat terrain and I mainly tow a gooseneck trailer with no more than 8000 lbs gross trailer weight. Therefore, I couldn't be happier with the truck nor ask for any more out of it.

Best brand vehicle on the market!! Hands down.
Everything about this Chevy truck is great except there is a problem with the check engine light coming on. The check has been checked out entirely and there’s no problems. We have owned 3 of these a 2001 a 2002 and this one and never any issues. Would t buy any brand but Chevy.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Myatta W.

I have to almost jump into my truck but I like it. I have to help my babies inside sometimes. It takes 60 to get a full tank of gas which causes me to gas up twice when I am going over 4 hours away. All in all I love my truck.
