One nice ride for good price.
This has been a wonderful vehicle, lots of power, performance, towing capabilities and looks. It has some of the greatest creature comforts I have been around and is an all around beast! This truck will turn heads everywhere you go and has a really sleek design, the ability to customize them is unlimited with tons of performance and enhancement options.

If you need or want serious power buy the diesel engine.
Performance on this truck is overall good. But it lacks in pulling power. I am pleased with the interior and exterior look of the truck.
accountCircle William W
Great power with great fuel economy.
Very powerful, extremely comfortable on long trips and very safe with 4 wheel drive, and the diesel gets surprisingly great mileage. It is also quite good looking and looks very aggressive with big tires and power running boards. The interior is as nice as any luxury car as well.

Best truck on the market, hands down
The truck does everything it's supposed to do and more. Amazing power for towing, payload or simply driving. It's comfortable, and the interior is loaded with options, and extremely nice. The crew cab offers more than enough room for my family, as well as my tools if needed. Added features like MyLink and wireless chargers in the center console send the truck to the next level. Duramax and Allison are hard to beat as a reliable powertrain.

It is very a very safe and dependable vehicle. I never worry about me or my kids while on the road.
I love the power and size. The dependability. It is extremely safe. And the towing capacity is amazing! I don't like that there are no air conditioning vents in the back seat.

The 2500hd Silverado is the best diesel truck option on the market.
Cp4 fuel pump is a ticking time bomb. Get the cp3 conversion, it is tried and true. Other than that the truck runs amazing, very reliable. I have had many diesels and the duramax engine with the Allison transmission is a great combo. Chevy is where it is at for quality and performance.

Easy for r others to steal or get into to steal your items.
Rides great, like the dashboard very easy to read. The seats are comfortable. Fits well for work and for pleasure.

Silver Chevrolet Silverado 4 wheel drive
My 2016 Silverado has been the best truck I've ever had. Its performance is great, and looks great. The tires can bring you cross country, and is very stable to get you where you want to go. When you drive, it's very smooth. In the interior, an absolute beauty. You got all the nice Chevy MyLink features. It's also great to have the 6 seats if you bring company. I love this truck!

One of the toughest trucks on the market.
My Chevy Silverado 2500hd is a tough truck. We were able to use it to get my husbands freightliner semi unstuck in mud, hauling it uphill on a very rainy day in the Tennessee mountains. The only problem I have with this vehicle is that it just isn't that comfortable on long rides and we do some awfully long rides when we haul or fifth wheel all over the country.

Great heating and cooling.
My 3/4 ton chevy silverado 2500 is a workhorse that does everything I need it to do. I have a 24 foot trailer I routinely use and my silverado tows even my bulldozer without fail. I have hauled all sorts of different loads in all kinds of climates and my silverado 2500 has never let me down. I have taken several long trips hauling cargo and never had a problem with anything I have towed. I have a bad back and the seat warmers help out a lot with that while I am driving. Love the backup camera it really helps be a lot safer. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Problems and good things to the 2500 hd truck.
Def heater went out. Also some kind of fuel indicator went out that causes truck to have decreased power. It cost over $1000 to have it repaired. Other than that, the vehicle gets great gas mileage and is extremely comfortable to drive. Little difficult to see out of front passenger side front window.
