We are happy with this truck, would recommend to anyone looking for good truck.

This is a very reliable work truck. We also use it as a personal truck, because it is very comfortable, and can haul our whole family. It has leather seats that are heated and air conditioned. This is the first vehicle we've owned that had this feature. The only complaint we have about this truck is the trailer brake does not always work. We've taken it to the garage and had it fixed multiple times, but it keeps breaking. Other than that we are very happy with the truck, and glad we switched from dodge to a Chevy!!

Really good truck, highly recommended.

Really good truck, a little bit wide for certain roads but that is okay, handles off road like a champ, although do not drive if you have never drove a large truck before, the hood can be a bit hard to see over if you are on the shortest side. Other than that is, it is a pretty good truck over all.

Review of the 2017 Silverado.

It has no problems. It is very reliable. Very comfortable. You can fit a lot of stuff in the truck bed. This is a truck I would buy again it is easy to find parts for. If I were to buy another truck I would buy a 2019 Silverado and I would get the same model.

Livestock haulers dream in a luxurious, comfortable package.

Luxurious interior with sewn leather seats, large entertainment screen and a sunroof. Rides like a dream and pulls like a horse. Stout constructed and always feel comfortable hauling livestock on long trips. Never had a moments trouble with the truck and would buy another in a heartbeat.

It is a sleek and dependable truck, with the hauling capability that is wrapped in a beautiful package.

My truck is both sleek and tough. It has the capacity to tow heavy weights, is very dependable, and a beautiful truck. There is nothing I don't like about it, and is basically my dream truck.

I love my silver stallion Silverado.

Excellent on fuel, roomy comfy. Radio options are great, color is beautiful comes with extended warranties 4x4 works amazing. Never had any issues with anything. Dependable truck great when towing a trailer whether or not the load is heavy or not. Still runs like new overall amazing Chevy truck.

Haley B

Would never choose anything over a Chevy.

We love our truck, its big and bad and we bought it to pull our Forest River sabre 36bhq, it rides so smooth behind us! We also have 3 huskies and 3 children, the extended cab is big enough for all of us to squeeze in. The plentiful amount of plugins ensures that all of our devices stay charged up on long drives.

Reliability

DEF system on the 2017 is a joke i have spent over $3000.00 on repairs on this truck and have had to do a forced regen every 30,000 miles i have replaced the catalytic converter and now at 130000 miles after the truck quit running i was told i need a new particulate exhaust filter for $3200.00 and the best news is its on back order!! Never buy a 2017 duramax

Poor performer. Issues that hold it up from getting the job done.

Good truck but lots of growing pains. Lots of def issues. No rear a/c vents. Poor warranty coverage vs other brands. Tows well when it works. Previous service visit took 3 visits and almost 30 days to fix. Needs a def level indicator. It goes from “ok” to fill up now. Poor turning radius compared to other brands.

The only highlight is power and functionality which is important

It's a work truck so it's basic. It does have a 11 ft utility body. Wish it was a little more comfortable. It has power. It hauls my equipment well. It performs well. It does have automatic windows which is nice and is a dually. It has a Reading service body which I currently am unhappy with.

The well defined truck you just have to have!

My new Chevy Silverado has made me extremely happy. It rides especially smoother. The handling is very responsive. I got the fancy wheels that really makes the truck stand out. The design of the interior is well thought out. It has the power driver and passenger seats with memory positioning which comes in handy.

How Reliable Is The 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD?

Is The 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD A Good Value?

I bought it used and it was $50,000. I feel that was a really good deal, because brand new truck with everything this truck has would of been around $70,000.

Stephanie D.

List price was $64000, but there was a sale so we paid less. For everything we got, I think it was a good value. We got exactly what we wanted
