I know 2019s are out and I've just purchased a 2001 Z71 LS 1500 extended cab. No, this18 year-old truck is not anywhere close to new but this is very solid and smooth compared with my 1997 2WD Silverado. It fits like a glove since its controls are a near photocopy of the 1997. The 5.3L has good power though i won't claim it's impressive. The truck shifts nicely and the underbody is aging well. I'm hoping to keep this on the road for 10+ more years and I think it can make it.

I purchased an '01 LT Ext. Cab SB Z71 new in May of '01, just prior to the intro of OnStar as std. on the LT trim. It's style, size, and feel are "just right" to me when compared to the '01 Ram and '01 Ford. There are a few squeaks over bumps when it's cold (50F or below), but nothing out of the ordinary. Plenty of power from the 5.3L, but you need to bury your foot to find it. Blame the over- conservative tranny programming GM provides and get something like the Hypertech PowerProgrammer to "fix" it. Great in snow, but the ABS is a little too sensitive. Either add weight to the bed (300lbs or so) or see if a dealer will adjust it.

I've had my 2001 for about 1.5 years. The looks of the truck are great but it could use refinement in the interior (a lot of cheap plastic next to the leather). I've had it serviced twice for drivetrain noise during start and stops. They ended up replacing the rear leaf springs and the yoke on the rear-end. It is better but I think the problem is coming back. There are also a lot of little annoying noises and squeeks in the interior, especially when it gets cold. The 5.3L is great but it lacks the git up that I would expect from this engine. Perhaps its the 3.73 gear. I would expect that for the price of the truck that Chevy would take care of the little annoyances.
Good, not Great

My 9 mo. old '01 LT has a few issues I'd like to address. 1) Fix the ABS. It kicks in too early and too often. 2) The lower-lubar area on the leather buckets needs better long term comfort (4+ hours). 3) Some fit-and-finish details. Too many small rattles. 4) The 5.3L is powerful, but seems lacking in the low-end with the 3.73 ratio. If you're buying a truck to haul, tow, or go off-road with, pick the 4.10. You'll thank me later. Otherwise a solid, capable truck. Yes, I'd buy another one.
