2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 4dr Extended Cab 4WD 8 ft. LB (5.3L 8cyl 6A)
Just picked up my 2011 Silverado LT 4x4 Extended Cab Z-71. It's got the 5.3 Vortec engine in it and it is incredible. The truck has more power than I know what to do with, and is incredibly responsive in every way. Steering is tight, brakes are firm and react the way I expect them to, and the suspension is not mushy at all. The interior is comfy, but the dashboard seems kind of cheap to … me. I suppose the LTZ is probably a little nicer.
I got the All-Star package on mine, so it has the dual zone climate control, and the push-button 4x4 along with several other amenities.
Best Chevy truck yet!

I typically buy a new truck every 10 years; this 2011 replaced a 2000 Silverado. The new one sits taller, and is a bit bigger overall. It has more power, and feels more capable. First fill-up yielded 15.3 MPG, in a mix of city, highway, and ranch use. The LT truck has a long bed, Z71 package, 5.3 V8, 18" wheels, built-in trailering; in short just about everything I need to haul ranch … stuff around. I did add the Ranch Hand replacement front end, lighted headache rack, and new tool box. It's ready to work, and ready to play.

I do love my truck but I have to warn everyone - don't be fooled by fuel economy on the sticker.
Tried my best to get high MPG and most I've got so far is 16.1 MPG and this is a brand new 2011 truck.
There also was some defect in the paint on the roof but the dealer fixed that right away.
I really do love the truck but I hate the fuel economy since I expected more and I need to get a … storage box for the bed since there is very little room under the back seat.
I have the Allstar and the Z71 packages and wouldn't get the truck without those options.
Motor has a lot of power.
Truck drives smooth and quiet (with windows closed).
I
have the 6.6 foot bed but it didn't show up in options.
