Review
I've had 5 battery failures. The dealer and apparently GM cannot locate the cause. Had to have it towed once. Also, cannot get enough heat in the cabin when driving in cold weather. The dealer looked at this issue twice and found no problem. No more General Motors vehicles for me! Two days ago, I traded this unreliable truck for a 2010 Tundra.

Suggested Improvements
Put a heater in it. Put a real bumper on the rear end. I backed into a snowbank and did $1,800 in damage.

Review
This is a great truck. I had an 2004 F-150 previously and have always been a "Ford" guy. The Chevy rides better, has more power, and gets better gas mileage. I have averaged 17.2 mpg (the computer keeps track for you). If you go down the road at 65 mph you will get 22 mpg with this rig. The only issue I have had with it is the check engine light will come on if the temperature gets down to -15 or worse and there isn't enough fuel in the tank. Problem is solved by filling the tank. The dealer is also willing to fix it but I haven't got around to taking it there since it isn't really a big deal.
Favorite Features
Auto-dimming side mirrors, automatic lights, rain-sensor wipers, auto-start. All these features allow me to focus on DRIVING the truck!
Suggested Improvements
I could not get the sunroof because I am tall and it cuts the headroom down by a good 3-4 inches.

love truck. have 50,000 and only problem is rough idle. had at dealer 2 times but no luck. seat really stink but when I checked out 2009, they are the same. gas was a joke. I am very lite footed and get 15 highway. tried towing a car with tow mode and though my trans was going to blow from high rpm so i turned it off and was fine. great parts are power, power. also bottom of tailgate is already starting to rust. I really would buy another one, but with leather seats,

Review
Have NO problems with this truck, except for one. Goodyear tires it came with OEM, are a death threat to who ever is in the truck when ground is wet. I would like to see the CEO of goodyear drive with them on wet ground STAY AWAY from these tires, change them ASAP if you have them. I put General Grabbers on 200% better.
Favorite Features
Got great gas mileage coming back from Pittsburgh to NJ @ 23 MPG LOVE everything about this truck, but tires and cup holders
Suggested Improvements
Cup holders, rubber holding tabs are terrible, PLEASE improve. GM, please change your tire supplier!!!

Review
After owning several GM products the latest generation is nothing short of amazing! I went from a 97 GMC pickup, to a 2003 Tahoe, and am now driving a 2007 Silverado Crew Cab Max package. I highly recommend them. I have pulled boats from 30ft down, fully loaded dump trailers and the like with the truck with only the addition of a set of rear airbags and a trailer brake controller. This is absolutely the best vehicle I have ever had to work/play with on the weekend and commute with during the week. I was extremely skeptical of the estimated 19 MPG highway, after owning the rig for over 2 years and 65,000 miles I dont find it far off I usually have a combined fuel average of 15.5+ at fill up!
Favorite Features
XM, Easy to keep clean interior, The Bose audio system is GREAT, 6.0 liter motor and 4:10 rear end is a perfect combo for getting down the road loaded or empty. Remote Start for those cold/hot days! The look of the truck is great and the amount of in dash and in seat storage is more than adequite.
Suggested Improvements
I really wish GM would introduce a fold flat back seat!

Review
highway driving causes 3rd gear failure at 35K miles? AC makes noise at "auto" setting and has been replaced once. Ongoing problems. Thank god for the GM warranty. Rear drink holders are fisher-price like. Other than that - interior is pretty good, comfortable, exterior looks like a truck should, XM is great. No blue tooth is crazy but they fixed in later years. Can't understand why GM wouldn't spend the extra $50 and make wheel well inserts standard. Plastic door inserts look like miniature lego pieces ie: cheap as hell. Used to own a Tundra and went domestic to try and help local business but may rethink next time is I keep having problems. At 40,000 miles now.
Favorite Features
Exterior looks and get up and go when you need it.
Suggested Improvements
get rid of the plastic crap inside (door molds and cup holders). Also - find a fix for 3rd gear overheating and causing metal fragments in the bottom of the pan.

Review
I had this truck for about two years now, and have a 2008 reg cab long bed for a year now with a six engine(6 was not my choice but by the company I worked for) and my 5,3 gets better mileage than it but nowhere near the 20 claimed. But it rides well and can carry everything I have thrown at is so far. Very comfortable on long trips was a ease going all over Texas with style. The computer display gives great information about vehicle status.
Favorite Features
XM Satillite Bose radio with steering wheel controls and rear separate radio for the siblings, excellent ride and handling even while towing. Dual HVAC, comfortable adjustable seating.
Suggested Improvements
Seats collects too much lint, could use better mpg. like 20 mpg for real. Delco could make a better battery.

Review
74,000 km's and the transmission won't shift gears. I don't tow, I do not beat on it, I take very good care of it and this is how I am repaid. GM needs to put alot more thought into building a reliable truck. My last 2002 silverado was just as big a lemon. And to think I would give Chevy one more chance. I can't wait to see how much this one is going to cost; I'm sure GM will try to get out of the so called warranty.
Favorite Features
Suggested Improvements
Rear ends, should be after market. Transmissions should be after market. Oil pumps should be after market.

Review
Purchased this LTZ a month ago and love the smooth ride,interior comfort,feel of the road. Have not pulled my boat yet but it should handle it with ease. Plenty of power. Bose sound system rocks! along with the satellite radio. It takes quite a while to figure out all the buttons and what they control. The driver information system is nice, but unfortunately it shows that the truck doesn't anywhere near the 20 hiway MPG that Chevy and Howie Long brag about!!! Averaging about 15 miles per gallon with 90% hiway driving and feathering the gas pedal.
Favorite Features
Pretty much everything, design of the 18" wheels is sharp and really dresses up the exterior.
Suggested Improvements
Chevy needs to stop lying and be upfront about the real mileage you can expect.
