Bought new in 97. Drive daily. Been a very reliable, hard working "city truck" for me. I drive it fast. 6 passenger bench seat is roomy but hurts the back on long drives. Sterio and A/C are top notch. Handles very well. Vortec motor is great. I put exhaust, K&N and rims & tires and drives like a race car. Its never let me down.

had an old 97 chevy silverado 1500. engine was a 5.3 V8 with 350,000 miles on it. was a work truck for most of its life but it had the power, durability and dependability like no other truck i've ever driven. only thing i've ever had to replace was steering pump and a thermostat other than that, absolutely amazing truck. chevy needs to keep making them like this. unfortunately i sold her a few months ago but in december i will be revisiting another 97 silverado for sure. thankyou chevy for building a beautiful truck.

bought my truck about two months ago. It has only about 60k miles on it. The fuel pump went out last month and the fuel pump system just went out this weekend. Cost me $540. It seems when ever i drive it on the freeway something goes wrong so im kind of scared to go back on again. I love the design and its powerful engine when its working though.

I have owned the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 since March of 2002. In the very short time that I have had this truck, I have not found anything that is to my disliking. I have no problems with it at all mechanicaly. Of course, it only has 44,000 miles on it. If everything goes well with this vehicle, I will buy more Silverado 1500's in the years to come.
