Got a great deal on this 2003 LT 1500 Silverado, Took it on its first day trip and all I can say is I love my truck. I averaged 19 mpg on the highway, with the A/C running the whole time. This truck has the smoothest ride I have ever experienced in a full size truck, and its a Z71 4x4. I looked at a lot of trucks before I made the decision to by this beauty, and all I can say is that I feel I made the best choice. If I had to make another choice Dodge was a close 2nd and Ford trucks didn't even come close especially when it comes to fit, finish, comfort and ride quality. So if your thinking of buying a used Chevy 1500, look for an LT and you won't be sorry.

The Legacy of this series is remarkable! It truly was a very smart move to discontinue the Chevy Custom and Cheyanne Series vehicles. I am looking forward to several years of enjoyable driving! Regards, Lance Now that I've been driving this fine machine everyday for the past 9 (Nine) months, I will buy nothing else from now on!! Kudos Chevrolet, Lance P.S. This "Rig" is equipped with the superior 5.3 Ltr. V8..... Thanks again As I write this updated appraisal; I have owned this Beauty a full year and no worries. My total maintainance costs over this past year have been less than $500.00! This vehicle is truly an Icon!!

I was looking for a reliable fullsize pickup that would get good gas mileage. Turns out, I should have just gone for the V-8. Overall, this is a very nice pickup, and I have had no problems so far. But, for a V-6 2wd pickup, I was expecting better than 17 mpg. The truck is comfortable, and is large enough to use as a family vehicle. It has some really nice features for a base model, like the dual zone climate control, cruise, and CD player. Everything is well laid out and easy to use. The V- 6 has adequate power to get around, but is nothing to brag about. Overall, I would recommend this truck, but would suggest one of the bigger engines.
