It Can't Get Better Than This!
This truck is a dream come true. It handles like a Caddy and gets about the same mileage as one. It is comfortable and it is good looking. That's all one man can ask for.

Poorly built truck
I have had this truck in the the shop 11 times. All for warranty issues. The service department has been excellant but the dealership has been awful to deal with.I suggest going to another company for a vechicle. Chevy hit there all time low on this one
gmproductalert
forward sprague gear failed at 54000mi,replaced transmision,$2280 cost.manufacturer refused financial assistance.this trans is too light for the vehichleit is in.GM has been aware of this for years and continues to use it.
FRUSTRATED
In one year this vehicle has been to three different dealer's,a total of eight times for repair. The breaking is terrible, drastick loss of power at times, clunking and grinding in drive train,leather seat seams split. This from what is supposedly a 37,000.00 sticker price... somebody had a bad day!!
1500 SS

i got this truck to replace my 2000 lt silv. z71 and in the 5 months i've had my 03 its been one biiiiig headache its been at the service center as much as its been in my garage.
Buyer beware!
Bought this truck brand new off the lot. 3 1/2 years old and the cylinder head is faulty. $2000+ repair that GM has admitted they knew these cylinder heads were faulty, but they won't step up and help defray repair costs. Truck is starting to rust already and we've had the steering column replaced 2 times so far! I thought Chevy's were built to last?
2004 Z-71 Crew Cab
Have had the truck at the dealership for a total of 15 days. We are on the 3rd steering shaft; it drives like a golf cart. Makes a popping noise when turning but only if it's over 70 degrees outside. Steering wheel squeaks when the turn signal is on.
Worst Chevy Ever
I have owned a lot of GM products over the years, and never have I disliked a truck as much as this one. It has been one problem after another. First the cowl was leaking into the cab, then the rear passenger windows would not deal, the the keyless entry locked me out on about 20 occasions...I could go on and on. Never again will I buy a GM after the worst time in my life.
My Truck
For the frist time in a long yime I will be at home trying to think of some place to go so I can drive my truck.
Silverado SS
Although it does not get any press, I love my SS. It has great power, great looks, supurb handling. And she can pass anything but a gas station. The all wheel drive brings down the mileage a little.
Good ol' Plain Jane Crew Cab
Bought this truck because they FINALLY made the 1500 Crew Cab. I think we did it right. Fit, finish, performance is very good. ( C'mon people, it's a truck! Anything better than 16-18 mpg, and drag strip performance, you'll have to build yourself! ) I have put on dual exhaust, and an air intake system, and increased mileage, but it's good enough to start with! The only thing I would change is getting the long-bed. Also, after-market/dealer-installed tonneau cover is a joke! But overall, a very good, competent truck. LT pkg. makes it even better than some cars.
4x4
All in all it is a good truck. Have trouble with speedometer and tach gauges. Company does not stand behind product and will not fix. Also trouble with front 4x4, having trouble fixing, speakers don't work then they work
Best Truck Ever
This truck won me over!!! It rides smooth and very quiet... The engine sounds awesome
The Silverado has everything plus more!!
This truck is awesome. My first truck I've ever had and it has been everything plus more than i have expected. The power that the engine gives off is more than enough to get my everyday tasks done. The storage space inside and in the bed of the truck is phenomenal. The way everything is set up on the dashboard is easy and convenient to use. I dont think you can make a better truck!
Great Truck!!
Picked up my 2004 LS Silerado 4-door extended cab last Saturday and I absolutely love my truck.
Simply excellent
A great daily driver for a pick up. Engine performance is great, even with a load in the bed the truck doesn't miss a beat. For it's size and average steering the handling is amazing.
Fianl Decision!!!!!
After testing every truck in this cat., I finally got the LT 2wd. Surpasses all the others in comfort, power, ride, solid feel. I hope the Lim. slip and traction assist work almost as good as 4wd. with weight in the bed. Fingers crossed...everything else so far is great..
the 04 silverado
i am a automotive technicial at priority chevorlet and dollar for dollar i see no other truck of choice than the new silverado. These trucks perform extremly well. I work on these trucks every day and I have never seen a real big problem with these trucks, no big recalls and after a few thousand miles the interior rattles are at a minimum.
HB review
It's a great vehicle. Lots of fun to drive. It's roomy inside and the stereo system is nice, though I prefer to leave it off lots of the time so I can listen to the V-8. It's a beautiful looking truck too. No real complaints. I knew gas mileage wasn't going to be great before I bought...actually a little better than anticipated.
Great Truck!
This is my fourth Chevy truck since 1997. I absolutely love it. It has a very strong engine and great ride. Drives very heavy, which is good also. Love all the features as does my wife. Came out of reg cab 4wd and enjoy the extra room. Gets much better gas mileage than the 4wd. I average about 18.4 mpg. In contrast, my wife has an Explorer and I can 't get but 16.5 out of it with a V6 and lighter vehicle. Highly recommed the truck. Ready for an interior upgrade. The new Ford really looks nice as does the Nissan. The '07 update should be great and I bet will blow those two away.
good power
the 2004 chevy v-6 has really good power and the truck looks really great
Roomy for the kids...
Took the grand kids to the east coast 3600 miles round trip. 22 miles to a gal. Roomy even for the 5 year old not to get fussy. Love the bench seat in the back. Great on the get up and go. The horse power is good for a 4.8 vortec. Oh yeah the price was right too. Color Arrival Blue sure is pretty. Overall good for the money.....
2004 Z71 5.3 Ext Cab S/B
I love this truck.!! It drives nice the seats are excellent and the ride noise is minimal.. Leather (AN3) Full Feature Seats Heated Buckets are a must when ordering. The Steering wheel mounted controls allows you to control everything except the traffic outside at which time you can just turn up the 6 disc Indash BOSE stereo... Very Nice.. Ordered with 17 in off road tires and wheels and they really improve the looks of the exterior.
broken
rearend went out at 4775 miles! need I say more?

Chevy Silverado - Great Truck
Extremely satisfied with my truck. The I have receommended both the vehicle and dealership to many of my friends. I can't say I think to highly of Edmunds rating system though as the price you show is quite a bit higher than what was on the sticker.
My first truck
fun to drive, good power
LOVING THE CHEV
Absolutely love the truck! Had a 99 silverado before, this one out-performs it without a doubt!
NICE TRUCK!!!!!!
This truck won me over, from the looks to when I hit the petal down it took off beautifully and the ride was very comfortable.
CHEVY IS THE BEST
THIS IS MY SECOND SILVERADO IAM REAL HAPPY WITH IT. REAL GOOD TRUCK I LOOKED AT OTHER TRUCKS BUT THIS ONE REALLY CONVICED ME. REAL GOOD FOR TOWING AND ITS JUST A REAL GOOD TRUCK IT HAS MORE SPACE THANANY OTHER EXTENDED CAB TRUCK OUT THERE
bad air bags
our truck lasted 40 days &the air bag light came on. took a week to get parts. lasted 4days. air bag light is on again. Called chevy in detroit, they acted as if they couldn't possibly have cared less. This will be my last chevy. $27,000 sticker and it doesn't even go 90 days without problems. I still think they should replace the vehicle
A ride thats unbelevable......
This vehicle rides like a cadillac. It's the most comfortable and smoothest riding truck I've been in, it rides better than a Ford, thats for sure.

Chevy #2
This is my second Chevy truck and I absolutely love it. I only traded in the first because it was a lease. Came home with another Silverado and am extremely happy once more. I have fun driving a truck and I feel safe at the same time. Can't see myself owning anything but a Chevy truck. :)
EDS SILVERADO
Like the truck a lot except for a vibration a 1200 RPMs
Great Truck!
I have over 70,000 miles on this truck and it has never seen the inside of a shop for repairs. Routine maintenance is all that's require. Replaced the factory tires with Michelin ltx when they wore out and that has improved the ride and wet traction considerably.
Overall quallity
Fun to drive, and very reliable and works well for day to day activities, and excellent for taking out in the wilderness and using it
Chevy the best running ever
They chevy truck is dependable as well as a joy to have to take of road. If i had to have any truck i would only own a chevy. Chevy's like a rock.
Great Truck
I have had many trucks. This is by far the best I have ever owned
perfect
Best that has ever rolled off the line.
First Chevy Truck
I tried all of the full size trucks and found Chevy to be the best value for the money. The new F-150 was very uncomfortable especially for the long drives I take. Dodge trucks were overpriced and came with very few features.
Good Solid Truck
Good ride, good looks, good truck. I added a bed rug, bed rails, and cover.
