A Home Run

I got lucky a month ago and found a 10,000 mile used 2010 black Silverado LTZ with every option at less than market price. My 1998 4Runner was still running good, but not enough guts to pull my boat. This is the truck i've always wanted and couldn't be more happy with all of the features. The 4Runner consistently (without boat) got 18 mpg, now I get 15-18 for the tank. The ride is awesome, the heated seats are the envy of my wife, and the look is the best on the market in my opinion. Yes, I'd do it again. Have not pulled the boat yet, but have no doubt it will do just fine. I plan on keeping this one around for a while. I've owned Fords before, but probably not again after this one.

Purchased our 2010 Silverado from Michael Hohl in Carson City, NV because I wanted a 4x4. Found this truck, and it's been comfortable and reliable with 18000+ miles on it, it is my vehicle of choice for road trips due to reliability, comfort, and gadgets such as USB port and ONSTAR. Had a little Colorado before that, which was a sweet little truck as well. Sorry I had to trade it in.

Poor Quality Build

Purchased a new 2010 Silverado and after 200 miles the interior noise became unbearable on the highway. Sounds like the rear passenger door of the crew cab is not closed. The door is closed, but the cab vents behind the rear seats are allowing for loud road noise. Wind noise can be heard though the weather strilling around the doors at hiway speed. Went back to the GM dealership to complain, and even though they admited that my vehicle is louder than most vehicles, I was told that "they all sound like that". I find this an unacceptable answer. The dealership offered to Duct Tape over the cab vents, but this would make closing the doors difficult.

Die hard Chevy guy but will not buy this truck

2010 Silverado lt crew cab short box z71 5.3l I bought the truck with 64k on it, I got about 30k with minor problems ( power steering line o ring leaking, radio went out, had to clean the throttle body) after that the truck was no longer my pride and joy. I am a diesel mechanic so I maintained the truck routinely at 5k instead of the rediculous 10k that the oil life light would come on. The truck used oil from day one about a quart in-between oil changes. I had a lifter go out which resulted in camshaft damage. After a long weekend of replacing the camshaft and lifters I decided to turn off the afm system which I thought would prevent this from happening again. After that I had random spark plugs cracking the porcelain every so often started at 97k. This proceded for the rest of my time owning the vehicle I never ended up finding the problem. I ended up traded the truck in for a family car for my wife after starting to hear the lifters tap again at 156k. At this point I was just done with the truck. The good things I can say about it was it was a very good looking truck, rode very smooth and quiet in the cab. Very comfortable although I wish it would have had a telescoping steering wheel ( I'm 6' with long legs and short arms) Plenty of power even with 308 gears and 33s although the diablo sport tuner did wake the truck up. towing was good, the most capable bad road condition vehicle I have ever owned. stock sound system was good. All and all I would not recommend this truck to anyone. I have owned a 95 &94 Silverados with good luck but not the nnbs. My work has a 2009 with 310k on it with original motor and drivetrain with the lifters replaced once. My boss has a 2012 GMC with the same motor that's on its second motor at almost 300k so it's a common problem but some people get luckier than others. Sorry this is so long but hey hopefully if you finished reading this I saved you some frustration and money cheers.

My truck says the estimated mileage is 15 city / 21 hwy I drive normal and my mpg highway is 16 mpg and city 12 this has been my worst truck in fuel consumption, you can even see a dirty black tailpipe, dealer says, if it does not show codes it is fine it drives great and I like it except the mpg and no dic switch for a Lt I guess as not to scare us for the estimated mileage it was going to show honestly, if I had known of this poor mpg I would still be buying ford trucks, they always gave about 19 to 23 mpg my wife love it and at the same time hate it because it didn't came with running boards like all my other Fords other than that it is a great truck with poor mpg
