Overall, I'm mostly satisfied with my new Silverado. It's my third one. My 2010 had one item I see as a design flaw, the buttons on the AC/Heater are very small and you have to really look at what you are doing to operate it while driving.

Real Review: Buying new in 2011 and Now in 2021

I leased a 2011 1500 Ex-Cab 4wd 4.8l 4 WD new in 2011. In 2021 I purchased a 2010 1500 Crew-Cab 4wd 4.8l 4wd. Things I noticed within the first 30k miles: towing capacity is only 5000lbs. Towing a mid size camper is almost at maximum. Did ok towing a small landscape trailer, but certainly not like you were not towing anything at all. Performance is really poor due to the acceleration response delay the pedal communicates to the computer. Power is fair at best partially caused by the aforementioned issue, but also due to the Flex Fuel design. This design actually stops engine cylinders from firing. The design is intended to conserve fuel, but the drag it places on the motor for essentially turning unfired cylinders creates less power and I would logically suspect more fuel consumption. They sell many aftermarket items to repair these issues, but you would be tampering with the factory computers sequential powering system. After returning the vehicle after lease I purchases a 2010 with 82,000 miles. Both vehicles performed exactly alike. But, since owning the 2010, the small nuisance problems began. The driver's seat Cushion flattened out so bad that the material was no longer tight and I had add foam or replace the bottom of the seat. I choose the foam option due to price difference but also material match. Now the seat raises me back up, but the seat is very firm. The previous owner and myself weigh about 200 lbs. Heater/AC system began to malfunction. AC would blink: Stuck on defrost: Loss of control of temperature adjustment. Emission system began to show various engine codes that required; Evap purge valve to be replaced; gas cap replacement; fuel filler tube replacement. While none of these item were extremely expensive the constant nuisances were frustrating. The reason for 2 stars is because up until this mileage the power train has been fairly reliable. Engine seems to still have the same amount of power which is a major plus due to it's poor performance when new. The transmission still shifts smoothly. The front end linkage is still fairly tight and provides a comfortable ride. But after 2005 the reliability of all vehicles dramatically improved. To sum the review up; great truck for a person needing a small SUV and pickup bed. But would not recommend as for a person needing something of full size truck performance.

Ok looked around at the 1500 Silverado all had 5.3 liters which are great. Then I looked online at a dealership a few miles away from my house and they had a 2010 1500 Silverado with a 6.2 liter engine at I think 403 hp rear view camera, and remote start, manual shift for towing up step grades, trailer brake control system, power back window, back up sensors and much more. I got this truck for the price of the regular 1500 lt price. Its made like an ltz but with a killer deal I love it baby.

This truck meets a happy medium. We needed a truck to tow our camper but I still wanted to travel in comfort. This is that and more. I love the USB port for my Ipod. We got leather seats since we are using it mainly to camp, go to races and baseball games. I love the dual control A/C. My husband always freezes me. This solves that problem. I love the DIC. I love watching the fuel management kick in to V4. I know I'm saving money. We have about 500 miles on it so far. The fuel mileage started out low but since it has started to get broken in, I got 20.5 on my way to work. That is right on target with what it states it will get. Very comfortable ride/drive. Had to get step boards to climb in.
