Excellent Choice
Have had truck for 5 months. First truck I have owned but won't be my last as this truck is everything and more than I expected. The ride/comfort is equal to luxury cars I have owned and currently own. The best MPG I have been able to attain is just shy of 20 going 72 MPH for long stretches- but I'm not complaining; I didn't buy the truck for MPG reasons.
Maybe its just bad luck.
Bought a 2011 Crew Cab LT Silverado 3 years ago and have put almost $6000 in repairs already. The truck had only 59000 miles on it and no rust very good looking truck. After 9 months the engine had to be replaced had bad piston rings. Had front wheel bearings replaced and a wire that affected the towing hookup. Just had to put another $500 into it. Still owe $10k on it but think the damn thing is cursed. Only at 80000 miles on it now.

You’ll eventually hear #1 and 7
Have owned this truck for 6 years with no issues until I hit 160,000 miles. Rough idle had me take it to the shop where I learned of the infamous issues the 5.3 has with number 1 and 7 cylinders. Tried everything except a rebuild which is estimated at 3k.

Perfect Truck...I'm Proud to Own It!
This truck exceeds all of my expectations! The best value I could ever expect to get out of vehicle as I can drive it for 5-7 years with the confidence that there will not be any major repair costs and will still have a high resale value when I decide to purchase a new truck! The only improvement I would recommend is to increase the storage in the front, actually add some storage in the back and bring back the A/C vents in the console for the rear passengers, other than that, this truck is PERFECT!

NICE TRUCK!`
I enjoy the ride quality as well as the glances that I get when cruising through town. The exterior design has to be the best out of all the trucks that I compared it to. The interior needs some work, it is plain and boring not enough thought and time has gone into the design and layout. I live 12 miles from the nearest town and I travel daily on the interstate and this appears to be affecting the brakes on my truck significantly! The vehicle is brand new only 3 months old and has about 7000 miles on it and I have had to have the ceramic disk brakes replaced TWICE on it. I will admit that sometimes I tend to have a heavy foot and really push the vehicle but this is not often.
