I bought the truck brand new on April 13th, 2011. I just sold it on April 17th, 2018. I bought two sets of tires, had the brakes done once, and had the transmission serviced once. The truck never gave me any issues.

Purchased primarily as a tow vehicle. Considered all of the full size trucks and decided on Silverado based on incentives and maturity of design. Liked the look of the GMC a little better but got the best deal on the Chevy. No issues in 8 months, everything functions as it should. Surprisingly quiet for a truck. All Star package gave me everything I needed (5.3 V-8 & tow package) at a substantial discount.

Just picked up my 2011 Silverado LT 4x4 Extended Cab Z-71. It's got the 5.3 Vortec engine in it and it is incredible. The truck has more power than I know what to do with, and is incredibly responsive in every way. Steering is tight, brakes are firm and react the way I expect them to, and the suspension is not mushy at all. The interior is comfy, but the dashboard seems kind of cheap to me. I suppose the LTZ is probably a little nicer. I got the All-Star package on mine, so it has the dual zone climate control, and the push-button 4x4 along with several other amenities.

I do love my truck but I have to warn everyone - don't be fooled by fuel economy on the sticker. Tried my best to get high MPG and most I've got so far is 16.1 MPG and this is a brand new 2011 truck. There also was some defect in the paint on the roof but the dealer fixed that right away. I really do love the truck but I hate the fuel economy since I expected more and I need to get a storage box for the bed since there is very little room under the back seat. I have the Allstar and the Z71 packages and wouldn't get the truck without those options. Motor has a lot of power. Truck drives smooth and quiet (with windows closed). I have the 6.6 foot bed but it didn't show up in options.
Best Chevy truck yet!

I typically buy a new truck every 10 years; this 2011 replaced a 2000 Silverado. The new one sits taller, and is a bit bigger overall. It has more power, and feels more capable. First fill-up yielded 15.3 MPG, in a mix of city, highway, and ranch use. The LT truck has a long bed, Z71 package, 5.3 V8, 18" wheels, built-in trailering; in short just about everything I need to haul ranch stuff around. I did add the Ranch Hand replacement front end, lighted headache rack, and new tool box. It's ready to work, and ready to play.

2012 Silverado - the 6 speed auto trans is a no-go ! Shift points are in the middle of right hand turn speed. Its a poor transmission, and jerky. You wont like the 6 speed auto...

Runs great in comfort on hwy or logging roads. Canopy keeps tools or camping gear nice and dry. Mileage is average for this size truck, but is highly dependent on the actual octane of the gas you buy. Have achieved 19 mpg hwy, but normally around 14 mpg. Towing travel trailer drops mpg by about 3 mpg. Blue tooth in this truck is outstanding. It's clear and can be turned up nicely. Sirius satellite radio works well on the hwy, not so well in the back woods.

My 2011 ltz Silverado has less than 50,000 KM. I replaced a front wheel bearing. All of the oem rims leak air. All warning lights will now turn on and all guages will go to zero including the tach and speedometer(a common problem, with no answer) It has a 5.3 that gets 15 MPG. I've been a GM fan for a long time but I think GM stopped making trucks back in the 90's

I’m coming out of a Toyota Tundra and can honestly say that we made the right choice by going with the Chevy! It has so many nice features but it’s the ride that got me hooked! I do a lot of trailering and this truck pulls like a dream!

2011 Chevy with 6.2

have had this truck over a year now. Love it, has 11500 miles on it. I seem to be the only one that does a review on it to have the bigger 6.2 V8 insted of the smaller 5.3 v8.(had two 5.3 before not that great of a motor, no power). Let me tell you it does not get good gas mileage. 13 in city and 16.5 on highway. I knew this when i got it. The ride is great and the BOSE stereo sounds great. have pull 4 ATVs and all the camping stuff that weighed about 8000 lbs. still passed other trucks like they were standing still and still had more power left. 403 HP is all i have to say.
Not fun to drive!

If you want a truck that rides n feels like a Cadillac and tows like a champ(nothing more) buy a silverado. I've had my truck for a year and love it for road trips and towing. Aside from that...yawn. If you want a truck that will JUMP when you hit the gas, get sideways on demand, and still tow when needed buy a Nissan! Sincerely, sad silverado owner
So far so good

I have the 6 speed tranny and have 3000 miles so far with no problems and no noise. I love the truck and received a killer deal on a dealer promo. My only complaint was with the onstar remote access app. I can unlock and lock the doors. But every time I try the remote start it tells me the keys cant be in the truck. The problem is every time ive tried it the keys were NOT in the truck 3 calls to onstar has not solved the problem. Other then that one thing I have never owned a nicer vehicle. Love the all star package and the blue tooth calls are far better then the ones I had before with a 1200 dollar after market head unit. I would like to see spray in bed liners standard. But great truck!!

I especially like the ride height of 20" wheels and 5.3 liter V8 engine. Acceleration from a standstill to merge with freeway traffic is disappointing, however. Styling and blue color are still head turners. Six speed transmission and manual gear selection were a plus.

I recently bought a used 2011 Silverado 1500 4x4. I live on a steep incline drive way to my home. With the 4x4 I can drive up my hill at a snail pace it’s awesome. I bought my truck it had 60,000 miles I’ve got a little over 64,000 now I’ve hauled gravel several times fully loaded bed with ease I’m impressed how well it handled with a load. Only qualm I have is the rust issue I have had. I have to keep on it I’ve treated the frame under carriage. And done some body rust repair. But over all I would recommend this model truck year.
