Bought this truck after trading Avalanche with 175K Miles. Like the 5.3 ltr and new 6 speed auto is a nice upgrade. Truck gets average 17 miles combined and 19 to 20 when doing highway driving. LT with allstar package is a nice combination of upgrades. Really like the ride, solid build and comfortable on long trips.
first new vehicle

I've had many vehicles, but this is the first new vehicle. This one has the chrome package, 20" chrome rims, chrome trim, mirrors, and door handles. I love the looks of it. It now has 4300 miles and am averaging around 17 MPG. The instruments are easy to read, and the controls are easy to reach. The seats are comfortable, the handling is responsive and the ride is pretty smooth. It took a little getting used to the cylinder deactivation as it seemed a little sluggish when accelerating from a stop. However, when you need power, its there. I occasionally pull an 18 foot fiberglass boat and hardly know its behind. All in all a very nice truck, and the rebates made it hard to pass up.

I am sorry to say this truck is a beautiful truck but started falling apart at around 90,000 miles 3 outside door handles broke check engine light started coming on and off both front headlights burnt out lever for both front seat reclining broke off and now I am told I have a bad engine nothing but 1 thing after another worst vehicle I ever owned 2012 Chevy double cab Texas edition all the chrome all the bells and whistles beautiful expensive and not worth a crap I bought it 3 years old with 30000 miles on it ok for about a year or so but everything started falling apart starting with the exterior parts you would think a Chevy PU would go the ex mile but don’t be fooled I have had several people tell me the 5.3 instant eco engine was made to save gas but the oil doesn’t get to the back of the engine and causes the engine to go out. Worst purchase I have ever made.

I love my 2012 Silverado Crew Cab. It’s now 7 years old and has 270,000 miles. Had to rebuild the transmission at 250k but that’s to be expected. I would recommend this pickup to anyone
