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.

Bought this truck brand new with 5 miles on it from the dealership. Fuel mileage was never as promised, towing and pulling was poor from the start, ride comfort was very good interior is roomy. I have been a Chevrolet customer my entire life , however after my issues with the engine in this truck I will never ever buy another Chevrolet. Truck had 70k miles on it last year, engine oils changed regular, no hard towing was ever done and a lifted goes out in the motor, less than 4 months out of warranty and 30k miles under the warranty and Chevrolet refuses to do anything. 1600$ repair bill later, problem fixed, less than 7k miles later and a lifter on the other side goes out. I AM DONE WITH CHEVROLET! Switching back and forth from 4cyl to 8cyl is horrible, this should be a factory recall issue as I’m far from the only one this is happening to. If I could zero star this vehicle I would.

Bought my 2012 in early 2013 with 5 miles on it. At first I thought it was going to be more truck than I needed as I was mainly looking for a way to get a family of four around with all of our stuff. Salesman gave me a great deal since it was last years model. I have drove 22k miles already. No issues. I get on average 18 MPG. I drive a county road to work for about 35 miles each way up and down hills and around a few bends. Fun to drive. Tires are still good, brakes are fine, no noises. Only after market purchase was a tonneau cover to keep the hockey gear dry and a set of nerf bars so the kids could climb in easier. I plan on having this truck for years
P.O.S.

Never thought a 2012 silverado would be such a down grade from my 2006 ram. both half ton 4x4 4 door, but the silverado rides worse, doesnt respond to throttle input as smooth as the dodge and is a gutless wonder. regretting my purchase i pray a tornado comes and throws this truck as i cant myself.
