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 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

i bought a 2012 chevy Z-71 ex cab pick up 2 years ago now. this is the first vehicle i have even been able to buy new. when i drove it off the lot it had 3 miles on it and i was very happy. one of the big selling points was the sticker said it got 21 MPG hwy. the sales man said it got 21MPG. i feel they lied to me. this truck has a 5.3 engine. the truck i had before was a 1995 GMC ext. cab 2x4 long bed with a 350 throattle body injection engine. when that 350 hit 180,000 miles the engine had problems. so i totaly rebuilt that engine and everything was new. that truck even after the rebuild got 15 MPG. so i bought this new one thinking it would be better. but it only get 16 MPG at the best
Expected more from Chevy flagship pickup

I have been a Bowie fan for sometime.Resently purchased a 2012 LTZ. Overall pleased with the truck other than the compleat lack of thought and enginering put into the interior.Too many small items are lacking that one would expect in a $46,000 vehicle.The center console is just 1 big box no pen holders,coin holders,tissue nothing my 2001 gmc had all these,my 2006 malibue has all these( hardly a top of the lineup for gm), No underwood light(although the bracket is there). the Eagle LS2 tires r pretty much a lowend tire for Goodyear.Even my owners Manuel and paperwork was given in pretty much a sandwich bag.Overall I like the truck, but GM needs to stop pinching pennies on a top tier truck.

If you are buying this Silverado w/leather seating, be sure to add heated seats. Had vehicle 3 years now and no unusual repairs other than maintenance.

This is the first time i have ever disliked a Chevy. This truck has no pulling power it strains pulling a empty trailer. It has a hard time pulling a hill with no trailer. It only gets around 14mpg on the rd and about 11 in the city. It want even spin tires on dirt. there is slack in the driveline that you can hear and feel. I bought this truck brand new i was told the mileage and the power would get better, well it has 26k on it and nothing has changed. The next truck i get will def be a Ford. I have never owned or wanted one until now.
Great Truck

very hard to park truck has a recall on the air bags they have had problems with the air bags since 2014 just got the recall notice notice in Feb of this year / still no fix for it its the TAKATA air bag no fix GM says in the letter may result in serious "injury or death" they say front seat passenger strange that's right next to the driver the gm sealers that i have called are VERY RUDE " if i don't like the truck trade it in or live with it also the key switch gets stuck in the start position I feel that GM paid off the national highway safety administration i also feel that GM should buy all vehicles for the full price that people had paid for them at the time they where new GM and the national highway safety administration will not return my calls and will not respond to my e-mails

It's a 2012 we bought used in 2012. Had about 5000 miles when we got it. It still looks and runs great. Has a little rust starting over the rear wheel wells, but nothing major. It has 57,500 miles on it. I've had no issues with it whatsoever. The model description below is not accurate. My truck is an extended cab (LT) 6.5 ft bed with a 5.3L v8. It's 2wd with a 3.43 rear end. This combination gets about 24.5mpg on the highway @ 70mph. Gas mileage "around town"? Don't ask.
