Always ask for dealer diagnostic test copy. In some cases they simply clear codes to sell the vehicle, without fixing anything that caused the code error. I did not even get home with my truck and the engine light came on, took it to my mechanic he tested it and 10 codes had been cleared. So took the truck back and got my money back.

11/29/24 About 70k now, everything below pretty much applies. Truck still runs great, 1 item of concern will be when the lifters crap out due to AFM. 4/27/24 Truck still runs great. 9/24/23 Truck is at 67k, Had a major service completed a while back. Truck still runs great, on my trip from California to Mississippi i averaged about 20 mpg. Truck is great for road trips. Recen/tly replaced the OEM goodforayear tires with Michelin LTX, the vibration is still there. A lot of the reviews talk about the dash cracking, this has finally happened with mine as well. Bought my truck new in 2013. I'm at 50k miles now. Do my own oil changes when the engine oil life monitor is at 0% I've only used Mobile1 full synthetic. My truck has the slight vibration that other talk about in other forums. Its not that bad, but should not be there IMO. Something is out of balance. At 50k, i'm averaging 15.6 MPG. Mostly Highway. Z71 / Four Wheel Drive I was disappointed with the rear drum brakes.. I've already had to change brake shoes. On the bright side there are no ebrake shoes like on my 2002 Silverado that i had to change about every 30-40k miles. Never had to change brake pads on the 2002 and i traded it in with 180k miles. The black paint does seem kinda cheap and tends to scratch / chip very easy. The cloth interior does seem a little subpar for this kind of money at the time. I keep thinking i want to trade it on, but there are so many bad reviews on most of the newer trucks and the newer front ends are ridiculous. Thanks to city people who talk on their phones instead of paying attention to traffic. Last time i went camping i loaded my motorcycle and all my camping gear and the rear suspension became very spongy, even have thought about installing airbags to help when loaded. I'll update as i roll more miles on.

Do not buy a Chevy 2013 Silverado. My truck has oil consumption problems. GM never issued a recall even though they were aware of the problem. I have 5 Chevy truck in my fleet. There will be no more purchased by my company.

Spare Tire

Please be aware that when buying the Silverado Truck that the spare tire is only 17 inch. So if you buy a truck with 20 inches tires the spare is still only 17. The dealer will tell you that it is a full spare but it is not the same size as what is on the truck. Even the trucks with 18 inch tires come with a 17 inch spare.

Having the 2013 model, the rear doors can only be opened after the front doors are open. Only thing that went bad so far is the oil pressure gauge stopped working. Dealer worked with Chevrolet and got a great repair price for me.

I LOVE MY TRUCK

I LOVE LOVE MY TRUCK... It's BIG.. Keep that in mind... Parking becomes a "task".. but that being said... I love my truck. Nice and roomy front and back. Rear seats fold up so you can carry big items in the cab of the truck. I put dual exhaust on my truck so I get about 20 miles per gallon. Everyone comments on it... I had to put running boards to help me get into the cab easier... (I'm 5 ft. 4 inch)... Trucks, where I live have great re-sale... so that being IF I keep it in great shape, I probably can sell it in a couple year for the same price I paid... THAT'S nice... The ONLY negative I can say is I have the LT model, not the LTZ, but for a 2013 model it REALLY lacks technology things that should be standard in today's age... Like blue tooth, back up camera, etc... That being said.. I LOVE MY TRUCK

I recently wrecked my 2013 Silverado. My grandchildren were in the truck with me. The safety features worked like they are supposed to. We are all safe, no injuries.
