Getting a vibration a freeway speeds. Don't think it's a balance problem as it comes and goes. I have not noticed it when driving up the mountain roads with cruse set at 75 mph, but it really starts to vibrate when going down hill or on the flat when the engine goes into the V-4 mode? I have read many complaints from others having the same problem. Has anyone considered it could be the fuel management system causing this problem? If it was a tire issue or drive shaft problem it would vibrate all the time at highway speeds. Mine only does it when it's in the V-4 mode? Anyone else notice this problem only vibrates in the V-4 mode?
Engine failure at 77,000 miles

This is a High Country Truck. I loved my truck, some minor issues until now. My engine went out 3 weeks ago. I had to get it towed to a GM dealer to look at. The first place I went to was a local repair shop and he called me to tell me that the engine failed so we had to bring to GM dealership to have it fixed under warranty. He suggested a new engine! At 77,000 miles this should not happen. I change my oil every 5,000 miles, but because I do not always go to a Chevy dealer to have my oil changed they keep questioning me about it. Well the dealers take 2 hours to get an oil change done and many times I do not have that much time to wait for an oil change. So after 5 days sitting at the dealership, they had the engine guy that deals with the top of the engine look at it. He could not find anything, so then I had to wait another week to have the bottom engine guy to look at it. Turns out that my lifters went bad. So they replaced the lifter that was causing Cylinder 7 to misfire. They have a bulletin on this issue, but no recall. Really if you have a bulletin there are enough people having this issue. I happen to work with someone who has the same exact truck and the same thing happened to them. They replaced the left side active fuel lifters and the valve oil lifter along with the manifold, and gaskets. I have asked for an extended warranty on the engine because of this and GM will not do it. So that tells me that they do not have enough faith in their engines to warranty it in case this happens again. The manager this morning had the audacity to tell me that I do not change my oil enough because they only had so many done at the dealership. That not changing the oil enough causes this. This was my 3rd Chevy truck and probably my last due to their inability to give me confidence in their product. So now I am so worried that it will happen after warranty and I will have a huge repair bill.

I would stay away from this model until Chevy fixes serious defect in build quality. I bought my truck about a month ago. On test drive before signing paperwork I mentioned to the salesperson a loud humm at speeds over 30 mph. We thought it was tires breaking in. Well, after a month of aggrevating noise, took it back to dealer. Service states something in rear was over torqued and bearings need replacing. At 1900 miles!!!! So now, my truck has been in dealer shop for a week because Chevy claims part is on "back order"!!!! This is a new truck! Meanwhile I've got work that I can't get done. If Chevy is reading this my case number is 711251316207

I got a new 2014 silverado work truck whit 15 miles on it at first it was excellent, at about 200 miles the truck started to have a bad idle not smooth anymore and when its cold it can be felt more changed fuel types higher octane of 91 and tried E85 and no change. i already tuck it to the dealer 2 times at 2 different ones and they say the same thing,they say "it has no codes is working ok, it could be how the truck works after brake in and we have no updates or recalls for rough idle, we don't feel anything" they would feel it if it their truck and its a warranty issue. I been searching and looks like I'm not the only one whit that problem whit a GM truck

Only 17k miles on this truck after 2 years of ownership. At this point I'm even hearing from service people that this year 2014 Double Cabs are trouble. The paint job is the cheapest I've ever seen and started chipping the first week. The dash came loose and had to be "tightened". Now I have a horrible smell coming from the HVAC vents. TURN RADIUS is awful. Didn't realize how bad until I rented a truck (happened to be Ram - same class as my truck size) and it was like night and day. No problem turning, u-turning, parking, etc in the Ram. Hate all those things in my Chevy. (I'm a repeat Chevy owner and never had such low quality) I'm actually worried about the value of my vehicle down the road when all the problems become public knowledge and it's branded a bad year to buy. The responsiveness is like driving a 50's or 60's vehicle instead of 2014. Sluggish. In addition, Chevy has moved to a new fabric for their interiors. As a result the interior is not nearly as comfortable as older models. They say the new fabric is easier to clean. Well I have found the opposite to be true. Having a dog that I like to take with me, has been a nightmare. The fabric attracts the hair and actually gets stuck in the weave of the material. I have to take a rubber brush as hard as I can to "comb" the hair out of the seat material, while I have a vacuum in the other hand to try and grab the hair as soon as it's even partially free from the material. Previous seat fabrics were never a problem to clean and vacuum hair. Service reps actually had the nerve to tell me I just needed to change the setting on my AC/Heat to exterior air before turning off and getting out of the vehicle. That somehow the way I use my HVAC is causing the problem! Every concern I have bought up to service is dismissed immediately as something I must be doing wrong. And that was from the Service department manager! In addition when the dealer "fixed" the dash, they managed to put a dent in the door of my truck. While it's now scheduled to be fixed and they took ownership, seems to me maybe they need to look within for who is doing something wrong as relates to these trucks. I have 2 positives for this truck: 1. The stay in place floor mats. 2. The 4-door double cab as an in-between to the crew cab. I have now contact Chevrolet corporate. So far I'm being put off in a noncommittal let's get dealer to address issues… Really? Don't really think a dealer can fix an inferior product with design flaws.

The only problem I've had with my truck is the oil pump going out at 68,000 miles. Drove it on in to the dealership as instructed, they repaired it under warranty, and haven't had another problem with it. Nothing, not one item. I bought my 2010 LT Z71 with the same engine and never had a problem with it, either. I think perhaps some of the problems people have had with the fuel management system is their driving style. I run my truck hard, and generally work it hard. I usually trade my truck in at 100k, but I decided to keep this one a little longer. I've told many people it's the best truck I've ever owned, including a flawless Tundra. The LTZ package has everything you could ever want, and the truck has an amazing ride, even with 38 psi in the front tires and 35 in the rear. My best recorded 25 miles for mpg was 34. Changed the battery out and it reset my previous high to zero, so my latest high was 27. Keep in mind this is drafting 18wheelers and letting off the gas while going down hills, no cruise, and keeping the speed at 55. So, when I figure out just how high I can get the mpg, I start the running it hard again. I found that highway tires help the mpg a lot. The mud and snow tires I have on it now are marginal on mpg. The All Terrain tires were ok but not as good as the mud and snow tires. I take the truck to the hunting camp and it's barely functional on the deep holes because of the low front end, so I wish I'd bought an LTZ Z71 package, but they're hard to find and they have a lesser discount in our market. As for the V8 to V4 fuel management shift, it takes some getting used to. At first I didn't really know what was going on, but figured it out with time. It downshifts a little rough on occasion, a slight clunk, but no big deal, yet. Service: I've taken it to the dealer every time the oil has been changed, and things have been great there with them. Will I buy another one ? I'm not real sure at this point. Having a fairly deep loyalty to Chevy, my experience with Toyota has been acceptable, and the resale value is higher, but I drive 100 miles round trip to work every day, so the mpg factor comes into play. You just can't beat the 327 c.i. 5.3 liter setup on this truck with any other V8. It tows my tractor great, and has done pretty much everything I need it to do. And, it's made by an American company. Update. Sold this truck after owning if for four years, after 137,000 miles and the one broken item, oil pump, got $23,000 for it. 7/15/18.

Love my 2014 Silverado 1500 LTZ 4X4 6.2L truck. No problems yet! Great power, gas mileage, design and interior/exterior quality. Purchased most upgrades, Heated Seats & Steering Wheel, Navigation, Bose, 20" wheels and motor upgrade. Couldn't be happier with my decision!

This was my first brand new vehicle and I was excited for it. I have been wanting a brand new Silverado for a while so I went down to the dealership and test drove one. I loved it right off, it had all the features I wanted and then some. The truck rode smooth and quiet so I pulled the trigger and traded in my 05 sierra. All was great until I hit about 10,000 miles... Ride: All of sudden the ride became rough and everything in the interior began rattling. Running over an asphalt repair strip was felt and the littlest of bumps in the road felt like I ran over a huge pothole. Driving around town which used to be a comfortable and pleasant experience has turned into feeling like I am being launched out of my seat when I hit a bump or go over a small dip in the road. Technology: My only complaint is the bluetooth quality when making calls. People on the other end have a hardtime hearing and understanding me. My wife's car (2014 Malibu LTZ) does not have that issue. Engine: My truck has the 4.3L V6. I was a little hesistant at first, but after test driving it I was impressed with the power. It felt more peppy than my last truck which was a 2005 GMC Sierra with the 5.3L V8. The test drive route we took was primarily flat so the lack of power had gone unnoticed. As I started driving the truck around my town, which is primarily hilly, I noticed the truck struggled going up hills. I have to floor it just to get it to maintain speed. As far as passing on the interstate goes, I have to make sure I get a "running" start. Our speed limits on the interstate are 75 so trying to pass a semi going 65 takes longer than it should as the truck lacks torque at those speeds. Going from 65 to 75 when flooring it takes nearly 10 seconds anf if there is a slight incline the truck does not accelerate. One of the details about the engine that did intrigue me was the fuel mileage. The sitcker on the window showed 18 city 24 highway. After having my 05 that was averaging the low teens on a good day, this sounded good to me. However, with the lack of performance I average 14 city and 18 highway. I do not drive with a lead foot however, with today's technology and advancements in engine performance I should not be out acclerated by some hippy in a prius. Overall: I have been a huge GM guy for a long time and so has my family. My dad bought a new truck at the same time I bought my silverado, except he decided on a 2014 F150 and paid about the same as I did for my new silverado. After being a diehard Chevy guy for years, my dad has officially declared himself a Ford man now. We both have about 30,000 miles on our trucks and his still runs and rides just as nice as it did when he first got it. Needless to say, I am done with GM... I can't wait to trade this thing for something with adequate power and torque that rides comfortably.

Purchased new, less then 30,000 miles, garage kept, waxed way to much, outside and under the hood, inside the doors, 13 recalls. This is getting to be more trouble than it's worth. In the dealer right now for recall and the smell of antifreeze.

Overall I like the truck, but it certainly is not that much better than the 09, or 11 I had. Oddly enough this truck has an awful vibration at 55mph plus or sometimes 45mph if going into the wind. Oddly enough, I believe the vibration is due to the hood flexing. When driving you can see a slight flex in the hood that as best as I can tell corresponds to the vibration throughout the truck. I am curious if others have had the same issue.

I traded a '12 for a '14. The '12 was a good truck overall except the interior looked horrible after only 33,000 miles. No kids, and often me traveling by myself. It had rattles in the dash, and the seats looked terrible. I thought the 2014 would be an awesome truck. Well, it's marginal.... With 450 miles I'm already scared I made a bad move. It has a bad shake at 75 mph..feels like the back end is going to fall out. Now about the radio. It sucks!!! The FM reception is horrible at best. The XM sounds like listening to music over a slow internet connection. Besides that it's fine..so far.

Within last month when i go to slow down it makes a clunking noises underneath. Sounds like the driveshaft or u joint is clunking. Took to dealer they had it 4 days and told me it was fine. They said everything is normal. It also has rattling noises in cab. So a truck that i bought new with 11,000 miles on it today making clunking noises is normal. Well that sucks. The dealer is of no help they say GM says its normal too.

The new 2014 Silverado 5.3 v8 is not all its cracked up to be. I went from a 2012 5.7 Hemi Ram express to the new 2014 Silverado. Even with the increase in horsepower in the 2014, it lacks totally what I had in the Ram. To add to that I averaged 21mpg in the Ram, and I am lucky to get 16 in the new Silverado. Very disappointed.

3 years in and it's been my most favorite truck yet. It's well designed inside and out. GM really stepped up their game when it comes to the way the truck is put together. Comes with a bigger, tougher axle than my previous 2011 F-150. Great shifting transmission. Handles heavy loads with ease. I've gone over the payload rating by hundreds of pounds and it sat level, handled fine. The ride isn't as smooth as the Ram 1500 but I prefer a leafspring design as they tend to handle hauling and towing duties better. The new 5.3 lives up to the hype when it comes to reliability. GM appears to taken care of the oil consumption that the 5.3 was known for 5 or 6 years ago - zero oil consumption between oil changes. I disabled cylinder deactivation since new as recommended by most GM guys and my fuel economy wasn't affected. The interior is decent for an LT. Simple controls like a truck should have and it's amazingly quiet, especially compared to a 2016 F-150 I recently test drove that had a lot of wind noise. On to the cons: When temps dip below zero I get a rattle from the plastic piece on the dash near the window. Did a little research and it looks like a easy 5 minute fix. There's also the frame rust issue. It's a wax dipped frame, which is how every truck manufacturer used to treat their frame. I spray my frame every winter with fluid film and have zero rust despite long salty winters in the rust belt. I wish GM would paint the frames. In their defense, my 2011 F150's e-coated frame developed a lot of rust by the time I traded it in for this Chevy. The 07 Tundra I owned before the Ford had a nice painted frame and still developed very aggressive, flaky rust despite washing the salt off regularly. That's how I learned to fluid film my frames. It's been effective in keep things rust free. I've had to make 2 dealer visits so far, both times it was for recalls. I'm fine with that, as I would rather own a vehicle made by a company that actively fixes defects. I'm more concerned by companies that refuse to issue recalls (Ford).

Where do I begin? I bought my 2014 Silverado Z71 brand new from Cavender. Paid about 42K. Started off ok. Then I had to take it back to the dealer for recall after recall after recall. Something like 12. I lost count. I did all my service at Gunn. When my truck was under warranty I was treated pretty well by the service dept. Unless you count the time they 'Couldn't duplicate' a squeaking bed or the exhaust that made a chirping noise when switching from 4 to 8 cylinders (and they told me, after replacing the entire exhaust system, that it would probably happen again and there was nothing they would do if it did). Oh but once my warranty was out, most service staff I dealt with treated me worse. Noticably. For instance, after 3 years 8 months and only 33K miles on my truck (mind you this was a couple months ago. The truck was very well taken care of) my a/c started only blowing hot air. In the middle of the summer. After looking online and seeing that THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THAT MODEL, I naturally took it back to Gunn for help. They said it could be the condenser or a hose. But, in order to FIND the problem, they had to run a dye through the system and charge the system. Which cost me $250. Again, this is a known issue for Chevy. The manager tells me that the condenser needs to be replaced. How much would that cost? $1300 more!!! I lost it. So I left. I don't have that kind of money to spend on a basically BRAND NEW TRUCK. Right after that, another recall. Turns out the steering wheel might lock up while I'm driving... So that was the nail in the coffin. My dad has the same truck but 2wd. My uncle, brother, and cousin all drive Chevy's. I defended Chevy when friends would make fun of all the issues. Not anymore. I gave you guys way more chances to make things right than I should have. So, in conclusion, I got rid of that piece of sh*t and put my hard earned money into a 2017 Ram. Good riddance, Chevy.

When I first purchased my truck, everything was doing well until the recall! I sent my truck for all the repairs and even the steering loss. In May of this year I started having problems with the A/C which the cold air won’t come out and bought a anti-freeze bottle to reboot that cold air. Then after having the steering loss repair it started having problems turning on my truck!!! First it came out with low battery and then StabiliTrak. So every time I turn on it has trouble to turn on. I called the dealership and they were like all your recalls are close and they cannot do nothing. They only thing they can do is to do a diagnostic test and see what is wrong with the truck. This is their fault for not the owners! We have a 1997 Chevy suburban that this works plus the A\C works on cold and heat!!! Plus we have another truck Tahoe 2010 still works with no damn issues!!

I've avoided GM products for many years due to the quality of design and workmanship. I was pleasantly surprised when I first drove this truck in '14 & and I still a fan today - would definitely buy it again. Highs - very good mileage for a 7000lb vehicle, very quiet interior, driver interface is very good once you're familiar with it, no problems/repairs other than recalls below, numerous power outlets & usb ports, towing set-up is a breeze, tailgate & bed step features are great. Lows - navigation is ancient tech - use your cell, satellite radio has spotty reception, 3 recalls for minor stuff (seat belt/software upgrade/ trailer hitch), turn radius is poor, throttle response is not linear - slow off the line - suspect this by intent to help gas mileage & reduce wheel spin in 2 wheel drive mode - but okay once you get used to it, dealer maintenance experience (gengris chevy) has been poor - they just don't give a damn about you as a customer.

Love the truck hate the ride. I have had this truck for 3 weeks and it has been back to the dealer 4 times. After the last time the tech road with me and told me what the issue was right from the start and said I needed to call GM. I did and have not heard from dealer yet. If issue does not get fixed Lemon law will be issued. Truck came with 18inc wheels and good year tires. The tech says if GM puts 20inc wheels and some better tires on the ride should be better. After paying 40k for new truck it should ride good enough to take on long trips with the family. They took tuck back under lemon law back 5/15/15

Got my new truck 2 weeks ago. I don't drive my personal vehicles very much and now I am a retired Deputy Sheriff with disabilities. I sold my 2004 Chevy 2500HD-LT-SWB-Extended Cab 4X4 with the 6-1/2 foot bed with the Duramax/Allison in February 2013. It only had 28,000 miles on it with almost 9 years of ownership. I like most things about my new pickup, except the Active Fuel Management system and poor fuel economy. It only has about 250 miles on it now. I used a SuperChips programmer on a 2006 Dodge Charger I was assigned to add power and deactivated the AFM system. The car ran better and got better MPG's, so I ordered one for my new Chevy truck. We will see how it works on the pickup.
The 2014 Chevy 1500 LTZ is a very HOT truck

With barely 40,000 miles on my 2014 Chevy Silverado LTZ the AC no longer works, and there are no replacement parts available ....period! Are you kidding you're General Motors and you can't fix your own trucks ? Thats right no parts at least that what their dealer told us. I know no one will believe this but sadly its true. Do you think maybe they ran out of AC parts because there's a widespread AC problem but they would rather not have a recall and they would rather not stand behind their product. So it's going to be a HOT HOT SUMMER !!! Now about that transmission, It's got to be the worst shifting automatic I've ever experienced in 50 years of driving. Especially in traffic, this transmission is a nightmare, it stumbles when it should accelerate and it downshifts with such force that it produces a very loud bang and jolt ( like someone just ran into you) and that violent a downshift just can't be good for it even though the Chevy tech said it's "not a problem". I'm not even going to get into the unfathomable displays and quirky software, navigation etc your better off just using your smart phone, that is if the bluetooth system in the truck is functioning. You know what, American car manufacturers have been building some really dependable cars and trucks for quite sometime now, but this truck, as pretty and comfy as it is, reminds me of the crap Detroit was selling us back in the 70's. Sorry but time for this consumer to move on. Chevy you failed this one and i don't think you'll get another chance with me.

I purchased my 2014 1500 Lt NEW from a great Dealer. And the dealer is the only reason I still have it. Chevrolet dropped the ball on this one- WHAT JUNK. I am considering going back to FORD or (hate to say it out loud) a Toyota. This truck started with a bad paint job (silver) flaking off from the cab and the bed on both sides.. Then oil cooling lines, radio replaced, Radiator leak/replaced and then Air conditioning condenser replaced. The starter and battery went out within 4yrs. These did not include recalls. The dealer covered what they could and the other stuff, that Chevrolet is aware are problems, were not covered (air conditioning condenser). Chevrolet pretty much told me to bad/sucks to be you. The truck has had the transmission rebuilt once and now there are electrical issues. The truck has 137,000 miles now. Its mostly a daily driver and only pulls a 12 or 16ft trailer 8 to 10 times a year. The quality of this Chevrolet Silverado is a Joke. Sooooo disappointed in Chevrolet- My last 03 Silverado had 260,000 miles on it when I traded it in and was a great Truck.

I bought my 2014 Silverado new almost 8 years ago. Besides the recalls and an a/c problem (which I got fixed) I have had no problems what so ever with it. It is an extremely comfortable truck to drive or be a passenger in. It just hit 100,000 miles and I still haven’t had any problems. As long as I don’t “abuse” it (which I don’t) I should get an easy 200,000 more miles out it. I love it! PS, The options on here are not giving me an 8 cyl on the LT model. I have a 2014 Silverado double cab with an 8 cyl.

I bought the 2014 silverado v6 super cab brand new back in January for the unheard of price of $26,000. It wasnt probably last on my list of desirable trucks since I thought it was ugly. BUT, I learned to love it. Due to the recent truck shortage, I traded it in (7/21) with 59,000 miles for the also unheard of amount 9f $24,500. It cost me $1,500 to have this truck 6.5 years and 60k miles. If it wasnt for the trade in amount, I would have kept it. Issues I had: fan blower motor went within the first month. Unacceptable for something like that to happen, butI had the factory warranty, so had the dealer replace. 4x4 stopped at around 18,000 miles. Turned out to be the sensor or computer processing unit (still under warranty). At about 50,000 miles, the radiator fan wouldnt turn off. Out of warranty at this point so I had my mechanic fix it. I believe it was a relay and was only about $120. All in all, thats it. All issues still allowed the vehicle to be driven. Id call that a dependable truck considering 2014 was a new model truck. Some hiccups, but nothing major. I went v6 not by choice, but because it was a left over on the dealer lot at an amazing price. I averaged around 20 mpg's which is incredible for a truck this size (my 5.4 f150 got about 12-14). If you are worried about the power of the v6, dont be. Its not like old 6's. Its close to 300 hp/torque, and I towed my 3000 lb camper, but hills could be a challenge. The interior was my favorite part. It has more features than my wifes 2017 Traverse LT. The stereo is decent (waaaay better than my 2012 mustang), but I also changed that to a 7 speaker kicker system. In closing, great truck. 60,000 mostly trouble free miles. I would have easily kept it if not for the insane trade in.

I have had my new 2014 Silverado for a few months now. Here is the build configuration: LT Double Cab 4x4 5.3L V-8 All-Star Package Bed Liner 33,000 out the door (after tax) Disclaimer, I have driven similar versions of Ram and Fords 2014 trucks. I have actually always owed Fords up until this point of my life. This truck just does everything perfect. When I test drove the Ram and Ford, the Silverado just seemed like everything was put together in a way that made it feel like the entire truck is made out of one piece, aka, German sedan like.
so far so good

I have a 2014 2WT Double Cab 4x4 truck with the 4.3 engine. I'm very pleased with the vehicle. The 2WT package is a great value in my opinion. The truck is very comfortable & surprisingly good on gas. The bluetooth with phone is a but quirky but once I figured out the the system, it works ok. Took it on a 500 mile trip & was a very comfortable ride. For what I paid, I'm happy with my purchase

For the most part I love my truck. The ride is excellent, smooth and makes you watch the speed, that's how good the ride is. The 5.3 is not bad, other than that you have to watch your oil level. Was told it's normal to burn a quart in a 1000 miles after a change, ridiculous. The transmission (6l80) is garbage, and GM knows, research the issues and there's a class action lawsuit on the 8 speed transmission. Should be one on the 6l80 too. You will need to upgrade the headlights and fog lights to LED bulbs. I'm a die heart Chevrolet guy, never owned anything else

I purchased my 2014 Silverado and have the vibration everyone is talking about and I had this truck dealer serviced figuring it would last for quite a few years but after tons of recalls later I found out it to be a money pit. I have 12300 miles on the truck and let me remind you that I went by GM recommended service from day one so, it hit 123000 miles and wound uo having a stuck lifter and the a/c went out pretty much at the same time and cost me over 5000.00 to repair it and still having issues with the truck lagging. Giant disappointment and will take the loss and get rid of it to buy a non GM truck. I have had GM trucks for the last 30 years and from what I learned they are not as they used to be and for the money spent on one I think a person should get many many more miles out of them before costly repairs.
IT'S BEEN A GREAT TRUCK

The RECALLS! They are debilitating, meaning your truck shuts down in the middle of traffic! Just happened AGAIN today and the "recall" has been closed even though it has the exact same symptoms. They said the recall part only covered for 2-3 years?! Seriously? AVOID THIS TRUCK!

If you want to have difficulty steering the vehicle at slow speeds because of the electric power steering. If you would like to have the brakes go out and almost driving to the side of golf galaxy. If you want to come back from skiing in the mountains and have the vehicle gets stuck in four-wheel-drive. If you enjoy changing 9 quarts of oil then you should definitely buy this vehicle.

Been driving my 2014 Double Cab LTZ 4x4 now for about 3 months and 4000 miles. Purchased it from a local private seller who bought it new. You could tell this 71 year old man loved his truck, called it his baby. He had a glove box full of service records (truck has 95k miles) and it was babied its whole life. Used truck prices are through the roof right now and I was so fortunate to find such a nice example for KBB Private Party. Dealerships are asking crazy money right now. Mine has every option except sunroof which I don't really use anyway. I love having ventilated seats. After getting into a hot cab they're great and I'm sure the heated steering wheel will be nice during our mild winters. Never had these options before. I love the way the truck drives. It's quieter and smoother than 95% of all the vehicles I've owned and that say's a lot especially since its a pickup truck. Steering is quick and power from the 5.3 V8 is adequate. I've read the transmissions are prone to fail in these. Luckily mine had the fluid changed by the previous owner and he never towed so maybe this one will be trouble free. Mine did have the infamous AC evaporator failure/replacement at 40k miles by the dealer and seems to be working fine since. My heated seats don't work and I've read this was an issue on the 2014 model. I never used heated seats in previous vehicles (we live in the south) but I sure do like the ventilated seats, such a nice addition on those warm days. I feel pretty good about this truck and like it so much it has become my daily, even with higher gas prices.

I have a 14 LT Z71 with the 5.3l V8 and 6 speed 6l80e Transmission that I purchased in 2018 trading in my 2014 F150 King Ranch. Problem #1 two weeks after driving it off the lot the torque converter failed and along with it went my pump and 1 through 4 clutch packs, and bell housing at 90k miles. It was a week long headache with GM for warranty repair but it was finally covered. #2 I did not notice it at first but after a couple of highway trips the truck shakes at 70-80mph and has for the 3 years I have owned it. #3 stabilitrak and anti theft would go crazy and not let the vehicle start, or throw codes. Dealership said they had no idea what caused it. I finally removed the dash and found that the ground wires for the stabilitrak and security system had been tightened into the anti static matting. I corrected my self and have had zero issues since in 3 years. #4 water would leak through the top and into the cab from the xm antenna. GM fixed it under warranty. Overall the truck is decent, I have done alot of repairs and made it mostly enjoyable but It will be my last GM product.

Power steering quit working,and doesn't work right causing stabilitrac to randomly kick in which causes you to be pulled to one side,wheel bearings constantly go out,now after truck sets for more than 2 hours the battery will be completely dead when I go to start it and the list goes on

I searched for almost an entire year to find this Silverado 1500 rally edition. They were being advertised heavily on television, but were simply not available at dealerships really found one and I put a deposit down over the phone as I couldn’t make it to the dealership for a few days. When I got there? It was my dream truck! Quadruple black on black everything. it had been sitting there for over a year, as a brand new truck, waiting for me to find it and buy it! I could not have been happier. It was an LT trim level model with all of the goodies and extras. I hear some people have had trouble with this generation of Chevrolet Silverado pick up truck. But if you wait a couple of seconds after starting the vehicle before putting it in gear and then you give it another second for the transmission to engage? This truck is bulletproof it will never fail you. It will never slip, and it will never need those lawsuits people filed. 89 years later I still own this truck and it has been absolutely flawless. Giving me zero issues. I’m at close to 40,000 miles now, definitely lower than average miles but I have hauled over 10,000 pounds up a steep grade with my air conditioning on full blast, and this truck didn’t even blink. The temperature gauge stayed rocksolid at regular running temperature. I always take my truck, on time to the local dealership for its authorized service and maintenance. I recommend you do the same. I expect you’ll have the same experience I’ve had. Chevrolet Silverado, 1500 LT. Like a rock!
Big Tex is rolling on.
