Transmission is junk, 2 trucks at same mileage went out due to overheating...Who would put a thermostat in a transmission? There should be a recall on this.. I've always been a Chevy guy but not anymore!
A lot to like after driving for one year

I bought a 2015 Z71 LT crew cab short bed new and have enjoyed it. Interior is the best part of this truck. The cab is very quiet and comfortable. Crew cab has a lot of interior space and multiple USB and charging ports. Even with a short bed, this is a big truck with a 143 in. wheelbase, harder to park in urban areas. The biggest shortcomings to me are the electronics. You have to subscribe to On-star to be able to use the navigation. I just use my phone, but the blue tooth sync between my iphone and the vehicle is clumsy at best. It works, just takes some time. I have the 5.3l engine and six speed transmission. I have not had any shifting or hesitation issue with the vehicle, granted I haven't towed a lot. It does like to accelerate slowly in the 4cyl. mode but if you give it some gas it will still get down the road in a hurry. I have gotten 30 mpg over a 25 mile stretch, but that was on a dead flat country road with the cruise set on 45 mph. Most highway mileage is closer to 22 MPG. Like any truck, your fuel efficiency falls off a cliff if you go much over 60 mph. I have not had any reliability issues or problems after 18,000 miles and 1 year of ownership. There is a seat belt recall that needs to be fixed at the next service interval. Very happy with my purchase.

I don't understand all the negative reviews. I've had my truck for a year and a half and drive it 40-50 miles a day and now have over 40k miles on it. Never had even a minor problem with it. I've hauled trailers loaded up 5,000 pounds, drove from central Texas to New York and Connecticut and back with the wife and kids. It purrs right along in comfort. Mine is an All Star edition with the towing package, LT rwd, 5.3 liter engine. I didn't see a trim listing for that so I said LTZ, which mine would be if it had leather seats I guess. I love the engine and the cylinder deactivation, I get up to 28 mpg on the highway which is very impressive to me, especially for a large truck. The infotainment system is great and easy to use, it actually understands the voice commands! The back-up camera is also one of the best I've seen on any vehicle. Maybe the six cylinder engine has problems? I dunno, I just know the one I have is a winner and the best truck I've ever owned.

Let me first say this. I have owned many of GM, Ford, and Toyota trucks. I believe this 2015 Gm truck will be my last. I absolutely love the way this truck looks. When you climb inside, the interior is very good looking and comfortable. These are about the only pros to this truck. The cons: The transmission will go out, guaranteed. My replacement was $4300. It went out when the truck hit 116k miles. The truck has been babied. GM transmissions used to last till around 170k - 200k miles easily. Even after I had the transmission replaced, the truck lagged and shifted horribly. It just doesn't feel sturdy whatsoever, always hunting around for the right gear it seems like. It will lag and then all the sudden throw up 5k rpms and sound like the trucks going to blow up. The truck is just weak all around. Towing half of the rated capacity really puts a strain on the truck. The AC system will fail costing you another $700 - $1500 dollars. Common issue with these trucks. The factory headlights are awful. Not bright whatsoever, almost dangerous when it is dark and raining. The AFM is so annoying, it's unreal. Don't dare try to install a flow master on these trucks. They sound decent in V8 mode, but once V4 comes on, it sounds like a straight piped Honda Civic. I should not have to purchase an AFM delete kit. AFM just should not even exist. It's harmful to the engine and annoying. I put roughly $6,000 worth of repairs into this truck last year. I was hoping this truck would last me till around 200k miles, but I think it is time to part ways with it. I am currently at 150k miles. I wish that I would have purchased an F-150 with a 5.0 or a Tundra with a 5.7. Buy a Tundra or F-150. You will regret purchasing any 08 model and up GM 1500 truck. They aren't what they used to be.

Lifter failure

Overall I have been somewhat satisfied with the 2015 truck with the 5.3 engine. The lifters ,however, failed at 56,900 miles. The dealer replaced the lifters and my warranty covered it. I've been told since, by other chevy owners, that this has been an ongoing problem from 2007 to now. The lifter failure ,I'm told, is due to oil pressure problems related to the AFM. Regardless of the cause, I do not trust in the reliability of this engine any longer. This should not be happening to any engine at 56,900 miles. How long before it happens again? I'll be getting rid of this POS soon! And I won't be buying another chevy!
