Just bought the truck

The front passenger seat is unconfortable as the back is flat and it puts your legs to sleep the way it was made. I have my husband stop after 100 miles or so, so I can get my back and legs in order. Can't afford a power seat so I can adjust it, so I guest I have to live with it. At the age of late 60s you people should remember not all people are young when they buy your trucks. Please change the seat for the next person as they could be Handycap like me. Love my truck! Would not buy anything else!

Horrible truck

I bought this 2016 lt z71 4x4 used with 30000 miles. At 40,000 miles the a/c went out. A problem (well known by gmc) with the condenser. Chevrolet wouldn’t recall the problem however offered minimal financial assistance for the repair. Now at 80000 miles, the transmission is shot. The only load I’ve ever pulled with this vehicle was a golf cart. This is another expensive repair at $3800. I’ve owned Chevrolet’s for 32 years but this 2016 will keep me from buying another. Before you buy a 2016 Silverado, do your homework. There’s trucks have multiple problems and none are an inexpensive fix.

I have a constant problem with transmission when you take your foot off the gas it will bang into gears, make a turn take foot off gas it finally finds transmission, steering pulls to left I have spoken to other Chevy Truck owners most of them have same complaint.

Beware of the chevy shake

Overall the truck looks good and is well equipped. Great gas mileage with plenty of technology. The only disappointment is a constant shake that is distracting if you have anything in the center console. Otherwise no repairs needed after driving for a year with over 30,000 miles. One recall to date

Everything about this truck is awesome I have nothing to complain about whatsoever. It’s more efficient than my older ones. It’s reliable plenty of power on demand. All the electronics are intuitive and properly placed. Having the hillstart and he’ll dissent assist is awesome. Four-wheel-drive engage seamlessly.
