My biggest beef is the lag at what appears to be 1st to 2nd. It is dramatic. When I want acceleration I want it immediately, not in the full second it takes this truck to decide if I am serious or not. More often than not I end up sending the RPMs into 5 or 6 thousand as it finally kicks in. It is probably going to result in a blown gasket at just the wrong time. I wish the dealership did not try to screw me so bad on the crew cab. I would have like that rather than the double or full-size or whatever the term is. But another $7K was just not worth it. As it is I paid $43K new. I already have 65K miles. It is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. The displays for the dash are not user friendly. You have to flip through multiple useless screens on multiple setting to find what you are looking for.....confusing. No GPS navigation was surprising. All that tech and no GPS available. Almost made me walk. I say now that I will not buy another Silverado, but if they fix these issues, then maybe I will look at them again.

I have always owned Ford trucks but because my son worked for GM I wanted to support him and the company. I bought the Silverado . On a trip to Florida it broke down- they said it was the o2 sensor. Same trip- it breaks down again- they put me up in a hotel because they say it's the coil and they have to order a part... 2 days later my truck gets fixed. I head back on the road again . I make it through 3 states and it breaks down again on a Saturday afternoon. Once again I am stuck in a strange town with a new truck that has broke down!

2016 crew cab 4x4. Now has 32k miles on it. This pos has spent more time at the dealership than in my driveway. Tranny shifts terrible. Chevy shake. Airbag issues . clunky tranny, lopy idle. I wanted to buy American made but Chevy is garbage and so are there dealerships. No solution to the issues, just the same old song and dance. Never again Chevy! I tell everyone I talk too, do not waste your hard earned money. TOYOTA POWER from here on out!

This review is based on the High Country model which Edmunds doesn't list. I really like the grill and front end design. Interior with saddle leather looks awesome and cab is quiter than wife's Audi. Ride is very comfortable and handling is very good for a truck. My only complaint is auto manufacturer's seem to over price trucks.

I’ve spent over $400 trying to fix the AC unit and it still blows blazing hot air in the hot humid Georgia summer instead of cold air. Transmission gave out recently and still awaiting the repairs to be complete. Chevy seriously needs to issue a recall on both the AC and the transmission as several mechanics have told me this is a common problem in the 2016 Chevy Silverado but unfortunately GM is too greedy and expects customers to pay out of pocket for expensive repairs on a young vehicle unlike Ford which takes responsibility for defective trucks. I will not buy another Chevy unless GM starts following Ford’s example and issues recalls for this kind of crap
