Used 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Consumer Reviews
Love this truck
My wife and I went to the dealership to look for a truck for me, found it!; and she found a sweet little sedan which went home with us too. We were in and out in record time, and they had our new vehicles ready for us the next day. Great experience; we recommend them.

2016 chevy silverado 1500
Wanted a Ford f-150 aluminum body but could get enough rebates to make my payment where I needed it to be. I went looked at silverado 1500 I have 6 speed Auto transmission with 5.3L engine. Sticker price 47know but with employee discount and all rebates was able get it down to 34k...... 18" rims looks good and handles great...... only 1000 miles on it so far. Very quite inside while driving on Highway. Gas mileage 15-24 mpg but not a lead foot. Still trying to adjust to body style don't like the boxie look yet. Bought it because a lot of truck for the money compared to ford trucks...... think the steel body much stronger but weights more and will rust years later...... all in all its very nice truck for the money..... leather heated seats and many other options

Love this truck
I've owned the LT 5.3L V8, 4WD double cab, Z71 edition now for 10,500 miles and love everything about it. It looks great, drives great, pulls my 7x14 trailer just fine, and handles everything I've needed it to do. I enjoy the product and the confidence that comes with it. Very happy.

I did my research
Getting a new/used truck was a big deal and big purchase for me being recently retired. I read everything on all the full-size pickups. The JD Powers 5 star rating for reliability meant a lot to me in making my decision for the Silverado . I have family and friends that love their Fords but have issues with them after 5 years or so. I like the Ram and owned one before ( rode like a buckboard) but couldn’t get around the actual gas mileage, lack of comfort and finish level. Toyota’s high cost and gas mileage just got it a “nope” . I’ve owned my Silverado for 4 months now and really love it. I purchased it online at a dealership out of state sight unseen , as I was specific on regular cab shortbed ( last years sold in America) Priced locally it was 5k more and local dealership hustle/ drama pissed me off. it was 3 years and 7 months old when purchased, with a year and a half left on factory powertrain warranty. The dealership included a lifetime powertrain warranty for free. It had 40,000 1 owner miles on it and I carfaxed it for care and history, the truck was flawless with new tires. I paid $15,995 + shipping. Plan on keeping it forever.

TRANSMISSION!!
I bought a 2016 Z71 Midnight Edition Silverado new off the lot and from day 1 the tranny clunked and banged at non demanding speeds... seems to work better under heavy demand or when your really working the truck. I read countless reviews of people having the same problems... and I couldn't agree more. It doesn't ever seem to know what gear it should be in and tries to shift into overdrive every chance it gets, mostly in moments when it should be holding in a lower gear.... which then results in the unnecessary bogging/clunking/ banging high RPM downshift... I know that Chevy isn't known for their trannys but I thought by now they would have it figured out... I guess not... I have always been a Ford guy, and after this only Chevy purchase, looks like I will be going back. The only other complaint I have is that they put this nice huge on board screen in the truck but you can't sync GPS up to it.... at least not that I figured out, so its only used as a music/call screen.... On positive note, I give Chevy the gold for comfort and styling... definitely rides better than any Ford I ever had and has beautiful inside/outside styling with full blown LED everything which I really like. I just wish they would recall to fix the tranny issue....or put more R&D into solving the problem for future.
