buyer beware!!! cheap paint. Paint chips easily on front bumper, side quarter panels, doors, and even the tailgate. Google silverado paint chipping before you go 40k in debt.

Disappointing

Really GM Why no fixes?, 04/14/2019

2018 LT 1500 Double Cab 10k miles. I needed a truck for my personal use. And yes I should have read more reviews before buying this truck a couple of weeks ago and spent more time test driving it. It does the Chevy shake between 64-74 mph. And yes the trans shifts jerky and clunky. And yes the under body frame,rear axle and rear end housing are almost 100% rust covered, And yes the gas pedal pushes very hard. And yes according to a lot of reviews the GM dealers have no fixes for these problems which are normal they say? Really GM??? these trucks have had these known problems for 4 or 5 years now and your GM dealers jerk your customers around with no fixes! I hope your new 2019 trucks does not have these problems any longer.I will never know since you have lost a loyal GM customer!!

CHEVY OVER FORD AND DODGE HANDS DOWN

I owned three new dodge pickups in past a 1997 2002 and 2004, all did not make 70000. miles without major issues with service being done on time. all were engine and transmission issues. Decided to buy 2012 ford 4x4 with the Ecoboost engine started having issues with engine rattle then timing chain at 100000. miles would cost 5000. to fix issue with no guarantee that was actual problem. Owned chevy wt in past and truck made it 250000. with no issues. Decided to stick with chevy from this point forward. bought 2018 Silverado LT with the 5.3 V8 and so far great customer service and truck operation pulling 4700 lb camper.

Maybe I’m a little biased here. Maybe I’m more of a realist. Maybe it’s because I come from a different generation at the age of 44. Could be a lot of things. Well I can tell you that I have been a fan of all things automotive since I can remember. When I was a child ages 10-15 I can remember a few trucks in my neighborhood that where awesome. All of them Chevrolet’s. Growing up they never seemed to age. Always looked great. I simply admired them. Then I got older and started making money and buying all different makes of cars and trucks. I worked hard and purchased many new. First off a truck is well A TRUCK!!! The ride will never be like a car. The handling will never be like a comfortable sedan. They are purpose built to haul stuff and tow. Period. They will sometimes shake and shimmy. The transmissions will sometimes act funny. The interiors will sometimes make a noise. At the end of the day it’s a truck. Now with that being said my Silverado is fantastic. I’m a 6’ dude and weigh 212 pounds. The interior fits me like a glove. My truck is the LT model, all star package, tow package, crew cab, bench front seats. Black on black. Will the paint not be perfect? Sure. It will chip and I get that. Is the interior perfect? Well for me it is. The ride and handling is legendary GM. You feel like you’re driving a truck. It’s a quiet cabin. My wife loves it. Everything works as it should. The MPG is spot on. I’ve owned Ford trucks, Toyota trucks, Nissan trucks. All where ok in there own right. For me it’s a Chevy. My advice is go and test drive them for 24 hours. Yes there are dealers that allow over night test drives. Around the block test drives are a joke. If you love the ride of a GM truck then you will not be disappointed with the 2018 model. I will admit that the new Rams interior appointments are really well laid out. However it’s a Ram. Meaning fuel economy will be lower then GM’s. Resale value will be lower then GM’s. Oh and just for the record, Ram wasn’t the first brand to introduce coil spring rear suspension. Chevrolet was years ago. I hope this review helps someone out.
