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.

Good Tow Vehicle, Bad Ride

I am surprised at the poor ride of this pickup. I owned a 2001 suburban for 14 years and I thought that the ride would be similar. It's not. I live in Northern California and the freeways have been poorly maintained so the truck gets airborne on several on the bumps on 80, 680, and HiWy 4. When I tow our 5,500 lb travel trailer the truck has a low frequency bounce in the front and rear. However the interior is quiet, the seats are comfortable, and the entertainment center is good. The economy is very good for a V8 as I get 20MPG combined and 14 MPG towing. The truck has good power towing up hill in the Sierra Nevada mountains. There is now sway or tracking problems while towing.

I traded in my 2010 Silverado for a 2018, mostly due to the big discounts being offered after the 2019s came out. I loved my 2010; total reliability and excellent utility. Over the years I had driven all different brands of pickups, but the Silverado was the best of the bunch. I researched both Ford and Ram, but in the end I decided to go with the known quantity. I have not been disappointed. The 2018 has been every bit as reliable, efficient and useful as the 2010, plus it has a number of design improvements such as a bumper step, backup camera and Android Auto. On a 2000 mile road trip it averaged 20 mpg (5.3 engine with adaptive 4 cylinder feature), at one point getting over 25 on the highway. The interior layout (it has the cloth bench seat) is excellent, with plenty of storage. I was surprised at how much quieter the 2018 was than the 2010. Speaking of the 2010, I was pleasantly surprised at its residual value, another factor in my decision to trade. My only gripe with GM trucks is how the seat belt gets harder to put on over time. Update: July 2019. Just drove out to DC and back (1550 miles) got 21.5 mpg average. My wife commented on how smooth, quiet and comfortable the truck was. I have also noticed this truck gets better E85 mileage than my 2010; Chevy must have tuned the engine. Now I break even on E85 with a 20 cents per gallon difference. The truck does not have nave but I use Android auto, which is better in many ways than the Chevy nav on my Traverse. Happier than ever with this truck.

$49,000 lawn ornament

Bought a brand new 2018 Silverado Z71 LT 1500 and drove it off the lot, jumped on the highway and hit 68mph and it wouldn't stop shaking. Took it in the next day and they did the alignment and said it was so bad it was as if it had been an accident but there was no damage visible. Picked it up and drove it home, same issue. Took it back and they did a road force balance, took it home...SAME ISSUE. Brought it back a third time and now they have taken the drive shaft off and shipped it out to check its balance. So basically I have a REALLY expensive lawn ornament sitting on the chevy lot and a Chevy Trax for a loaner car. They don't know when I will have the drive shaft back or IF that will solve the issue. So I'm about to make the first payment on a truck I cant drive. Great product.

I have a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado Black LTZ 4x4.i brought new and it is 7 months old it only has 12800 miles on it and it looks like it has 60000 miles and it’s 3 years old.

Poor product and customer service.i fieel like I got a painted PIG . They did not have any problem taking my money.
