Don't drive in heavy rain

Unfortunately this big beautiful truck, is that's all it is. I have owned one for three months and I drove to go to the store in heavy rain all sorts of water rushing everywhere. I'm thinking suckers no water will hurt me. I guess I was wrong. I just left my home and I guess if you hit a small amount of water at the correct angle it will create a vacuum and draw water from under the front of the truck. So here is my big beautiful truck broke down and small vehicles are passing me by. Btw GM says it's my fault??? I guess I missed the disclaimer that tells me not to drive during rain. I guess I don't understand stand what a Trail boss Z71 mean? Don't get wet? I am so upset all the money I saved for the down payment, the 4 months getting everything together and researching all options. I guess we need to know your vehicles safe water depth. However in the owners manual it advises you that you can travel through water up to the top of the hub. I didn't even get close to that depth. I'm guessing 4", it was rushing down the hill. But nothing any other vehicle had issues with. If you own one please demand them to fix it. My girlfriend has a 2018 Tahoe and traveled the same route to come pick me up. (Maybe 1/4 mile) I called the dealership and they explained how it creates the vacuum and it's all because of the way it's vented at the top. There's a spray hose logo saying not to spray in the vent. That's what causes a vacuum, the suction from the radiator drawing in air and the nice tight seal at the top causes the engine to work like a vacuum. Which would be great to get the coolest air but obviously not. I want GM to completely fix my truck and make sure it doesn't happen again. Maybe put in a snorkel. GM wants me to submit this through insurance and I don't think that's the right thing to do. These should all be recalled and fixed. GM should warranty this and thank me for showing them this obvious flaw. Btw the dealership did say to me it is because of the design at the top because it isn't on the Tahoe my girlfriend owns. So why when I go to buy a 4x4 vehicle with a built in lift kit do I even have to think about worrying about driving on paved roads. I wish I could have taken it out somewhere, but I guess you can't with this delicate flower. Trust me I am not just complaining, I was so proud of this truck. It (stupid I know) felt so good working so hard for it and then it failed. The next big bummer was when it broke down I had this sense of security thinking everything will be fine because I didn't mistreat the truck at all. Idk if anyone has been through a divorce and then go through the pains of rebuilding your life and try so hard and your hard work is just thrown away. What happened to American craftsmanship and quality. The funny thing is that we have been loyal Chevrolet owners for over 20 years and that's why we bought this truck with confidence due to our history of owning many Chevy vehicles but I guess I need to switch to another make and build trust with them. Sorry if wordy I just want people to know my full experience so far. I hope this helps someone. Thanks 😁

Check engine light at 4300 miles

Very disappointed to see check engine light after only 4300 miles. Also experiencing an intermittent issue with transmission. When shifting from park to drive or reverse it hesitates to engage.

The Chevy Silverado is a great truck, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a LT or LTZ truck since it is actually a work truck. Bit, it meets all of my expectations since I mainly use it for pulling my travel trailer and hauling lumber or landscaping items for the use around our house.

Rides great, quiet cab, functional and easy to use controls. The dashboard and interior is easy to use and very comfortable. The ranchero shocks are a great improvement on my previous 2010 truck. the best part around town/local driving 27.7mpg. highway 62-70mph up to 32.6 mpg. My old truck with cylinder deactivation/5.3 v8 never was above 20mpg on the highway and 16 around town. What mileage are you getting with your camry????? Too bad your model menu isn't updated to pick the diesel option with a double cab. Have 13000 miles on it now. Still getting up to 34mpg on the highway and 27 around town. No problems, great ride and I rather drive the truck then my car because of the visibility down the road as well as using less fuel. It's a 2020 RST Z71 package Double cab with the 3.0 Duramax. Going on year 3, no problems rides and tow's great. The motor is getting broken in and around town it is getting almost 27mpg and on the highway up to 35 mpg. Towing a 6000 lb rv, still manages anywhere from 17-19 mpg. Totally satisfied. Oil changes and fuel filters are all we needed to have done. Would buy another one if I needed it. We're at 40,000 miles. 4 years old now and just past 52000 miles. running just fine, no problems. Enjoy getting about 27 mpg average, only my 2002 Buick Regal gets better.

What a joke of a Truck. Thing is half decent quality and half cheap plastic. The knobs on the dash feel like something out of a dollar candy machine. Some parts are nice and others are horrible. The seats are so low and you cant adjust the height on them at all. I am 6ft and i am staring directly at the dash and my feet are out in front of me like i am sitting in a low chair. The transmission shifts like a 70's dump truck. What is happening to auto makers? Everything is going south very quickly.

Decided in November of 2020 I'd trade in my 2005 Silverado for a new model....Turns out it may be the best vehicle purchase of my life!! The 05 model had 262,000 miles without a major problem with regular maintenance!! I specked out the items that I was interested in with the dealer and within 30 minutes 2 LT models....One with the 2.7 Liter Turbo and the other with the 5.3 FI were found within one hour of the dealer. I had no clue that the 2.7 existed so I went home and researched the new engine and drivetrain. With new technology there are always going to be detractors but the research showed that the engine was similar to the 3.0 Duramax in construction plus it could tow 9500 lbs. which was plenty capacity to tow my two boats and had more horses 310 vs. 285 than my 2005 V8!! I went back to the dealer and tested the 2.7 Turbo and was impressed when the pedal went to the metal so I had the dealer pick up the 2.7 Turbo. The new design had an aggressive stance more ground clearance and added technology features that I was not expecting!! I had the dealer add running boards and fog lights and I added a slew of interior visual after market accents plus I changed all the exterior lighting to LED's with no problems!! After 7 months I'm averaging 22 mpg in combined mileage and routinely get 25 mpg on the highway here on the Florida Gulf Coast. This new 2020 Silverado has turned out to be an excellent purchase!!

Overall, a great truck. Only complaint is shaking a low speeds (under 40 mph) with cruise on. More of an annoyance than issue. Love the gas mileage and power. Good ride!

My first new vehicle in 18 years! The only thing I wasn’t prepared for was when I installed my oem fog lights there is a need to have the dealer program the darn thing. To me it’s a computer on wheels. Lol. I’m a big guy and feel there is more than enough room in the double cab!

11,000 Mile motor failure

Motor failure at 11,000 miles, lifters went bad, bending pushrods, rendering the motor non functional…. Service from the dealer has been horrific…. Unacceptable….. product support, unacceptable product. I cannot see Chevy staying in business if this is the way they operate …. It’s under warranty but the service is so unacceptable that it really doesn’t matter. Bought a new truck to have a reliable vehicle, getting stranded with 11,000 highway miles on the odometer was exactly what I was trying to avoid. sold my Other truck with 167,000 because I was worried about it breaking down and stranding me….IRONIC outcome ….. I would definitely NOT recommend a Chevy truck to ANYONE …

I have exclusively purchased GM vehicles for over 25 years. I currently own 4 now. THINGS I HATE ABOUT MY 2020 SILVERADO. 1. The daytime driving lights! Every time I unlock the doors headlights come on blinding me and my neighbors. Can't key the door because the lock buttons are disabled until you start the truck...then headlights come on again when I start it. 2. The auto stop! I can't stand it and I can't disabled it without taking my dash apart. 3. Rear camera is freaking bright! It blinds me at night and I can't see out my mirrors. 4. That stupid alarm that goes off when I park. It reminds me not to forget my kids in the back seat. MF-er! I DON'T HAVE SMALL KIDS ANYMORE and how dare you put me in the same category as those dumbasses that forget their kids in car! They don't forget their phones in the car but they forget their kids! I know it sounds petty but I struggle with these things on a daily basis. Love the drive and love the power but when I drive an F-150 for work it makes me think I should consider a change.
