Pricing
So many great features!
I recently got a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado, 1500 RST and love all the features that comes with it. Chevrolet has done a great job of providing quality, convenient interior while still having an off-road capability of a truck.

My blue steel Silvarado 4X4 is loaded
Excellent finish on paintjob, driving is pleasurable and reassuring for an off-road capable vehicle of this size. All the frills at a great price for a 4X4.

My week with the 2025 Silverado.
2025 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Crew Cab 5.3L V8 – A Personal Review For a week, while my Audi A4 was in the shop for service, I had the chance to experience the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Crew Cab 5.3L V8 firsthand. Coming from a smaller, sportier car, this truck was a completely different world—big, bold, and unapologetically American. After putting it through daily driving, highway cruising, and city errands, I walked away with a solid impression, though not without a few gripes. Performance – Strong but Thirsty Right off the bat, the 5.3L V8 felt peppy and responsive, delivering enough power to make the Silverado feel light on its feet despite its massive size. Acceleration was smooth, and merging onto highways was effortless. However, the 10-speed automatic transmission struggled at lower speeds, often feeling unsure of what gear to be in. A quick fix was using L mode to manually select gears in slow-moving traffic, which made it much more manageable. Fuel economy? Not great. Chevy offers multiple drive modes, but I found myself wishing for a dedicated Eco mode to squeeze out a few extra MPG. It’s a truck, so I wasn’t expecting Prius-like efficiency, but a little help in this department would’ve been appreciated. Comfort & Ride Quality – Smooth but Some Quirks For long drives, I was pleasantly surprised. The seats were comfortable, with enough room to kick my foot up and stretch out, which made highway trips more enjoyable. However, the cloth material was a bit abrasive against the back of my knees, which was an odd and unexpected annoyance. The ride quality was bouncy but well-controlled, handling bumps with ease. Around the city, the cabin was quiet and composed, but on the highway, road and wind noise became noticeable. It wasn’t unbearable, but coming from an Audi, I could feel the difference in cabin insulation. Interior & Storage – Functional but Underwhelming The interior felt simple and practical, but a little too plain for my taste. Chevy went with sharp edges and hard plastics, which made it functional but not particularly premium for an LTZ trim. Storage was adequate but not abundant, which was surprising—I expected more nooks and compartments for everyday convenience. On the tech side, the infotainment system was fantastic, with seamless Apple CarPlay integration, but the base speakers were disappointing. They lacked the bass and depth to make music feel immersive, so if I owned this truck, I’d definitely opt for the upgraded sound system. Safety & Driving Experience – A Learning Curve Chevy’s driver-assistance features were impressive, especially considering the Silverado’s sheer size. However, blind-spot monitoring was noticeably absent, which felt like a major oversight for a truck this big. Parking was a challenge at first, but after two days, I had it figured out. That said, parking sensors would’ve made life much easier—without them, I had to rely on good old-fashioned mirrors and spatial awareness. On the tech front, Chevy has done a great job keeping the Silverado modern, with a digital gauge cluster and plenty of connectivity features. For a truck, it felt tech-savvy and up to date, which was a nice contrast to the rugged, utilitarian design.

My first Chevy
Love the body style. Nice ride. Almost all the features I was looking for. The only things were missing I wanted was a built-in garage opener, locking tailgate, & auto retractable side mirrors, the last one I think should be standard since full size pickups have a wide stance.
