Used 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500HD Consumer Reviews
Very Pleased with this vehicle.......
I love this vehicle. Handles well, has many bells and whistles. height of truck almost looks like a 4x4. Good brakes. Good Towing. The stereo Sucks, but I didn't buy it for the stereo. Will have to put my own in.
2001 Chevy 1500HD LT 4x4
All in all a descent truck, much better than the previous models. Much improved leather surfacing and features that were never on a truck before. Now for the bad stuff... Paint started peeling after a month, GM told me I did something to it, not noticable to most people but we know it's there. POOR gas mileage, 11 mpg anywhere I go. Harder ride than my dads Ford 1 Ton dually. Knocks with 89 octane (use 91 and it goes away). Auto shutoff at 96mph has to be fixed with a hypertech unit to reach 127 actual top end. Needs bigger stock tires for offroad use. No aftermarket lift kit that I can find.

Chevy 1500HD crew cab 4x4
This truck can pull my 5 horse gooseneck trailer and fit my family of 4 very comfortably for travelling. The back seat that folds flat is great for hauling dogs or groceries. This is the best truck I could ever have. The tow/haul mode really works well when we are pulling our trailer, no more manual shifting. Lots of power in that 6.0L engine.
Great
Motor knocks with low octane. Other than that it's a good truck. Put a 3" lift with 33"s on 20" rims. Chipped, bigger throttle body and cold air intake. No worse on gas than my buddy's F-150 King Ranch.
Great 3/4 Ton truck, rides like a car
I've never owned a 3/4 ton truck as an everyday vehicle. I drive on the interstate about 80 miles per day. I would have to get a Cadillac to get a better ride. Very stable. I get 17 MPG with 15 being the lowest in-town driving. No service problems at 20K mi. I could not ask for more in a truck.
2002 Smoking $33,000 Silverado
Truck uses a quart of oil in about 2,200 miles. Used a quart towing a boat for 450 miles. Truck smokes. Dealer service dept. said a quart per 1,000 miles is standard. Dealer service dept. says today a quart per 2,000 is okay and some smoke. I am embarrashed when I start the truck and it smokes. Wish I had my 96 Dodge back that I traded in. Last Chev. truck I bought rusted down in 3 years. I should have learned my lesson and not have bought another one.
HD=Huge Dissapointment
Don't waste your $$$$$. This thing has more problems than Enron. Here are just a few. piston slap (this is my favorite) burns 1qt oil/1500 miles (25K on truck) transmission front-end mysterious vibrations interior quality I have been to various dealers with all of these problems and none of them have been able to fix any of these. I will be paying Ford a visit very soon.
2001 1500HD Crew Cab 4X4
Although this is my 2nd Chevy with the 6.0 I still the truck has very good performance. The gas mileage is very good, considering the amount of HP and torque which is available. All and all a very quality product, which is much better than the previous generation truck.
I am very happy with my Siverado 1500 HD
I think by Chevrolet making the 1500HD, Chevrolet has relly complemented its pickup line. I have owned mine now for 10 months, and love it.
Love this truck
This is my second Silverado having traded in for a 4-door. What can I say, love this truck. Anytime I can pass going uphill hauling a boat with a camper I am happy. Absolutely no problems this far, very realiable. Great with camper 4-wheeling in back country. Hauling and towing far exceed any other truck I have owned. Ride is very car-like even with HD suspension. We can complain about fuel economy, but then if we cared we would have bought a smaller truck.
Great Truck
I drive this truck everyday to work. It's very comfortable, and I feel incredibly safe! When it's not towing a boat or loaded down, it tends to bump along on some of the highways. Also, I personally tend to have a difficult time pulling into straight parking spaces - like an elephant. However, I really like my truck! Absolutely no mechanical issues!
Awesome tow vehicle
I have hauled many car trailers both short and long distances and a 10k# boat 1500 miles effortlessly. I couldn't ask for a better tow vehicle. I did expect better fuel mileage on the highway (15mpg). Around town is typical for a truck this size (12mpg).
Big Bow Tiw
They are one nice truck
Excellent in every way
This truck is trouble free, rides like a cadillac and has power to spare. The 6.0L gas engine does the job nicely. The heated seats work wonders and all LT features are well thought out. The looks of the truck are second to none.
