Used 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500HD Consumer Reviews
First Time Chevy Owner
I shopped for a month comparing the Ford, Dodge and Chevy. I have always owned Ford but was very disappointed in Ford's decision to shorten the bed to 5ft. The Dodge was very nice, but has mechanical issues with their transmissions plus they want too much money for it. The Chevy was finally my choice. It is very roomy inside and all the features are nice. I don't understand Edmunds comments about the cheap interior plastic items and Consumer Reports rated the Silverado #2, behind the Toyota, but only real men drive real American trucks. ;-)

Problems With Chevy 1500HD
I have had transmissinon Problems. It does not want to go into Overdrive. With the higher RPM's not going into Overdrive it caused the heads to crack. This aloud oil to get into the coolet system. Also I have Problems with the AC not keeping coolet in it. So where there is a leak which has not been found.
1500HD
I rated the truck high because I like it. It may be lighter than the Heavy heavy dutys but it rides as good as my wifes $24.000.00 car. It's quite and runs good, with plenty of pep. The gas milage is around 13 intown and 16 on the highway. It sits as high as the 2500HD's and it looks good. But with a big truck your not going to get the milage like a small truck. But thats the price I'm willing to pay.
dont buy one
hello i bought one from a dealer in irvine california, at first i was real happy with my truck, then about 5000 miles my engine started to nock in the morning for a couple of minutes. know i have around 12000 miles and it is getting worse. took it back to the dealer and they tried to tell my that they didnt hear anything that wasnt normal, i almost lost it. i took the manager to my truck and mad him change my ivoice to say they cant fix it. he tried to tell me that all the trucks are having this problem and there will be a fix for it around aug.2002. luckly i live in california and we have a lemon law. im in the process to have the dealer buy back my truck.

In Love with Our Truck
From the get-go my boyfriend and I have been thrilled with this truck. The initial purchase (over the phone-sight unseen) to 20k/m later this truck has exceeded our expectations. Mechanically nothing has gone wrong, though we are fenatics about maintenance. Don't get me wrong, this truck does work (long road trips, boats and tons of SCUBA gear) and even then it is more comfortable than our other vehicle (Audi A6).
Work/Family truck
I was ready to buy this truck when I saw the prototype two years ago. It is great for work and fantistac for the family. My wife has a Nissan Quest and now we get to get a Passat because the truck will double for a family hauler when needed. I had a 1999 Silverado before this one and this is a much better built truck.
