exceptional towing vehicle, good in snow and slippery conditions, vibration in exhaust system, doesn't like to run cold, once warm it run very well, manf. says to run the rear tires at 80psi but it is very hard and rough, run them at 55 and front at 50, while towing I run the rear at 75 and front at 50, towing switch is sometimes apion unless your towing on hills or steep grades, don't use the switch on normal towning, running with syntheics since 800 miles and it runs smoother
Great 4 x 4

This truck is great. I traded in my 2002 Z71. The power in this truck is incredible. However, the gas mileage is not impressive. I put a Magnaflow Catback exhaust to increase gas mileage and it did not work although I did get 20 more horses. I am going to put a K & N filter. I heard that improves the gas mileage. So far I love the truck!

I bought this truck from my cousin early in 2007. It had 21,000 miles on it at the time, never towed anything and only had a golf bag put in the box. Since I have owned it I have used it as a work horse. I have had 3,000 pounds in the box and towed a 15,000 pound loaded dump trailer down the road passing fords and dodges all the way. This truck has the tightest steering in it of any vehicle on the road. it feels like it hugs the road. I havent had any problems with it to date.

Although I don't do a lot of heavy hauling or towing, I needed the full crew cab. I love how "heavy duty" this HD is. It is absolutely built like a tank, and I have not had one problem with this vehicle. It is very comfortable, and very powerful. My 6 year old has made me promise to keep it for him, and I have no doubt that it will last plenty long enough. Great truck!!

Owned this truck since 2007, and it has never ever let me down. Here in southern Manitoba she sees hard times but never complains. 6.0 vortec still growls and hauls ass with over 450k km, original 4L80E, only replaced water pump and head gaskets And regular oil changes. She’s definitely hard on gas but I don’t mind constantly paying for the reliability it gives me. My friend bought a 2003 ford at the same time, it burns oil and and hasn’t held up even close to mine. Still blows heat and cold nearly instantly. Best truck or vehicle I have owned, very very tough truck. Way to go Chevy on this generation

WE use this crew cab to pull our 7000 lb.travel trailer. We only camp in wilderness campsites. The optional four wheel steering has made backing up a breeze. Haven't had a chance to use the four wheel drive yet.

The Quadrasteer ROCKS. This is my 8th Chev 4X4. Although the IFS is not the off roader that the pre 88's were, this is an awesome truck. The power is awesome, but the mileage is poor around town. I have a 8 1/2' camper made for the short box with a full queen over cab and a 18' boat and it handles them like a dream. With the load it does not affect the mileage much. The Quadrasteer is great with or without a load. I like it so much i don't even drive in 2 wheel steer.
Amazing!

I had a 2002 1500hd crew cab but I got t-boned and I needed a new truck, the 02 was the best truck I have ever had but when I found this 03 I was so happy! I think the 2002 was a little more comfortable but other than that everything is amazing! Took it out to South Dakota pheasant hunting and the 4wd got us through snow drifts that were over the hood! It's so much fun to drive, I think the front end reminds me to much of a car, but I'm gonna put a new hood on it so yeah. We also pull a 20 ft deep v ranger boat with it and it doesn't even know its back there, and my uncle pulled it with his Ford f250 and said he struggled so yeah, go Chevy!
Not a bad truck

Has done what I wanted it to do. Not impressed with the cost of ownership due to electrical problems, poor gas mileage, hazard/signal flasher going bad, and the steering mechanism needing lubricated.

I JUST PUURCHASE THIS TRUCK IN JULY. I FIND IT HANDLES EVERY CONDITION SOFAR WITH NO PROBLEMS. I'M NOT SURE WHY GM DIDN'T PUT DUAL MUFFLERS ONTHIS 1500HD BECAUSE IT ALREADY HAS DUAL CALYALETIC CONVERTS.CHANGE THE EXAUST SYTEM TO TRUE DUALS SHOULD IINHECE THE POWER OR FUEL MILEAGE ! SO FAR I'VE ENJOYED THE POWER AND COMFORT FORD AND DODGE CAN'T COMPETE WITH INTERIOR SPACE AND CARGO BED OF THIS 1500HD. MY LAST TRUCK HAD 11 MILES SHY OF 262000 ON A 1992 SUPERCAB FORD. I HOPE THIS TRUCK DOES THE SAME !!!!
