This 1/2 ton truck is not very good for towing above 5000 lbs.....

Bought a used 2018 Chevy Silverado LT Crew cab 4x4 with 60,000 miles on it. Paid $25,000 under the Original sticker and the previous owner was an older gentleman who took great care of it but put a lot of highway miles towing a light trailer. I have had it for about a year and I couldn’t be happier, my only complaints are the turning radius (but what do you expect from a HD truck) and the lack of air vents for the back seat (which they have now in newer models). I don’t think I would ever buy one new...$50,000 to 60,000 plus! Currently have close to 100,000 miles and no issues (2023).

Bent rim, bad tires, missing accessories

What was advertised was not what came with the truck. Dealership had supposedly checked the oil, tires, and batteries. Thought it just needed a balance, ended up with bent rim and out of round tires. They reimbursed me for the rim, but still had to fork out 2k for tires. Still waiting on headsets that was suppose to be with the entertainment system, supposedly they have shipped me some. No under the seat storage as described.

Just made a trip to Iowa with a Lance slide in truck camper (approximate 4000 lbs) in my 2017 High Country 2500 duramax. Overall mileage 14 mpg. Has the best 32.7 mpg on the dash. Hauled logs with it and grossed 32740 lbs.

2017 Duramax So far so good. I’ve got 28,000 miles on it, it’s only been in the shop once for recall. Used daily to work.

Ordered my 2018 Silverado 2500 Z71 exactly to my liking. It hasn't let me down in 5 years. No dash lights. Only 1 thing needed to be fixed under warranty- a light went out in one of the radio buttons. My daughters love my truck and I regularly get compliments on it.

Looked for a year before I found what I wanted, a two door 8ft bed work truck. I have no use for what I call 4 door sedans missing their trunk lid. If I just needed a tow vehicle I'd probably think differently, but I wanted something where I could haul 4X8 sheet goods and close the tailgate. I've talked to other PU owners who have the 4 door versions and they hate them.

great for towing - no complaints

For those that have issues with safety chains and factory hitch, get some heavy duty carabiners to fit the hitch which will solve that matter of attaching the chains. My pickup tows my 7000# travel trailer just fine uphill and downhill. I added a WD hitch with sway control bars which really makes the towing pleasant. Went thru Canada to Montana, Dakotas and back last summer and no complaints. Glad to see standard factory tow mirrors for 2020 2500HD GM pickups. My replacement tow mirror purchase and programming turn signal option that wasn't there originally was $$$$. My fault for not picking the one off the lot with bigger tow mirrors originally. Tow 3 1/2 months out of the year so not a full time RV'r and no need to upgrade for the 10k upcharge for the diesel with all its DEF requirements. Not my choice for my situation, may be yours and nothing wrong with that. I put 38,000 miles since purchased new in May 2018. Only design issue I see is with the factory remote start of 10 min. each for 2 times maximum with my chevy app without restart with key and running thru the gears on transmission to reset for another 2 time cycle. May go with aftermarket to address that matter. Haven't seen the dealer service bays since the 2 free oil changes/rotations and 1 rear defroster/slider window recall. No reason to, it just works as designed!
