I'm a grandmother and use my truck to haul grandkids to the rodeos, get hay, and just general travel. It is the most comfortable truck that I have ever driven. Mechanically we have had only minor problems and it has over 170,000 miles on it. I can't really think of anything I don't like about it. If it ever gets replaces it will be with another Chevy 1-ton. It will pull anything I've put behind it and is extremely reliable on the road. Nothing but a Chevy for me!
Very Happy Aussie

Purchased with 7000 miles on clock to tow my 33 ft.Fifth Wheel touring USA for eventual shipping to Australia for touring Australia with fifth wheel also shipped home. Extremely happy with incredible power from 8.1 L/Allison. Great ride even on our sub-standard roads. I cannot complain about 7 mpg towing over 10000 lbs. Love this truck!! Big size a problem in city driving/parking but excellent in purpose truck was bought for-towing.

Never had any problems with this truck, which I use to commute to work and carry my Lance 1161 model camper. Gas mileage is 9 MPG without the camper and about 8 MPG with the camper. Power to spare. Can be a rought ride on a bumpy road.

Very comfortable truck - could enjoy better mileage in this pricing climate. Will PULL ANYTHING and still get decent mileage.
Nice ride, too many problems.

Transmission position sensor failed just out of warranty. Truck starting shutting off while driving at 40K. GM no help. Found online info re: bad crank position sensor and replaced to fix. Both problems known to happen on other trucks. Exhaust stud broke and flange warped. Tailgate latch rusted inside gate and does not catch. Transmission slipping after stop and go. Toyota went 3 times as far with no problems.
Just an awesome workhorse

This 8.1 liter gas engine is a work horse when coupled with the Allison automatic. Gas mileage is, of course, not good. I average about 8-9 mpg loaded or empty.

I have a 4 door extended cab 3500 dually with the 8.1L and Allison trans. I've owned it since 2017 and has about 150,000 miles. I use it for towing a 37 foot Keystone Everest 5th wheel with 4 slide outs. I bought new aluminum wheels and 6 tires after purchasing the truck in 2017. What a difference it made in the trucks appearance! Upgraded stereo system to a double din Sony, Android Auto, XM-satelite with three camera inputs. Trailer has rear camera and left/right side view cameras. The only issue I have is the Allison trans leaks a little bit. Recently added Lucas additive, yet to see if that has fixed it. The automatic downshifting is wonderful when towing in the tow mode.
