I bought my 2015 Silverado K3500 4x4 Crew cab long box LTZ new. I now have 67k on it after 7 years. Couldn’t be happier! The Duramax pulls like a beast. On the highway empty mileage is normally around 21-24 mpg. The warmer the weather the better. Best mileage was Minnesota to Texas and back, 24.6. When pulling an enclosed tandem trailer mileage has been 13mpg. When pulling a very heavy 35 ft. Bumper pull camper it is 10.5 mpg. Ride is excellent, feels like a car. Only problem I have ever had was at 50k the def tank heater went out and was replaced under warranty. I usually get a new truck every 3-5 years but plan on keeping this one for 10-15 years. We still love this truck and have no regrets! The model in the description does not have an option for the Duramax 6.6L diesel but that is what I have in the truck.

i ordered a brand new truck after being convinced by the dealer that it would tow and be able to work as hard as my past 2002 3500hd 8.1 truck. the payload and comfort were great but it just couldn't tow as much as was advertised. there were other issues with traction controls and power management which also acted up. overall i kept the truck for 2 years and sold it back to the dealer to get out from under it.

well when I bought this truck the transmission shifted with a little too long a pause but after 20,000 miles its become great . the transmission over heated pulling a 7000 load with a 7000 lbs capacity trailer. but only got to 295 degrees. the mpg where terrible 7mpg for the tank if you put it too the floor a few times . but now days I am getting 10 to 13 mpg in Houston suburbs just had to break her in . oh and if a 18 wheeler cuts you off and you plow down its side that's $23,000 to fix but hey the air bag did not even go off. and she held up pretty good .

Let me start with the good. It pulls like a freight train and gets very good fuel economy. I have not had the "electrical" issues that others have stated, however, I have suffered far worse. The LML duramax engine in these trucks (2011-2016) is very prone to snapping the crankshafts when they are worked hard. I have had 4 of them break on different trucks. I also have had the transfer cases go out on 2 of them. The crankshaft repairs are not cheap ($12,000). They crank failure point seems to be around 180,000 to 250000 miles. Another problem is that parts are so high. Need a fuel injector....400 bucks, and then it it needs coded....change 8 of them and that's 2400 dollars! And then 500 dollars to have them coded at dealership. Everything on these rigs is so darn expensive. Yet, I still own them... Still haven't figures that one out! Maybe you will get lucky and have a good one...

This is a beautiful truck. Had way more options than I was looking for but ended up falling in love with the truck and buying it.
