2005 Chevrolet Silverado

Pros: Value, best blend of performance, features, looks, ruggedness. A real truck.
Cons: Hope it's as reliable as my old Toyota.

I'm replacing my 10 year old Toyota Truck with a bigger Chevy; this is my first American nameplate! So far, so good. The V8 engine is smooth and efficient, actually having the best gas mileage of all the trucks I compared. Looked at all the others and Chevy has the best blend of size, features, and price. I could not beat the price with GM Employee Discount, rebate, and my GM card. Ford truck was very good but too big and gas mileage was worse. Toyota too expensive. Did not like Dodge's interior and worst-of-the- pack gas mileage.

Pros: Great all around 4x4 truck
Cons: Fuel prices for the big V-8

Purchased the 1500 4x4 Extended Cab Dec-04, have had it now for a few months. Was really impressed with the 5300 V-8, can't tell the difference when the beds loaded or empty. Excellent cab features, as if someone who actually drives this stuff got to engineer this truck. Haven't found anything yet in or on the truck with wonderment of why they didn't do something different. Even received a call from a person who works on the assembly line, wanted to know how we liked our truck, and if it was living up to all of our expectations!! Can't beat that.

Pros: Comfortable ride, good power, & beautiful design
Cons: Lacks the dependability of a Toyota or Honda

We purchased a Silverado this year and have been extremely happy with it. The interior has many features, but the features are incorporated in such a way that they are easily accessible.

Pros: Comfortable,easily controlled.
Cons: Gasoline thirsty V8

This is the ultimate truck. The 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 1500. This is an excellent machine. I have driven lots of vehicles and this is my favorite one to date. It has amazing power and torque. This(in my opinion)is probably the most powerful truck in it's class. I love the ride because it is so smooth and easy to relax in. It has the patented Chevrolet interior with the buttons and whistles extremely easy to get to. The push button four-wheel drive is excellent. This truck is definitely the way to go. I have not found anything bad about this truck and if I had to say something bad about it for review purposes it would the the fuel inhaling V8. But, that is standard territory for all V8's.

Pros: smooth ride, lots of power, lots of room, best purchase I ever made
Cons:

had brake rotors replaced @ 24K miles -- otherwise solid as a rock

I've been so pleased with the performance of my Z71 Chevy 4x4 truck. It's the first brand new vehicle I've ever owned, and I couldn't be happier with the choice I made. I love driving it -- has lots of power, is extremely comfortable and the Bose sound system ROCKS! One of the things I really love about it is that even though it's a truck, it still rides like a car (even after 3 years of use). I use it for everything from running errands and driving to work, to hauling hay and pulling our horse trailer. It does double duty as our "farm truck" and our family vehicle. It averages 17.5 MPG, which I'm happy with considering the amount of city driving and hauling I do. When it comes time to trade in for a new vehicle, it will definately be another Chevy truck, although I may go to the 2500 this time since I bought a considerably larger horse trailer.

Pros: Good Power, Roomy Front and Rear
Cons: Stock Tires are small small small

Have owned (well the bank owns, they just let me drive it) for 12K miles, and as this is my fourth Chevy truck. Mine is a 2500 with the 6.0 X-Cab, short bed. Did add a Hypertech Supertunner to try to get the most of this motor and improve gas mileage. I tow a midsize horse trailer and also a 5 ton dump trailer (fully loaded). Living in the Ohio Valley there are many large hills and so far this truck has had ample power. I average around 12-14 Mpg, a little less with the trailers. Love the upgrade of the forth door, my 02 only had a third. This door makes getting people and cargo in and out of the back seat an ease. Would like to see child restraints for car seats added as a standard. Hope to get many more miles out of this work horse.

Pros: Not a loud diesel.
Cons: Took it in to our dealer 4+ times for the same thing.

looks nice, i have the work truck no problems with exterior, interior design. i have had no problems with the windows.

truck rides rough, we have a duramax diesel (its not loud).

here is a list of things (to keep in mind, as a possible for you )that we had to take repeated time to get fixed,
the heater broke during winter, it wouldnt turn on. they said they fixed it- yet it didnt work couples days later.
anthoer- we have took it in 3 times becuase it doesnt like to go in to gear a lot. We haved call GM alot it seems.
since last time we got it fixed it hasnt done it YET.
you would think that the dealership and Gm would treat us better as a customer and buying 4 new trucks in the last year.
