Awesome Truck!!! — This has been an awesome truck! Not one problem. It has been well maintained & driven mainly interstate miles. It gets very good gas mileage for a truck & has hd a rhino liner sprayed in the bed. Very attractive looking vehicle.

2003 Chevy Silverado — Love this truck to pieces. Currently sitting in driveway because 3rd and 4th gear went. No complaints about this truck. It's fun to drive around and looks great. Haven't had to do too much work on it. Needs new breaks because of 22" rims. Tranny went because of towing boat and driving like a crazy person :P

Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)

Daily Driver — decent perfromance with mild modifications such as chip, intake and exhaust. built to last unless you wreck it. has a docile yet appealing appearance but has wide variety of parts available. relatively cheap to own it maintained properly. very fun to drive.

amazing class, traditional guys truck.

back seat, even with the extended cab, is very confining. The leather could be a bit higher quality.

Love It. — I bought this truck about 6 years ago with 200kplus KM on it. Nearing 400 now, and I can say it is better than any new truck I have test driven to date. I drove a new Silverado today and had my pen ready to purchase it cash, but there is no way the new ones are worth more than 30k.. I will keep this truck until the doors rust off, and fortunate for me, the body is in perfect shape.

Great For My First Vehicle. — Has great gas mileage. Runs great. Haven't had any problems with it. It's a pretty fast truck on the highway in the higher gears. I got it for a great price for the condition it's in. It's definitely a fun truck to drive around and own.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

This Is A Great Work Truck As Well As Travel Truck. — I love the responsiveness about it, but what I don't like is the turning ratio. It starts every time, it has the big V8 so it does get up and go! It is fun to drive, mine is black on black.

Primary Use: Family transportation
