Other than an optional power sunroof and comprehensive overhead console, the Chevy Silverado 1500HD half ton pickup maintained most of its core features for 2005. This model comes in 4 trims: RWD and 4WD versions of the LS and LT. All trims have 4 doors and seat 5-6.
Gas mileage generally comes out to 14 mpg in the city and 18 on the highway. All trims sport a powerful 6.0 L, 300 hp V8 powertrain. The strongest max towing capacity among the 4 trims exceeds 10000 lbs.
Overall, reviewers consider the Silverado 1500HD an excellent tower for a half-ton pickup. They like this model's roomy interior and hard-working V8 as well. On the other hand, the overall build could use an update. While the Silverado 1500HD makes a good choice for those who need their half-ton to tow, you can probably do better with the Silverado's competition if you don't need to tow.
What owners say
I have been very satisfied with this truck with the single exception of the fuel economy. OnceI am able to sell it, I intend to get a diesel truck instead. The extra weight capabilities has come in very handy for me.
June 9, 2014It was a great truck I could hook up to any thing and it would pull it. Compared to my 2007 half ton it got better gas mileage and the 2007 only had a 5.3l in it. It was a great truck to drive also it handled great on and off road. I would race friends with s-10s and rangers threw the wood and I could beat them every time.
