Used 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT1 for Sale near Arcola, IL

This truck has most features you need! Great looks & styling, chromed steel wheels, spray on bed liner, V8 4.3L engine, XM radio, OnStar, and a top of the line sound system. The truck is comfortable for commuting to work, hauling a load, pulling a trailer, or taking you hunting or fishing. This truck is so reliable that the only things we've done are the standard maintenance items: oil changes, tire rotations, weekly washings, regular waxings, and cleaning out the interior on a regular basis.

I have had all types of trucks.........Ford, Dodge, Chevy and GM. This Chevy has a great engine and good towing capacity. Mine has the towing package and the towing mode setting on the transmission that gets a lot of use. I think it sets the shift points higher. I have the long bed.........my opinion is that if youre going to buy a truck, get the whole truck. I have never been a fan of short beds because we use our truck like a truck not a car. I am not brand loyal - I buy the best deal I can find. They all do well if you take care of them. Yes, even Dodge has come a long way in the past 10 years. The Silverado is probably the simplest to work on (most mechanics will agree). This also reduces ownership costs. The only thing I have against GM / Chevy is I still have a strong resentment of them taking the bailout money from Obama.

Excellent towing, reliable, decent fuel economy, lots of power, comfortable ride and lots of room, bed could be a little bigger and the transmission could use one more gear as it shifts up and down a lot goin up hills

The 2008 Silverado is a hard all-around truck to beat. Exterior and Interior build qualities are second to none. Combine that with the solid frame and you will not hear any squeaks or rattles. The suspension is smooth on road but perhaps not tough enough for the trails. The 5.3 engine offers better fuel economy than most. However, the compromise is a lack in power compared to most full-size pickups. In conclusion, this vehicle does everything it was built to do and has the build quality to keep it that way for years to come.

Excellerates very well, handles like a dream, gets better milage than my wife's van. Body design greatly improved over previous styles. Maintenace cost has been very low. Not that thrilled with onstar and the XM coverage can be spotty at times.
