Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (1999 - 2006) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I like the simplicity of the 05 Silverado WT model, the lack of electronically controlled functions is appealing. It is exactly what I was looking for. The value of the vehicle was reasonable and affordable for me personally. Nothing was missing on the truck apart from an updated radio. I would compare this to other truck makes and models around the same model year, as most has similar features. Mar 05, 2022

This truck was my first truck and it lasted me a great deal of time. I was reckless at that young age and I repeatedly put the truck through misuse and abuse - I jumped railroad tracks, drifted around town, did burnouts, and the other usual kid stuff. However, even when lesser trucks would have quit, my truck just kept going. Overall you get more than what you pay for with this truck and I was impressed with its dependability.Feb 19, 2014

This truck is a great runner and well maintained. The milage on it are 90% highway miles. The four wheel drive has worked great for the northern winters (I have never been stuck). The interior is clean (exception carpet has some stains). The average gas milege when loaded is 17 mpg. This is a great truck and I will miss it, but the reality is I no longer have any use for a truck.Mar 25, 2011

There is really nothing that I dislike about this truck. It has been through hell and back with me and it never dies. It hauls anything I throw at it, It get decent milage, and it never leaves me stranded. The truck has surpassed my expectations in handling, performance, power and longevity. Other than what I payed for it, the truck is very affordable to own and I always enjoy driving it. I have put tons of miles on it with minimal maintenance and it still remains to pass smog and run great everytime i need it. Nov 30, 2010

This truck is Good. the performance for a truck is amazing, it's got the 4.8 litre in it, which produces about 280 horsepower and 270 ft pounds of torque, its plenty of power!. Acceleration is good, I enjoy it when I put the pedal to the floor. The looks are alright, not too keen on the huge front bumper, but the "In your face" Grill and headlight are cool looking. Plenty of room in the back, Enough for 3 adults comfortably. The gas milage is alright, 15 and 20, meh, for a v-8, i think that alright. SOlid truck, no issues with it so far, got about 120,000 km's.The towing of amazing, it may be a small fullsize truck, but can tow around 8900 pounds, not bad! overall this truck is fun to drive, lots of room, and alright looks, keep it up chev!Feb 27, 2009

This truck has it all.....leather interrior, chrome bumpers and accents, handles like a small car and all at the same time it hides a small block V8 under the hood. A monster 5.3 litre (327 cu. in) with 295 horsepower and 335 ft-lbs of torque that hits like a hammer when the throttle is mashed. The four wheel drive system engages flawlessly (electric push button) and the rear posi- trac gets you outta those spots you shouldn't have gone into to start with. Dual exhaust and a cold air intake will make this truck sounds like a big block and let that v8 breathe a little easier. Don't plan on putting a lot in the bed. Anything more than an average four wheeler and the back bumper will be touching the ground with the front headlights being pointed at the tops of the telephone poles. Empty, the truck has a nice comfy ride, not really agressive or heavy feeling in the wheel. Overall a pretty tough truckJan 13, 2008
