• Cheap interior materials, sketchy build quality.

  So Far So Good - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Acerock - June 13 - 10:00 am

  Bought this vehicle in January and have loged on about 15,000 miles. I love this truck. I have the 5.3 V8 and towed my Jet Ski to laughlin this summer several times and got over 400 miles on a tank of fuel while towing! Gas mileage aint so good in town(most likely due to the flowmaster exhaust and K&N FIPK). Runs really strong and sounds good with the addition of a flowmaster exhaust and K&N. The interior seems to be wearing well in fact it shows very little wear at all. The plastics used for the dash and in the armrest are all hard and cheap feeling. The rest of the materials seem to be of an acceptable quality.

  Nice Truck! - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Nice Truck - June 3 - 12:50 am

  I bought my truck back in Sep 07 with 46,000 miles. I put over 1,000 miles on it the first 2 days I had it. I have the 4.8L V8 and it gets decent fuel efficency for a truck. I recently purchased a 05 Titan SE that blows this Silverado away with torque and power. I still think the Chevy is more comfortable and a nicer ride on trips, but lacks engine power and torque compared to a Titan.

  TRANSMISSION NOISE - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By S NEVILLE - March 20 - 10:00 am

  I LIKE THE INTERIOR ROOM,COMFORT,LOOKS, RIDE AND ACTUALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRUCK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE GRINDING NOISE THE TRANSMISSION MAKES WHEN THE TORQUE CONVERTER ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES FROM LOCKUP AT AROUND 42 MPH.THIS DID IT THE DAY I TOOK DELIVERY,AND HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER AND GM FACTORY REP AS "CHARACTERISTIC" OR "ASPECT" OF VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSFER CASES,WITH NO REPAIR POSSIBLE OR FORTHCOMING. I AM DISSATISFIED WITH THEIR EXPLAINATION AND HANDLING OF THIS DEFECT TO THIS POINT AND AM STILL AWAITING A SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION

  7 year review - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Tim - February 26 - 5:13 pm

  Bought this truck new in 3-02. Its had power windows replaced and idles a little rough for about two minutes on mornings when the temp is below 35-- doesnt happen too often in Baton Rouge. It now has 100,000 miles on it and was given to my 16 year old son in 5-08. Im frankly surprised at how reliable its been. Mechanics have told me that 200,000 miles of service is attainable with no major engine or tranny work on Chevy and Ford pickups. Cant explain this, but mpg improved from 13.5 city when new to 16.5 today.

  New 02 - Great 4x4 Ext Cab Truck - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Edward A. Franklin - February 15 - 2:00 am

  Drove Ford and Dodge, this truck absolutely blows them out of the water. Body is solid and all but sound proof. Pleasure to drive. Very good response even on the roughess of county roads. Plenty of power for quick starts. Gas mileage is 16 mpg combined city/highway. Keep your foot out of it and the average rises to 18 mpg combined.

  Average Price, Average Quality - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By nmgraduate - October 30 - 4:43 pm

  Over the past few years the only problem that I have experienced was with the cd player not reading discs. The Silverado is a dependable vehicle I would recommend.

  This truck is beautiful. Its performance is outstanding. Acceleration is excellent. The LT package has beautiful leather and features. It handles like a sports car and rides unbelievably smooth.
