This Year's Model Updates:

Only minor changes are made to Chevrolet's bread-and-butter Silverado pickup for 2002. Some options packages have been revamped for easier ordering and all extended-cab models now come standard with a four-speed automatic transmission, with the manual no longer available.

Pros:
  • Roomy extended cab models, strong V8 engines, available composite bed, disc brakes at all four corners, optional traction control.
Cons:
  • Cheap interior materials, sketchy build quality.

  • steering knock - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    By -

    I have a 1994 ck pu that had a steering knock and after a year of complaining (to Detroit) the dealer replaced the steering gear box which solved the problem.

  • Love it! - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    By -

    I actually bought this truck used but was the first owner. The dealership used it for parts deliveries so it already had 56000 miles on it in 2002. I test drove several other used trucks with a lot less mileage but they felt ragged out. Before I got off the lot I knew I was going to buy this one. It was very smooth, quiet, did not have one rattle and felt as if it had 0 miles on it. This is the longest I have ever owned a vehicle because I usally get the the "itch" after 1.5 years. Not with this one. It has nearly 130000 miles on it and after some new tires and shocks, it feels brand new again. Still no rattles. Still gets 18-22 mpg on the highway.

    Just 3 weeks old as of this writing. Very quiet interior for a truck.Pleasantly surprised the 5.3 V8 gave 15.6 mpg 1st tank, and 17.8 second tank. Tow package w/ Lim slp. Ride is a little bouncy but acceptable.

  • VERY GOOD - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

    INTERIOR IS TO SMALL FOR THREE PEOPLE,CUP HOLDER IS A JOKE

  • Good stuff - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    By -

    Not into the overstyling of the Ford or Dodge. Like the Toyota but the Chevy had the biggest ext cab. Very impressed with the heated leather and the controls. Plenty of power with the 5.3 and I would worry about the tranny if it had more power. The limited slip comes with LTs but I wouldnt get any P/up without it. Too much power to the rear and it would be worthless in the rain. Awesome with the limited slip.

  • Perfect truck - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    By -

    This truck is great for any young teenager looking for a first truck. If you want something fun fast with good handling then this is your truck. Sure it may have a little clunk in the transmission buut eh a little issue.

  • Not for Cold Climates - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    By -

    Its ok I guess. Fuel line freezes regardless of amt. of gas in the tank. Gas anti-freeze doesnt even help. Limited slip rear end gets stubborn in cold weather.

  • 208K and Keeps on going - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    By -

    Bought from surveying company with 205K. Truck plowed through mud and snow till I got it. Runs perfect. Shifts like it should and engine, tranny and rear are all original. Everything works and nothing squeaks. Great truck, nothing fancy - manual windows and locks and bench seats but its comfortable, quiet for a truck and goes great in mud and snow. Company I bought from routinely runs 6-8 of these all to 200K plus and they love em.

  • My First Truck - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    By -

    Great looking and a nice interior for athe base Silverado. Does the job of getting me back and forth to work at the dealership. Have added a few "custom options" to dress it up

  • Mr. - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    By -

    This turck is an overall good truck. It has plenty of room to fit my family of 6 with room to spare. Very quiet on the road and a smooth ride. The radio is great too. A real powerful towing truck for a half ton, i pull a 32 camping trailer that is well over 8000lbs and the truck handles it pretty well.
