Overview & Reviews

The value-priced Work Truck package is now available on both regular and extended cabs. Base models pick up cruise control, a sound system, chrome rear bumper and chrome wheels. An automatic transmission is now standard on LS models, and the V6 is no longer an option in this trim. Other updates include new polished aluminum wheels and 265/70R16 tires with either black sidewalls or raised white lettering. The Quadrasteer option no longer requires the buyer to order trailering equipment. There's also a new tonneau cover, and inside, you'll find underseat storage. Finally, Chevrolet has deleted the Silverado's passenger-side outside door lock.

• Roomy extended-cab models, strong V8 engines, innovative features.

• Cheap interior materials, questionable build quality.

  Great truck for light duty or no duty - 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By JayOne - December 10 - 10:00 am

  The V8 4.8 engine is great for all family needs. Great acceleration even with a packed cabin of up to 6 adults or a loaded bed. Engine response is suprisingly nice at street or highway speeds. The ride quality is smooth for a truck as long as youre not expecting sedan-like results; you aint going to get it! Interior door panels are loose and brake and gas pedals have rusted only after 1 month of purchasing (same on my dads 04 Sierra). Carpeting feels loose when vacuuming as if it is only held down at the ends. If some of these minor details dont get you down, this truck is by far the best deal for the money.

  Not Bad, Could be better... - 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By EKP - November 27 - 6:26 am

  As a former Ford owner, I am a little disappointed. My Z71 has already been in the shop for over a week with misfiring issues in three seperate cylinders. Chevy has repaired, although they didnt give me a good explaination of what caused the problems. I LOVE the truck (ride, styling, 18MPG+, Power), but the reliability is clouding my mind. Only time will tell...

  Buyer beware! - 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Carnie - October 13 - 4:56 pm

  Bought this truck brand new off the lot. 3 1/2 years old and the cylinder head is faulty. $2000+ repair that GM has admitted they knew these cylinder heads were faulty, but they wont step up and help defray repair costs. Truck is starting to rust already and weve had the steering column replaced 2 times so far! I thought Chevys were built to last?

  BlackJack21 - 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

  I enjoy the comfort of the vehicle. The only downfall I see is it lacks passing power, it takes a while to kick down and accelerate.

  Disappointed with GM - 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By rdmuri - June 17 - 10:00 am

  Have taken two extended trips and average 17mpg. Engine performance is acceptable, except to pull any grades must keep in trailering mode to keep trans from downshifting and over- reving. Have 12000 miles now and at 5000 developed clunk in the trans/driveline that is getting worse. GM says "normal" and refuses to fix. Cab roof is flimsy--buckles if windows rolled down at 60mph.

  lead slead returns from the dead - 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By g hp - November 15 - 10:00 am

  I have enjoyed my many trips to the gas stations in my area as this thing is very thirtsy. Its heavy, hard to park due to 4 wheel steering that it dosent have but needs. It is how everever, fun to drive and it tow my trailer with little problems..since adding a blower to the motor adding 150 horse power. Maintence is straight forwrard and the dealer has been excellent on my normal service routien. the soound system is great and its a breese to drive down the highway with not too much cabin noise. I would rate this vehicle as an 8..due to the turning radius. As far as relialble....couldnt be happier!!!

  Good Truck - 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By DKWinnie - November 10 - 10:00 am

  I owned an 04 ford F150, and it had a smoother, quieter ride and I liked the look better, but the Silverado is a significantly better made truck and just "feels" more durable and I am much happier with it. I also liked the look of the F150 interrior and seats but the controls and placement in the silverado is much better. All in all I am much happier in the Silverado than I was in the F150 though both have their strong and weak points.

  get the 5.3 v8 - 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By tracker - July 15 - 2:00 am

  I got the 04 2dr regular cab silverado 1500 with a plow/tow package 5.3 v8. It was my first truck. I used it for plowing this year and it performed awsome. I suggest getting the 5.3 v8 it has alot of balls. The 4.8 v8 is a dog, so spend the extra cash and you wont be sorry. The miles per gallons suck but its worth the power. If youre gonna plow, get the hevy duty 2500 beacuse the suspension is better. The truck feels like a car when youre driving it. But since im a chevy fan dont take my advice.
