Overview & Reviews
The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the 5.3-liter V8 receives tweaks that yield incrementally better fuel economy, including a standard six-speed transmission and variable valve timing (the 6.2-liter V8 also receives the former, and the 4.8-liter V8 the latter). All V8s can now run on E85 as well as gasoline. Side curtain airbags, front-seat side airbags and stability control are standard on all models, and all stereos except the base unit offer USB connectivity. Finally, the 6.0-liter V8 has been dropped.
- Smooth and quiet ride, agreeable seats, powerful optional V8s, comprehensive standard safety equipment.
- Large turning circle, bland base interior design, mediocre cabin storage.

VERY HAPPY OWNER - 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
By mccdon - January 7 - 9:43 pmI bought this truck mainly to haul people in comfort, and occasionally loads of gravel, bark, or building material. The comfort is outstanding. The front seats are luxurious. Rear seat room is adequate for large adults. The build feels solid. Fuel economy appears to be near EPA estimates based on the Driver Information Center (DIC) I got 20 MPG coming home from the dealer-about 60 miles. I cant tell when the truck shifts between 4 and 8 cylinders unless I am watching on the DIC. There are many personalized settings to be made on the DIC. The dual zone climate control works great. Very happy!

Silverado - 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
By donotbuychevy - January 13 - 6:46 amMy 2010 Silverado suffers from very poor build quality. The bumper does not fit, and the manager of the dealership told me that was a common problem. They adjusted it and made it better, but he said that even ordering a new bumper would not fix the problem because of the poor design, and even poorer execution. There are a couple of dents that are from the inside out that could only have happened when the truck was built. The transmission is slow to downshift at lower speeds, an attempt to get better mileage by staying in a higher gear? I have 2400 miles on this truck and am in the process of trading for a Tundra. Obama should have done us all a favor and let GM go out of business.

Love My Silverado - 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
By history2 - October 10 - 10:44 pmI have a 2010 Silverado 1500 WT. Bought it with the 4.3 V6, black with black interior, power windows/locks/mirrors/cruise and keyless entry. Its a regular cab tho with not a lot of space behind the seat. It starts up and runs every morning. Ive had it since 9miles and now Im up to 9,000. No problems. Check the oil every 3k. Its quiet on the highway, pulling less than 2,000 rpms at 70 mph. It gets about 16 in town. That could be better but the truck does weigh over 2 tons. Great visibility at night. I wanted a reliable truck that could take me past 200k miles and Im on my way. I wanted the 4.3 V6. I had that motor before in another vehicle and i like it. Great Truck.

Great Buy for a HD 1/2 ton - 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
By hands - May 25 - 1:50 amGot this WT with the towing pkg for hauling horses. It has plenty of power and rides smooth. The $6,000 rebate brought the price down to $26,800 which was a steal. For the money its the best truck you can buy.

I love my 2010 Z71!!!! - 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
By raider_fanatic - May 16 - 7:33 amI bought my 2010 Crew Cab Z71 with 15k miles on it on March 3, 2011. I have not had any problems with it other than the exterior temperature gauge takes a while to register what the teperature it outside. Also, it is pretty difficult to park, even with the back up camera and parking sensors. I get about 15-17 MPG in town and 19-20 hwy.

Just took delivery - 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
By jpj1707 - January 6 - 7:33 amJust purchased a 2010 Silverado, crew cab, Texas Edition. This is a great looking truck, inside and out. Very happy with the deal I got and the truck is comfortable and rides great. Traded a Toyota Camry for this truck. Loved my Camry but need a truck. I hope this Chevrolet is up to par with Toyota in build quality and reliability.

Like a Rock! - 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
By ed blackwell - November 18 - 4:36 pmThis truck is intelligent. It has the 5.3 trailering pkg LT1. it gets better gas mileage than my 96 4.3 V6, and has 115 more horsepower. It also has a back seat ext cab. It rides better than my 97 Cadillac Eldorado. We least traded the 96 truck in, and now plan to sell the Caddy, because the truck, made both the old truck, and Eldorado obsolete. I test a 07 crew cab in 2007 with four speed. What we like is the combination of features on the powertrain, six speed, Variable valve timing, active fuel management, and regular gas, and flex fuel option. My wife loved Mercedes,but she could hardly believe the technology in this truck. After the test drive she was ready to buy!

MY SILVERADO HAS NEVER FAILED ME - 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
By kenzootak - November 7 - 8:37 pmMY 2010 SILVERADO HAS 47,500 MILES now. No problems at this time. WAY below freezing jacks up tire pressure monitor. AND THE ORIGINAL TIRES WILL NEED REPLACED SOON. Auto transfer case works well for 4x4 use. Drag to get in neutral. BUT THE AUTO SELECT DIAL FOR 4X4 IS EASY TO USE. THE MANUAL BUTTONS ON SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION WORK WELL TOO. HOWEVER THE MANUAL BUTTON HOLDS A LOW GEAR IF SELECTED WHEN YOU ENTER BACK ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED IN LOW GEAR ASSUMING AUTOMATIC STILL. THOUGH ON HILLS ,THE MANUAL BUTTON WORKS TERRIFIC WITH THE GEARS USE. FANTASTIC STEREO AND SPEAKERS. WIDE TURN, BUT OKAY. MINE IS REASONABLE ON GAS. IT IS OK FOR LOAD TOO.
