Overview & Reviews

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.

• Roomy extended cab models, strong V8 engines, available composite bed, disc brakes at all four corners, optional traction control.

• Cheap interior materials, sketchy build quality.

  Best Buy Pickup - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By shotgunbill - November 23 - 6:43 am

  This is a smooth riding, but capable work truck. I have hauled firewood to building materials and everything in between. It beats any other pickup in its class for fuel mileage, yet has enough power to get things done. I think GMs quality has improved a lot over the last ten years. I love the layout of the cab, and the special features. The 4.3 V6 has decent power- low end torque, cruises at the high teens of rpm at 65 mph. It handles well and brakes good. When I trade in my SUV I plan on buying a Tahoe, I hope before they restyle it. While I like the current Chevy over Ford or Dodge , I like the style of the 2002s better.

  Love this truck!!! - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By hnugent - November 14 - 10:00 am

  Looks great and lives up to the look. Feels like Im driving a Vet with a truck bed on it. Love the power and handling. Smoothest ride Ive ever had from ANY truck, and MOST cars. A/C and stereo controls are easy and efficient. The layout makes for quick adjustment without distracting from the road. Get compliments on it everywhere I go. Got two compliments on the truck in the last three days. Am very satisfied with my purchase!!!

  2002 LS Extendo w/4.8 - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By charlesb76549 - November 6 - 8:06 am

  What a long way chevy full size pickups have came since the 95 I had. This vehicle is pure pleasure to drive. The power of the 4.8 V8 and the new stiffness of the body structure is pure beauty. The truck is as quiet inside as a limo and the truck is solid. LIKE A ROCK! Chevys auto transmission is second to none. This transmission adapted wonderfully to my driving habits. Thank Chevrolet for putting the beauty under the skin instead of the fad styling of the other trucks. This truck draws attention only to those who really love trucks. The 2002 will be a classic.

  Chevrolet Silverado xtra cab 5.3 2WD SB - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

  A real truck, not a cute poser. If you in need of real power to tow, dont waste your time with Toyota and the rest.

  02 Silverado - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By fmj126 - July 22 - 6:53 pm

  This is a great truck. Lots of power, very dependable, and very good design. This is my first truck and I love it. I have dual exhaust on the 5.3 and it sounds great. If the gas pedal is pushed a little hard you wont get good gas mileage but I keep it under 2000 rpms and and get a little under 20 mpg.

  Switched to Extended Cab - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By RoeberR - June 30 - 10:00 am

  No problems. I do mostly city driving and get about the same gas mileage with the the big v8 as I did with the small v6. I switched from the regular cab to extended to get more space, and got the v8 because the v6 just didnt feel right. Ive only had 2 issues with the truck. 1. Its too long. It doesnt fit in my garage. 2. It doesnt turn sharp enough, but Chevy sells an option to fix that problem.

  Good - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By wavydave - May 18 - 10:00 am

  All of the obvious plastic on the inside of the truck make the interior look cheap. You can hear plastic bits rubbing together when you roll down the road, especially coming from the extend cab area. The declo CD/tape deck that came with this LT trimmed truck are pure junk. The only upside were the big easy to read buttons. The only better looking truck is on the road is the GMC Denali. The four wheel steering option must be nice. The turning radious on the extended cab is pretty wide Gas mileage is good in the 4.8 liter, and the ride is comfortable. Overall, this is a great truck.

  I dont want a new truck - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By chevyman - April 5 - 4:46 pm

  I got 95000 and all I have had 2 do is oil changes and 2 20 amp fuses in this truck and that is it! Me and my friend both have dune buggies, and I passed his V10 Ford going up a large grade. I love Chevys return of the 5.3 327 motor and it is here to stay!
