  HD-2500 - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Cat Daddy - December 27 - 10:00 am

  The 2002 Chevrolet HD 2500 is pure pleaseure to drive! I love the raw power it delivers from the 6.0 engine. The interior is roomy,and the layout of the gauges and radio/ CD player is very functional.The interior does not have a inexpensive look as some reviewers state.The paint is very nice, with no orangepeel as with some vehicles. I really like the body style with the raised lines in the hood of the HDs, and the honeycomb grill.The trucks stance is also a plus, riding high above the rest of the traffic on attractive polished aluminum wheels. I have no criticism for the Chevrolet line of trucks.

  The Real King Of the Road - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By TJ - November 2 - 2:00 am

  This is the real deal when it comes to working trucks. It can haul serious heavy loads as well as run like the wind. It does all of this in a Cadillac comfort zone. Keep up the pace Chevy, thell never catch you..

  Love my HD Crew - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Mike Mem - May 6 - 11:03 am

  Ive only driven 1100 miles. The ride is as good as our S-Blazer or even our Accord. Even with BFG ATs it has a quiet ride (much better than the Accord). Lots of room in the back seat for passengers. The engine has good power but you always wonder how much better the 8.1 or Duramax would be if I would have been willing to pay the price. The biggest downside is the size of a big truck like this. Im glad I have other cars to take into a parking terrace.

  Duramaxd Diesel with the full Banks Kit - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Duramax Diesel - January 24 - 8:00 am

  This truck is plenty powerful on its own with the Duramax Diesel. Tons of torque, a great ride and built tougher than any other truck out there. Lots of room inside. I had the full Banks system added over time (chip, exhaust, Six-Gun and Speed Loader) and this truck is faster, stronger and better than I could have imagined. I get a combined 18MPG and I put the miles on this beast in all the worst driving conditions. My acceleration is amazing. You CANNOT go wrong with the Duramax diesel and the Alison transmission. It will stand up to anything you throw at it.

  Great truck with lots of power. The 8.1L gets 12 mpg around town and up to 13.5 highway. Will haul/tow anything.

  Silverado 2500 H.D. Diesel 5sp auto-4x4 - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By elletmailman - February 1 - 10:00 am

  My Wife & I really like our new Silverado. The 6.6 liter Duramax Diesel with the Allison 5 speed automatic transmission is the perfect combination towing our 28 ft. trailer. Our trailer is concidered a liteweight at around 5,500 lbs. Our truck is capable of towing almost 12,000 . We have already towed our trailer a couple times and experienced no sway from Semi-trucks passing us up! That was a major problem we had with our smaller Astro minivan.As far as gas mileage goes- we got around 16 mpg towing (mostly highway driving). I tend to average about 55 mph on the highway. Driving solo- we get around 20 mpg combination highway & city driving.

  Extra dependable engine, poor transmission - 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By hillclimber - January 18 - 8:16 am

  Our company bought this truck new. I just parked it last week with 242,683 miles on it. We purchased a 2005 with low miles, speced just my 2002. The 02 has a utility bed with welder, torch set up, worlds of tools. Full of gas, gross weight is 9,650lbs. This 6.0 gas engine has to be one of the best in the world. Ive checked every tank of gas for 6 1/2 years,averaged 13.225, great to be so overloaded. The 410 ratio did a good job for us. The automatic trans. just didnt have the guts for the torque and weight. When I parked it last week, overdrive was out again...trans # four, poor quality trans. Overall, an excellent truck if it had the Allison trans.
