Overview & Reviews

The Silverado gets a makeover this year that includes a new front fascia and revised side moldings and taillights. Top-of-the-line models get power-folding heated mirrors with puddle lamps and turn signal indicators. On the inside, the Silverado is the first full-size pickup to offer a Bose stereo system and XM Satellite Radio. The instrument panel and center console have been redesigned, and Chevrolet has added new seats, a more comprehensive driver information center and a dual-zone climate control system. For increased safety, Silverados now feature a standard front-passenger-sensing system and dual-stage airbags. On the hardware side, all 4.3-liter V6-equipped Silverados and California-emission V8s are now ULEV-certified, while electronic throttle control is now standard on all V8 engines. The Autotrac four-wheel-drive system has been modified for less intrusiveness at low speeds, and the brake system received upgrades that provide better pedal feel and improved overall performance.

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

• Cheap interior materials, questionable build quality.

  Get lots of looks in this truck. It is very fun to drive and it handles snow and other nasty weather like a champ.

  The Silverado SS is the best there is. The lightning might have more horespower, but you got to remember that it a ford. Ford engines dont put out a lot of horsepower, so you could have used that extra money spent on its wasted engine to mod out a Siverado. The stupid blue oval doesnt have any reliability. Not to mention that its design sucks. Anyone with common sense can see that.

  2003 Silverado Ext Cab 4.3L - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By JBaxter - February 8 - 2:00 am

  4000 miles and minor problems. Both rear windows and seals have been replaced due to poor design with wind noise. Vibration/buzz in the gas pedal is being worked. I know there is a TSB from GM on this. Fun truck that is smooth and plenty of power from the reliable 4.3L. Wife likes the room and the feel of a truck in the city.

  2003 Silverado, is the Truck to Buy - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By ChevyDriver - January 14 - 2:00 am

  5.3 V8 is a great engine. Powerful and quick, even for a truck. The ride is very smooth, not too much bounce. Its a great looking truck.

  I love this truck! - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Pat - January 5 - 7:33 am

  At 170,000 miles now, this truck runs like new. The 4.8 motor has plenty of power, and still gets upwards of 22mpg - although it doesnt do as well in town driving (maybe 14-15 mpg). But compared to other full size trucks, that dont get as good mpg, and some have less power, this truck cant be beat.

  Its a winner - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By weavercity - January 2 - 10:00 am

  After shopping around and doing my homework Im glad I got the Silverado. With the 4.3L and 5 speed Im getting 20+ mpg and have plenty of power for light hauling. The ride is better than the others and it makes the Tundra look punny when you compare the box capacity. The design and engineering of this truck are outstanding.

  5.3 liter z71 - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By new_chevy_owner - December 2 - 2:00 am

  I enjoy driving this truck. My only complaints so far would be the seats. Comfortable as they may be, I wish I would have opted for the adjustable seats. I feel like Im riding low in the seat even though I think Im average height (59"). Shifting is smooth with the automatic transmission, although the lever can get in the way of radio and temperature controls.

  Perfect for a Truck - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Joe! - November 22 - 9:30 am

  I have had this truck for 4 years and have put 71000 miles on it so far. I have yet to have any major problems with this truck. Also most of the minor problems were covered with in the 36000 mile warranty. The most recent and most annoying problems have been with the electrical system. It seems the truck has developed a short some where that no one can find. It keeps blowing the fuse for the driver seat and passenger window. I also have a tail light and running head light that goes on and off.
