Overview & Reviews

Coming off a redesign last year, the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado is unchanged other than the addition of satellite radio as standard equipment and an optional integrated trailer brake controller.

• Refined and very quiet ride, pleasing fit and finish inside, seats are comfortable for long drives, comprehensive list of safety equipment.

• Larger turning circle than most rivals, mediocre interior storage and cupholders.

  2008 Silverado - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Jacob - December 30 - 8:53 pm

  I initially got into an accident and totalled a fully loaded Tahoe. I put 96,000 problem-free miles on the Tahoe prior to it becoming a total loss. I never considered happiness could be had in a pick-up truck until the rental company put me in a crew cab Silverado for 30 days. I had to have one. The vehicle drives very smooth and due to the fuel management change from 8 to 4 cylinders on the highway, the improvement in gas mileage is very welcome.

  nice quiet ride. very smooth. we take the truck for family outings, while the suv sit in the garage. ive learned to drive easy to maximize mileage using afm, but would like it to stay in 4cyl at higher speeds/rpm. average is 17.1 on computer. had one problem with pass lock not locking/unlocking. it was fixed under warranty.

  I have driven this truck everywhere. I race motocross for a living so it has gone all across the country and never let me down. I also tow a 22ft enclosed trailer with me for races and the truck never lets me down. Always has enough power to tow up hills.

  Bigger and Better - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By sorin serban - September 29 - 7:23 pm

  I have been a chevy truck owner for over 30 years. This has hands down been the best truck I have ever owned. I still cannot believe that I am getting an average of 22 mpg on the highway, with the active fuel management. Not to mention the versatility of the back doors opening 170 degrees makes getting the kids in and out a snap. I love the power when I am hauling my boat to the lake it feels like Im not hauling anything at all. GM went above and beyond this time.

  Amazing Truck! - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By iTAPout - September 21 - 10:30 pm

  I just got my Z71 extended cab Silverado 2 weeks ago. Coming from a Chevy Equinox, I was used to a car-based SUV feel and didnt particularly like the disconnected steering I found in most trucks and large SUVs. This vehicle handles great, and I dont feel akward driving it.

  Remarkable power, handling, and styling. - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Wutisay1 - May 21 - 9:13 am

  Moved up to the truck from an S-10 to tow our boat The ride is amazing, especially for a standard-size truck. Plenty of power. I am getting about 19 MPG, with mostly highway driving. That is not bad, I think, for such a capable vehicle. The fit and finish is the best I have seen on a truck.

  Excellent Truck! - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Paulboy - April 29 - 1:23 pm

  Love my truck! Used to have a car but driven right my truck gets the same mileage! I get about 20.5 mpg on highway, set the cruise at 65 and itll stay in 4 cyl mode all day long! Z71 supension and tires are a must! Ive been off roading a bunch of times and Ive never even been close to getting stuck! Great looking truck except for those scratches now!

  I am very impressed with not only the look of this truck, but the way it performs. Ive only had it a few weeks and had many compliments on it. This could be the best truck purchase I have ever made.

  Awesome Truck - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By andrew - February 8 - 2:06 am

  Great ride, very quiet, OnStar is great. I love this truck. The mileage is as estimated by GM and that is great for such a truck.

  Wow! - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By mike - February 2 - 1:33 am

  I owned 4 of the old body style Silverado and thought they were nice driving trucks but the new 2008...nice truck! It drives 100% better than the one it replaces and the seats are much more comfortable. I have the 5.3, the power is there and from what I can tell the active fuel management will help with the gas mileage. If you drive this truck you will buy it!
