Overview & Reviews

The Silverado 2500HD now sports a new front fascia and revised side moldings and taillights. Top-of-the-line models also get power-folding heated mirrors with puddle lamps and turn signal indicators. On the inside, the Silverado offers numerous entertainment options including a Bose stereo system (with rear-seat controls on crew cab models), XM Satellite Radio and a rear-passenger DVD-based entertainment system (crew cab models only). 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. On the hardware side, the standard 6.0-liter V8 gets electronic throttle control, as well as the ability to run exclusively on compressed natural gas (CNG) or a mix of CNG and gasoline.

• Powerful engine lineup, multiple drivetrain configurations, capable brakes, substantial towing and hauling capacities.

• Spotty build quality, mediocre interior materials.

  Too Many Repairs - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Kurt - January 9 - 3:46 am

  I bought this vehicle with the greatest of expectations. Duramax iesel, Allison trans. what a dream. It turned into a nightmare. The Injectors have been replaced 2 times, it seems that every time I turn around it is breaking. Heater, speedometer, transmision, the list and $$ go on and on, and this was all under 60000 miles but over the 36000 mile warranty. I have always been a GM corporation fan. They have always been good to me. This one makes me want to say GM you need a 100,000 mile bumper to bumper or Im going to Toyota, Sorry. I hate to disrespect one of my idols but they just dont seem to have the quality or dependability I demand. So GM here it is 100,000 bumper/bumper or adios

  This is a solid truck. It is used for trailering, hauling, commuting to work, etc. Only down side is its turing radius.

  One Nice Truck! - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By overhaul - April 18 - 5:36 am

  I just bought this truck about a month ago. Only problem was a bad serpentine belt. The power is very nice. I have the 6.0L and I cant feel any weight that I haul - Its like its not there. I used to have a 94 Chevy Cheyenne with a 305, and anytime that I put even just passengers in it, it felt lugged. I love the interior - feels like I am sitting in a recliner in a living room. I average about 10mpg when I am not towing, but hey, its an HD. Love the 3000lbs+ payload. Its very cozy on the highway.

  Ear to ear grin - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

  Great riding and looking truck, rides much better than Ford and Dodge. The crew cab is plenty spacious for 6. All shined up the truck looks great with chrome tube step bars. The Duramax diesel is a great engine, very quiet and powerful. Instrumentation is better than any other truck, period. Real gauges, with numbers (are you listening Dodge?), are the only way to go, not fake gauges like on the Fords. The bench seat console is very comfortable, much better than the armrests on the bucket seats. The RDS radio is cool, shows what song and station are on. Dual zone climate control is neat, cold for me, warm for the Mrs. Id buy again, very nice truck, very nice ride.

  Very good for first 53,000 miles - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  By Michael - February 28 - 7:20 pm

  I bought this truck to pull a 10,000 trailer part-time and eventually pull a much larger trailer. Never got the heavier trailer. New engine fuel milage was disappointing. Fuel mileage got better as engine broke in. 15/20 empty and 12 pulling. At 53k miles engine spun power steering pulley off the shaft. Replaced PS pump, pulley and serpentine belt. Next week blew ERG pump.

  This is the pickup I always wanted, and now I have it. It rides smooth, has plenty of features, and runs great.

  Super truck for pulling and long rides. It needs a bigger gas tank. 26 gallons standard when you get 12 miles to a gallon isnt enough. Also needs better quality seats. I have had the drivers seat recovered twice under warranty, and Im not an overly big guy.
