Overview & Reviews

After a complete redesign last year, few changes make news for 2000. Most substantial is the addition of an optional fourth access door to extended cab models. The already potent Vortec 4800 and 5300 V8 engines make more power, and programmable door locks can be instructed to unlock automatically when the Silverado is shut off. A Sportside cargo box is available on 1500 LT models, and 1500 4WD trucks can be equipped with wheel flares this year. LS and LT trucks get a standard electrochromic self-dimming rearview mirror with compass and exterior temperature display, and a soft tonneau cover is available from the factory.

• Fourth-door access standard on extended cab models, strong 4800 and 5300 V8 engines, programmable power door locks, disc brakes at all four corners.

• Cheap interior materials, sketchy build quality.

  By mountum - December 27 - 10:00 am

  This was my very first new truck purchase.I ordered it in dec. 2001and got it in mar.It was exactly what Iwanted and very sharp looking.Had one small problem, it liked oil;and lots of it.Used 2 qts the first 1200 miles then 1 qt every 1000 miles.The dealership finally changed the pcv and that has stopped the consumption.Also had to have the rear springs replaced.

  Good Purchase - 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Nick Gibson - October 19 - 6:26 pm

  This truck has performed great in the 65,000 miles that I have owned it. I have had to replace two things on this truck so far (excluding brakes, filters, etc.). At 36,000 miles, the rear universal joint went out, but this was most likely due to the fact that I drive on the interstate 80% of the time and run over 90mph nearly all the time, just below the cutoff point on the engine. At 72,000 miles the fuel pump went out. This also may be attributed to my habits, as I usually let the fuel light come on and stay on a while before re-fueling. Ive been told this is extremely hard on the fuel pump because it sucks in air. Other than that, no problems.

  My Y2K truck after 37K miles - 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Germanator - October 10 - 2:00 am

  It has been 3 years now that I have owned my truck and it has held up very well. I have customized it and pumped a bit more power out of that 4.8L V8. It definately has some kick to it. Nothing has been wrong with it after 3 years and 37K miles. This is a great truck. I will keep it for a few more years.

  Silverado Z71 - 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Megachange - April 12 - 12:53 pm

  Ive had this truck for almost a year and a half. The following is a list of problems: check 4WD light came on, multiple squeaks and rattles in the center console and dash, driver side seatbelt locked, and its pulled to either the left or right side since I got it. This truck also has a ticking noise after its warmed up. Took it to the dealer and was told thats the way the truck was designed. He said something about a exhaust knock. (I DONT recommend Vandergriff Chevrolet in Arlington)

  Some flaws, but a great truck - 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Mike - March 12 - 6:30 am

  I bought it used and have 76k miles on it now. Theres a slight rattle in the drivers side door occasionally. Sometimes it has a rough shift from 1st to 2nd, but thats rare. My mechanic said to replace the valve body if it became frequent. Otherwise, its a great truck. More comfortable than any others Ive owned (bucket seats), more power than I really need (5.3L V8) and a great ride for a pick-up. I dont plan on having a car payment for a long time.

  No need for a Ford!! - 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Workhorse!! - June 28 - 10:00 am

  At 86000 miles, the only thing Ive had to do is change the oil, put a new set of tires on it, and put gas in it. Still runs like I bought it yesterday. Can you believe Im still running on the original brakes??

  Awesome vehicle - 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By simplefello - January 9 - 10:00 am

  I currently own 2000 z-71. I love the truck, needless to say. It handles excellent offroad, and the 5.3l v8 has plenty of power and torc to get you out of some sticky situations while offroad. I would recommend this vehicle, and although I have not had any problems, I would recommend purchasing the extended warranty. The warranty is not expensive, and if you dont get it you cannot get it when your warranty runs out. good luck.

  Reliable Truck - 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Allen - August 14 - 4:00 pm

  I bought the truck new in 2000. I have had only 1 major problem, differential failed at 47K. Mechanics have informed me the diff is not really engineered well for a truck, more for a car. Fuel economy could have been a lot better. Overall, a good reliable truck. Can easily haul over 2500lbs of rock in bed or tow a 9600lbs trailer (and accelerate uphill). I would buy this again. I wish they would have made my model and year with manual trans.
