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.

  2003 1500 - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By J Presley - March 2 - 10:00 am

  Stylish and powerful truck that has a solid feel going down the road. All of the changes for 2003 only made a good truck better. Good enough to finally make me switch from Ford to Chevy. I keep hearing of the cheap feel of the interior but sitting in the Ford I see just as much p-lastic and a lot less style.

  2003 chevy ailverado quality review - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By George Miller - December 21 - 10:00 am

  The truck is excellent!!...I just wish the manufacturer would have leather and on star as options for the LS model. The 5.3 V8 gets 14.9 City to 16.4 Highway. With gas as expensive as it now is, I would like to see better gas mileage. Handling and performance is great!...Ride i s a little too rough! Needs improvement. I removed the overload springs and added air bags. Still didnt help the ride!

  They just keep getting better - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By nychevy - October 30 - 2:00 am

  I spent some time looking at Dodge, Chevy, and Ford. Each truck had some good and bad features. The Chevy had the best interior of them all. The rear seat in the extended cab is also roomier than Ford or Dodge. The 5.3 engine stood out head and shoulders above Dodge and I felt it was quieter with a smoother transmission over the Ford. Handling is unbelievable.

  REAR SEAT COVERS - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Steve Chermak - October 7 - 2:00 am

  Floor mats left on back seat during transit left imprints that after two months and three trips to dealer still show. Dealer will not replace yet and poor materials used on premium seat covers . Also problems with factory alarm system and interior lighting.Back window noise

  03 4x4 4.8L - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By BCKNBLK - October 7 - 2:00 am

  When the 03s first came out I hated the new design but it grew on me. I added a billet aluminum grille and it looks like a whole new truck now. The power of just the 4.8L impressed me so much that I thought it was a 5.3L at first. I had two Dodge Rams previously and the vortech motor would just walk all over the 5.2L and 5.9Ls I had in my Rams. Overall its a AWESOME truck and Chevy got back my loyalty with this truck!

  Chevrolet new SS 1500 - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Marvin J. Thompson - July 26 - 10:00 am

  this truck has great towing ability. It is very comfortable and a head turner. I am always being asked if it is the new thruck with the 6.0 liter motor that Chevrolet introduced this year. The truck is very confortable and very quick, even when towing a boat or wave runners to the lake. The controls on the steering wheel are a great new feature for pick-ups.
