  Awesome Ride - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By drhjmacleod - September 11 - 10:00 am

  The 2WD Silverado is a great choice for someone who needs a truck, but also does not want the gas mileage of a 4WD truck. I opted for the locking differential. With a little weight in the bed at winter time, my truck has yet to get stuck. I love the comfortable and smooth ride and the power from the 5.3 liter engine. I have been able to achieve just over 20 MPG on long distance trips which I feel is outstanding for a truck of this size. Go buy one - you wont regret it.

  4x4 Z\71 SHORT BOX - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By rough ride - June 14 - 2:00 am

  Very reliable 2 years and 36000 kilometrs and the only thing I have had to do is the regular serviceing (oil,grease).took it on a 6000 km. (4000miles) holiday last spring not a bit trouble. the 4.8 V8 has plenty of power and for ashort wheelbase 4x4 it has an excelent ride. only negative I can say about this truck is the tires no good in the snow.

  best truck ever - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By luigi123 - February 24 - 12:01 pm

  i purchased this 4.8 v8 silverado with 59000 miles now it has 216000 miles and the only thing i have ever purchased for it has been the alternator and normal maintenance. this truck went through burnouts, racing on highway, offroading, and through snow without a single problem.. the best thing is that the motor and transmission still works perfect sounds even better then my fathers 2008 silverado. chevy rocks

  Great Pick up for Hunting - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By HuntingSouth Texas - December 2 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Z71 Single cab for hunting and fishing. I am pleased with the looks and power of the vehicle. I am at 40,000 and it is in the shop for front end problems, nothing major, but it is covered on the extended warranty. my roughness caught up on the vehicle. but it has never left me hangnin. it is a bit rough on country roads, but the overall performance and build is great. i love my CHEVY!!!!!!!!!

  After owning it for 8 yrs and 172000 miles who can argue its reliability. It still gets 18mpg with 4.8 v8. Have not done front brakes but did do back. 4 years ago flipped it at 65mph with family in it, no one even got a scratch. Glad ins decided to fix it. All I do is put gas in it and change the oil. Got 75000 miles out of original tires. Only on 3rd set of tires only been aligned 2 times.

  Great truck - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By jtop - August 13 - 2:00 am

  My truck has been very reliable. 5.3 sounds great with dual exhaust. sunset metallic orange is a great color. dodges and fords orange looks like crap. the auto trac kicks butt. you wont find a more controlled ride in the snow and ice

  Good truck - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By winnertruck - June 15 - 10:00 am

  I bought this truck used with 20K miles on it. To date Ive put 7300 miles on it and it has been a super vehicle. (If youre looking to get 45 MPG youre looking at the wrong vehicle!) Compared with Ford and Dodge power and mileage is great. Im averaging 17 around town and about 20 on interstates. To date Ive had no problems and only spent for maintenance items on the vehicle. I would buy another!

  great - 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By the happy catholic - December 14 - 2:00 am

  bought this truck off ebay 6/03 for $9,750 with only 10,500 (16,000 today 1/25/04) miles on it. a/c switch and anti-freeze switch went out but was replaced under warranty. go with light color that doesnt show scratches. use the wal mart rubber mat in the back for flexibility and if you get in an accident the rhino lining spray on bed liners ruin the bed. paid $3000 down and $206 a month for 3 years. cant beat this deal!!!
