• 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.

  Best Silverado Yet. - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By txreaction - September 28 - 10:40 pm

  I have owned three Silverados so far..1995, 2000, 2004SS, and my new 2008 is far superior. The options that are available are excellent. I opted for the extended cab LT2 package with the Texas Edition upgrade which includes fog lights, special 20" rims, and cargo management system. Stickered for $33,000. Out the door with gap insurance and extended warranty I paid $23,480. Thanks to employee pricing of course. If you have your doubts, just test drive one...there is a reason people refer to the Silverado as the Cadillac of trucks.

  4500 Awsome Miles and Counting - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By dbragg - June 3 - 4:03 am

  This truck is an absolute pleasure to drive. The 5.3L engine is strong although the transmission shifts could be tighter. The handling is more car than truck like. Weve had a rough winter in the northeast but the Silverado handled the snow and ice with out a problem. Fuel mileage is 18.5mpg on the highway and 14 to 15mpg in town, but I knew what I was getting when I went with the 5.3L engine. The build quality on this truck is second to none.

  I have had my Silverado for 3 years now. I bought it brand new. So far I have had NO problems with this truck. I absolutely love it.

  GM -Finally- got it right - For Now - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Old Red - February 8 - 11:36 am

  I purchased two new GM vehicles in 2008, a Cadillac STS AWD and a Silverado 1500 LTZ 4WD. The quality of workmanship was the best Ive every seen in my 62 years. 0 defects, good fitment, quality throughout. As good over better than any foreign car or truck Ive every been exposed to. Thinks I, "Theyve finally got it right".

  Great Truck - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By rnd - December 24 - 2:00 am

  First off I will say I only buy GM vehicles. I bought this off lease loaded with every single option in good as new condition for just under $25k with 29k miles on it. I traded in my 2003 silverado for this one. This is hands down the nicest vehicle I have ever owned. Very comfortable and quiet ride , beautiful interior , pretty good gas mileage and tons of power from the 5.3 v8. The only problem I have is with the exterior design. While the truck looks great it is a little lower in the front which makes going through those snow banks a little difficult. I dont want to crack the plastic in the front. My 2003 had better ground clearance. Great truck for the money..

  LT Crew 5.3 V8 2wd - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Walker - November 4 - 7:30 am

  Traded my 05 of similar features. The new 08 is years ahead in quality. The ride, noise and comfort are extremely good. Very quiet at even 70+mph. Back seat comfort is better than most cars.

  Still running great and smooth - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By billboo80 - October 31 - 8:06 pm

  I was a little worried about the tires that came with it, but they held up surprisingly well a year later. Leather seating and comfort allows us to take lengthy trips exceeding 6 -9 hours without aches/pains.Initial flapping noise at 60 mph was found to be front windshield plastic trim. We got it replaced. Oh yeah, there is this little thing called GM driveline lash, where there is slop in the differential, between the ring and pinion gears, so you hear a clunk when starting forward after a stop. GM says its normal...Ill keep checking.

  Fun To Drive Truck - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By PaulS - August 23 - 5:40 pm

  Great truck, by far much better that the 2006 2500 HD 4WD gas guzzling machine I traded in. Not sure what the active fuel management is, however after the purchase process on the long journey home over a 100 miles this baby got alittle over 18MPG compared to the 13 mpg the 2006 Chevy. This truck is much more quieter and much more fun to drive. Smooth acceleration quick to stop. This is by far the best truck Chevy has ever put out.

  08 Silverado W/T Base - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Jim - July 26 - 8:10 pm

  Wanted a base longbed truck for basic transportation- prices have dropped as dealers have a glut of these trucks. Very happy with performance, satisfied with price. Gas mileage is running less than my 05 W/T, which I expected. Overall, it gets lots of compliments.

  I have the 6.0 MAX LS and love it! - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By opus - June 21 - 11:23 pm

  Ive only had the 6.0 for a bit over a month and love it! Got the 6.0 trailering package to tow for Moab, but fell in love with the power and comfort! The LT doesnt have the leather and heated seats, washers, etc., of the LTZ, but with a remote start, who really needs that? And for 8 grand more than I paid, I sure dont! Ride is great for a truck, better than most cars! Interior is far superior to Ford or Toyota - which I considered as well. Gas mileage is not that great. Ive been averaging around 12-14 for the past month, but my foot is a bit heavy with this new toy! And I dont do much freeway driving yet. Overall, A great vehicle for 15000 under invoice.
