This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Roomy extended-cab models, strong V8 engines, innovative features.
Cons:
  • Cheap interior materials, questionable build quality.

    Thought I would try G.M. one more time. What a mistake. I feel like a fool. Same junk theyve always been known for. Im stuck with this piece of crap for 4 years. Next time back to DODGE, THE RAM.

    IF YOU HAVE KIDS YOU NEED THIS TRUCK. THE OTHERS DONT EVEN COMPAIR IN INTERIOR ROOM.(YOU KNOW YOU DONT REALLY WANT THE FORD SUPERCREW).

    Rear seats are comforatable and please both the kids and parents. Access to rear seats with clamshell doors not a problem. Rear seating area has more functional room/features than did the 2001 Xterra that we previously owned. Z71 towing package provides enough axle and shock overhead so as to handle moderate tongue weights with no perceptible impact on suspension.

    The 4.3 6cyl. Is very dependable.

  • Great SS - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

    This vehicle is fun to drive! The performance and handling is great. We have gone on long trips with it. It is very comfortable and easy to drive. We owned a 96 Impala SS and the Silverado SS is the best. It is an all weather and versatile vehicle. It is close to the GMC C3. However is has more standard features. We love it. We have been looking for a vehicle like this for a long time. Great job Chevrolet.

    Much better than the Dodge products I have owned. Powertrain out performs Fords.

  • Still not the perfect truck ... - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

    GM still needs to work the interior better .. The floor mats that come with the truck look cheap and dont cover the space on the ground thus sand gets under the mat. The interior still has too many rattles. The interior is much improved but still see too much cheap parts. THe exterior bumpers are getting some rust spots in the inside on the bumper. The truck rolls at 5 MPH when you are not stepping on the gas.

  • BEST 1/2 TON ON THE MARKET - 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
