AWESOME!! Very fast, hot rod performance, ultra heavy duty 3/4 ton,
8600 GVW, goes to 100 mph very quickly, smooth, gets 20+ mpg at steady
65 mph. i love this truck, it is real truck!!!

NONE!! i love everything about it, reg cab, long bed, nice General LT truck
tires, great visability, GM should never have stopped producing this very
capable and great truck.

$25,000 I highly recommend this truck. Neighbors have new Silverado's, no
complaints as yet, however they are in awe of my last of the big boy CK's...
AM loyal to none. If I like a certain truck, I will buy it, regardless
of make. Have yet to own Dodge pick-up. May be my next purchase....

Everything

To much power in slick conditions

Everyone I talk to who has one of these loves it. The problem with the reviews is if your loyal to Ford your going to rip Chevys and if your loyal to Chevys your going to rip Fords. So I say buy whichever truck best meets your needs. The chevy met mine and I love it. Its a great truck.

Dodge, Ford. the chevy had more power than both

This truck is everything the brochure says it is. Strong, fast, quiet, smooth, powerful, comfortable, intelligent. I got everything I asked for and more. Gas mileage isn't great, but my experience has been just about exactly what they advertise (15/18). It is the best of the Big 3 and Toyota. Note: if you're looking for a big V8, don't get your hopes up on gas mileage.

Honestly, the only way I found to better my truck (over stock) was to change out the stock Tenneco shocks for Bilsteins (which USED to come standard with the Z71 package). The Tenneco's were too floaty...Bilsteins are just right.

I traded in a '94 GMC Sonoma 4 banger beater pickup. It was time to move up. I have had zero let-downs from my Silverado (after 10 months and 13,600+ miles). I feel horribly about the folks that have had bad experiences. Mine has been flawless. Everyone makes good trucks, everyone makes bad trucks. All I can say is...take a good long test drive and be objective about it. You'll have plenty of time to gloat over it AFTER you've decided it's a good one.
This truck (for 2000) was priced competitively, got the best gas mileage of comparably equipped engines (even better than the 4.8 L Tundra!), had the most power, and the most interior room. I mean, what's to decide?

Test drove the other two full-sized trucks (Dodge and Ford) and a Tundra. Tundra turned me off. Too small, not very rugged. Dodge rode HORRIBLY and I've heard too many nightmares about their rear ends. Ford...nice truck. I would say the main reasons for choosing the Chevy over the Ford were: gas mileage, better price (based off comparably equipped models where I was shopping), and appearance. F-150 looks like a Taurus with a bed if you ask me.

Nothing, THIS IS THE WORST TRUCK ON THE MARKET,THE TRUCK HAS SOME DESIGN
PROBLEMS IN THE DRIVE TRAIN AND SERVICE REPS IN LUBBOCK STATE IT IS NORMAL
TRUCK NOISE. HOGWASH, I FINALLY FOUND A SERVICE REP IN GRAPEVINE THAT WAS
HONEST AND HE TOLD ME ABOUT THE PROBLEMS ALL THE 99 TRKS HAVE BEEN HAVING.

AFTER YOU HAVE DRIVEN THE TRUCK 3000 MILES YOU DEVELOP A KLANK IN THE REAR END (LIKE A U JOINT GOING OUT) THIS WENT ON FOR 6 MONTHS BEFORE A GOOD SERVICE REP TOLD ME ABOUT A NEW GREASE THEY WEAR DEVELOPING. TOOK THE TRUCK IN THEY INSTALLED THE NEW GREASE AND THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT 3000 MILES. I PUT A LOT OF MILES ON A VEHICLE SO I AM REWARDED WITH ABOUT A 6MTH WARRANTY. THE LAST THING WAS THE ABS SYSTEM THAT REPAIR WAS 750.00.

THIS IS NOT A DEPENDABLE QUALITY TRUCK . CHEVROLETS ADVERTISING IS HOGWASH. ALL THAT COMPANY CARES FOR IS SATISFYING STOCK HOLDERS NOT THE CONSUMER.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON A CHEVROLET TRUCK. I PROMISE, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE VEHICLE.
I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY STOPPED TWO FLEET PURCHASES TOTALING 35 TRUCKS AND NUMEROUS OTHER INDIVIDUALS FROM MAKING A GRAVE MISTAKE. HEY CHEVROLET, MY GOAL IS TO COST YOU 3,000,000 IN SALES AND I A APPROACHING MY GOAL.

HAVE NEVER OWNED A CHEV. PURCHASED THIS ONE WITH THE INTENT OF PAYING IT OFF AS A KEEPER. WELL, TO MY DISMAY I WONT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE UP KEEP ON THIS TRUCK.

Loved the looks and interior room, then the fun began.

This is the worst vehicle i have ever owned a true lemon or bad design. In shop many times trying to solve clunk in drivetrain, ujoints, shafts etc no help, GM is now fixing by changing transfer case fluid. transmission shifts hard and will not shift at load on hills, revs and revs then slams in gear. Also window regulators break, ABS computer failed Noises in interior many squeks and rattles. This is just a bad product and GM is doing nothing to solve problems.

NO I WOULD TELL ANYONE TO AVOID THIS TRUCK UNLESS YOU WANT TO DRIVE A CAVALIER RENT A CAR ALL THE TIME

Nothing compares with this piece of junk

Good heater in the middle of the summer.

It's a chevy truck. Always had Ford trucks. I never really hated Chevy I just preferred Ford. This damn Silverado was a poor excuse for a vehicle.

I would not recommend this truck. I had mine for about 8 months and the constant leaks and squeaks and rattling under the hood just made me feel this was poorly made vehicle. The A/C went out after 5 months, gas mileage is far worse than I expected with the 5.3L. Not much torque for pulling a small boat, it almost redlines before the tranny shifts, its not even close to the 2001 Dodge Ram 4X4 5.7L I purchased after dumping the Silverado. GM really blew it with this one. My 93 Dodge Intrepid runs great with few problems while my sisters 99 Monte Carlo is in the shop more than its at home in the driveway. My sons Neon has never broken down and I know he drives that thing like s**t. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm a Dodge owner from here on out. I recommend any Dodge product and Ford Trucks. Will test drive the Durango for possible gift for my wife.

Vibrations are unbarable.

The truck was purchased new in Novemeber of 1999. Since then, I've been to the dealership 3 times & Firestone 4 times. Finally the dealership let me know that the vibrations are a known problem with entended cab Silverado's & GM is working on it. The vibrations are a result of "flexing of frame". There is NO fix in the immediate future. I would definately NOT recommend the 2000' Chevrolet Silverado.

I also drove the 3/4 ton Ford. Hind-sight being 20/20, I wish I had purchased the Ford.

Good power,looks, and good gas mileage.

rattles,spueaks, cold start-up ticking everytime. Now theres a clunking noise in the rear-end or driveshaft. Its somewhere back there when i go over a speedbump.

I paid about 27,500 for this thing called a chevrolet. This is no chevrolet, sure it has power, but will this truck last 100,000 miles?
Honestly, im a chevrolet man and i would not recommend a chevrolet this model. I would recommend one the year 98 or 97. I need to get this truck fixed or ditch it and get a ford superduty.
