My Unbreakable Silverado
We bought our Chevy Silverado in 2004 (just about brand new). Now it has about 99,000 miles and barely anything has gone wrong. It is by far the most dependable thing we've ever owned. All we do is beat on this truck and the more we beat on it the more it seems to like it. We've taken it just about anywhere you can take a truck (off road and them some) and have hit some big off road ditches and scraped the bottom and it didn’t harm the vehicle, thanks to the Z71 package with skidplates. The motor is unstoppable. It’s a 5.3 V8 or same as a 327 and it will smoke the tires if you tell it to.
It also has everything to make you happy, including the heated leather seats. It has also hauled more than most 1-ton trucks will and it’s only a half ton truck. The gas mileage is respectable, even when towing. We were also able to haul a tractor, plowing discs, and an ATV all on the same load!!! No problem. And after we were done beating on it for 4 days and putting on 804 miles, it drove like it was brand new! You just can't stop it and it is the best truck I’ve driven and I will always have lots of respect. Basically, it has changed my life. I couldn’t live without it or nothing would ever get done and it’s also my favorite toy!!! And the new ones are even better!!!
I LOVE MY CHEVY TRUCK!!
Note: The Silverado with the Z71 package and the 5.3L V8 was available from 1997-2004. The Z71 package was available only on 4 wheel drive models and had Z71 decals on the sides of the bed.
