Also the 6.2L got the craptastic 8 speed starting in 2015.

Not the worst GM design, but the squared off wheel wells are hideous and still are. AFM made a beautifully simple and reliable LS engine a ticking time bomb. The 2015 transmissions told the unreliable 4L60E, "Hold my beer!!"

The steering wheel isn't centered with the driver's seat, which can't be unseen once you notice it.

I feel sorry for you if you can't find a normal truck beautiful.

I will forever love my dad's '83 silvy - wish I had it now.

In the meantime, I agree with most that the sweet spot for Silvys is '08-'12 or so. Some evidence:

Here's a hint:

Starting with the GMT900 in 2007, GM discontinued building normal trucks. They have only gotten worse with the 2014 model year and up

One of the weaker Chevy front ends.


2005, tho... That was a great design.

I have a 2018 that I am hoping to trade in before the end of the year. I have always owned a Chevy, but I have my eye on Ford Powerboost and just hoping there will be some deals in November or December.

I always hated what Chevy did with the front of the Silverado from 2003-2006. It looks like two separate trucks hacked together. The original GMT800 front end flowed with the rest of the truck design much better.



But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

Between AFM, 6L80e programming, and broken A/C components, they're not reliable trucks. Top that off with the looks of it being worse than any other GM truck

Completely agree so it isn't just your opinion.

I like both, but prefer the original.

I had a 2014 Silverado and never noticed that the steering wheel was not centered. Several cars over the years have done this, the 14-18 Silverado was on the same platform as the previous model.

This is a joke post, right? Those bug eyed chevys were the absolute worst.

Oh my God can agree more! The Chevys for most of the 2000s have been terrible. I do dig the new body style.

My 2015 Silverado went into limp mode and I took it to get the code, which was cylinder 5 misfire. I replaced spark plug, wire, injector, and coil pack. None of it fixed it. Finally found out that it either dropped a valve or rolled a cam lobe. I said F it I'll rebuild it with performance parts. LT engines are a lot more expensive than LS engines. Silvy helped a lot on what I need for the cam! Been a long journey on my first rebuild. I was able to drive it Saturday, but still need torque converter, driveshaft and a tune to be done.

My 2014 Silverado has been great (knock on wood)

-165k miles so far
-AFM disabled at 15k miles
-Full Synthetic Oil every 5k
-Trans flush every 25k
-One Battery change a year ago
-Third set of tires
-A/C completely rebuilt a year ago but that was only $1400

Maybe it's a unicorn

Mine too but AFM is still on. Also rebuilt whole AC last year, now it's freezing cold. But I only have 100k so hoping it's got a couple more years left.

I've never really noticed this until now, and now I hate it.
