What a workhorse!

My pickup is a work truck and that is what I do with it. The only major component I have had to fix was the transmission. But I had 250,000 miles on it at the time. I commute on average about 100 miles per day hauling around all my tools and materials for jobs. I cannot say enough about the reliability of the 4.3L V6. I currently have 306k miles on it and it runs like a champ. It will tow anything I have to.

Love it

I have. 250,000 miles on this baby and it is still going strong. I wouldn't trade it in for another truck. Love my 2008 Chevy Silverado. I bought this truck brand new and it's been nothing but good to me.

To many problems

The truck has had levels replaced twice in 60 days, fuel pump, oil sensors, windows, air bags, oil pump, sensors valus and I’m sure I’m forgetting something. I contacts GM they were zero help! I mean zero! GM used to stand behind their product…. Not anymore. Just disappointed. Won’t buy another Chevy product ever! And I own 3.

A good investment

My Chevy 1500 has served my needs with minimum issues or repairs. I hope Chevy continues to build light trucks with gasoline powered engines. Electric car are ok but when you need a serious platform to do heavy work the combustion engine has served us well.

I love my truck. I looked a long time for a vehicle. I bought this one after traveling to Waldorf, Md and new jersey looking at vehicles. i even went so far as to possibly going to Illinois for a rusted out suburban, Thank God I didn't. I feel this truck was meant for me. Whoever had it took very good care of it.

Best all around vehicle I ever had.

Rides as smooth and quiet as any car that I had. The long wheel bass, provides for a relaxed drive. The higher cab provide excellent visibility under all conditions. Vehical has over 180,000 miles and shows no evidence of quiting.

I love my 2008 Silverado 1500 2 Door 6 Cylinder 2X2

Some would call this truck a "plain Jane" but it glides along easy as pie for a smooth ride and has everything I need. I would call my truck a driver because I have used it very little for hauling or for any other work for that matter. I'm a big boy and this truck is still very roomie. I keep up on the maintenance and am very confident that the old boy will take me where ever I need to go and back home sweet home. This truck will last me for the rest of my days.

LOVE!!

love my truck! Bought used from a dealer and 1 previous owner, who took care of it. Have had no major issues ( 4 yrs now) . Handles and rides great! One complaint...rear wheel well rusting!! Is a major cosmetic repair and not necessary but looks so bad! This is something Chevy should work on.

Great Truck

Good daily driver and work horse. I bought it with over 170,000 miles so I knew I took a chance. The body and frame was in good shape, but the motor and tranny was ready to go which I found out after another 15,000 miles..(-: Can't win em all.

Silverado 2008

This truck has a solid motor but the truck was built during a period when Chevy had low quality parts. All sorts of issues from hubs wearing out. Standard issue on Silverados. To issues with wiring falling apart and major electrical problems. Chevy overall failed on this vehicle and might actually switch to Ford or Dodge on the next truck.

Good all around truck.

Bought this 2008 Silverado from original owner. Had 94k on it and was in really good shape, I’ve always driven Ford trucks and was still leaning towards Ford when I saw this Chevy. Glad I got it and it definitely rides better than the Fords. As far as a work truck, I think Ford still rules. But this is a great looks and driving pickup, it’s got almost 150k on it now and still going strong.

2008 Chevy Silverado

I really like my truck; however, for over a year now I have been having an issue with headlights. One or the other invariably stops working! I know it is a connection problem and can be fixed relatively easily, but why can't the connection be permanent??

For the most part I like it. But......

Seems that the rear fender wells (over the tires) have decided to rust badly. One would think I live close to the ocean but I am in the mountains.... I have seen this problem with a bunch of these chevy trucks. My truck is an 08 and very well cared for. Rides nice and I have had no issues with the Engine or Trans. That being said I'm really disappointed with this rust problem. I have seen many, many 30 year old trucks made by Chevy and even others (made by other motor corporations) that don't have this rear well rusting issue. Mine is 12 yrs old. W,T,F? I will think about this next time I look for a new truck.

Runs great but wheel panels rusting out around bolts/rivets above back wheels

Runs great but wheel panels rusting out around bolts/rivets above back wheels. I have seen this problem visually on the roads with other 1500's. The front is in beautiful shape. Don't know if I will purchase another Chevy.

Tinny

Way overpriced and over hyped. A tinny lemon. Flimsy. These vehicles have not gotten better over time. Major fails in spire of a high level of maintenance. Built for car people. Terrible front end design. Cheap materials throughout. Today’s Chevrolet

Best truck I've ever owned

This is my third pickup. Previous vehicles have all been compromises, one way or another. Aside from the fact that finding an extended cab with a full eight-foot bed is apparently impossible, it is great. Mileage is good, power is good, seating and accessories are excellent.
