Silverado
Pros: The truck
Cons: Preformance
Poor gas mileage. No power. Must downshift to go up a slight incline.Has problems pulling an empty utility trailer. Dealer says everything is OK.Excellant Truck!
Pros: the smooth drivetrain.
Cons: nothing
Good initial build quality and after a year and a half, it's never been back to the dealer except for oil changes. the new 6 speed transmission is very smooth compared to the old four speed. Great power, quiet interior and smooth ride. I'd buy another one tomorrow.2009 Crew Cab
Pros: The roomy interior
Cons: MPG
Love everything about the truck except the mileage. At best I get about 18 MPG on the highway at 65 MPH. In town I average 13 MPG.Pros: I like GM quality.
Cons: The base vehicle has a black grill,bumper, and surround. It turns off a volume vehicle.
Advice: Be aware that XFE model is not geared to be a good tow vehicle. Need better rear options
Holds road well. Good access to interior.
