2005 Chevrolet Silverado

Pros: V8 HP and noticeable quietness of running engine

Cons: Fuel economy and lack of room behind seats

The Bottom Line: Good truck for the money. Better power than other's in class. Stick with small V8 over V6 for better fuel economy.

Review: Overall this truck is just what a person would be looking for. My dad owns a 2004 GMC Sierra with a 4.3L V6, work truck package, pretty much the base model. This truck is the same but the Chevrolet line with a few extras. This has the 4.8L V8 motor ...

Pros: Excellent gas mileage - excellent resale / trade in value

Cons: 5.5' bed - steering column problem on ALL Silverados for last 4 or 5 years

The Bottom Line: Great truck - last 2 Chevy trucks were far superior to any other trucks I had owned previously

Review: I had a 2004 regular cab Silverado with 18000 miles and went to the dealer for an oil change in February 2005. While the '04 was being serviced I noticed some '05 crew cabs in the back lot worth $19,990 prices on the windshields. I asked my salesman what ...

Pros: POWER, COMFORT, DRIVES LIKE A CAR NOT A HEAVY DUTY TRUCK

Cons: POOR DESIGN ON MIRRORS CHEVY FIXED ON 2006 AND WILL UPGRADE YOU

The Bottom Line: I would recomend this to anyone considering a truck for hauling it is awesome!

Review: In January of 2005 we got the bad news that our 97 ford f-350 power stroke diesel was losing compression. Economically it made more sense to buy new than to rebuild this one(having 340,000 miles on truck). I have had 7 trucks 4 fords and 3 chevys. After ...

Pros: Roomy,Powerful and smooth, Good ride lots of options,

Cons: Have not found any yet but will let you know if I find any

The Bottom Line: If you have a truck but need more room this is something to look at I would recommend this for any body that likes atruck but wants more room

Review: I have been looking for a new truck to replace the 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2 Wheel Drive 1500 with 4.3 V6 which the lease was coming up on. Since I was satisfied with the last Silverado I started my search there and first looked at a Siverado HD 2500 ...

Pros: Great all around 4x4 truck

Cons: Fuel prices for the big V-8

Review: Purchased the 1500 4x4 Extended Cab Dec-04, have had it now for a few months. Was really impressed with the 5300 V-8, can't tell the difference when the beds loaded or empty. Excellent cab features, as if someone who actually drives this stuff got to ...

Pros: Comfortable,easily controlled.

Cons: Gasoline thirsty V8

Review: This is the ultimate truck. The 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 1500. This is an excellent machine. I have driven lots of vehicles and this is my favorite one to date. It has amazing power and torque. This(in my opinion)is probably the most powerful truck ...

Pros: Excellent for hauling lots of stuff including the family.

Cons: No trunk, no standard child safety locks, and no side door air bags.

The Bottom Line: The 2005 Chevrolet Silverado is true to the new, chic wave of big family trucks. It's got the juice and 4X4 power for wet and dry roads.

Review: As practical as the warning is against living above your means sometimes having a third vehicle in the driveway can be a real treat. We recently rented the 2005 Silverado Half-Ton Crew Cab Z71 for seven days and seven nights enjoying all the power ...

Pros: Quiet, powerful diesel engine, luxury interior, excellent fit and finish.

Cons: Smokes on hard acceleration due to turbo lag, turbocharger design, High cost of diesel fuel.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this truck. I'm not a professional driver, but I know quality when I see it.

Review: I purchased the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4X4 with the Duramax Diesel (built by Izuzu) in October 2004. The truck has a standard cab with 8' box. The truck has the LS package with Allison automatic transmission, cloth power bucket seats, ...

Pros: good highway mileage, very comfortable, roomy enough for 6 including 2 car seats

Cons: bad 4 wheel drive sensor, bad city mileage

The Bottom Line: My 6'4" father has sat in the back seat and was only mildly cramped. Good truck. Buy one.

Review: I down-graded from my F-350 quad cab long bed to this truck, mostly because of gas mileage. My old truck was just too expensive to drive, especially since it's 2 1/2 hours to go to the nearest town of much size (which I do about every 6 weeks). We ...

Pros: Value, best blend of performance, features, looks, ruggedness. A real truck.

Cons: Hope it's as reliable as my old Toyota.

Review: I'm replacing my 10 year old Toyota Truck with a bigger Chevy; this is my first American nameplate! So far, so good. The V8 engine is smooth and efficient, actually having the best gas mileage of all the trucks I compared. Looked at all the others and ...
