2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 2WD User Reviews

Pros

reliable, hauls goods when friends cars' can't!, looks good

Cons

poor mpg, silverados look too low to ground

Purchased As Not Purchased

I highly recommend Silverados. They are dependable and actually carry stuff. If you need a long bed and room for more passengers, there are Silverados for that, too.

This is the second GM pick up that I have owned and they are by far the better looking trucks on the road. Ford is close but not close enough. I just purchased a Texas Edition LT1 Chevy about 5 months ago and it's been great on everything from power to gas milage.

Pros

great look, decent power considering its a 4.8 v8...got a great deal on it!

Cons

still only getting 16 mpg.

Purchased As New

this is my second truck, before this I had a 2005 F250 lariat powerstroke disel..and although these two trucks are not compariable in many ways such as it was a disel and i got like 8mpg on it, i would have to say for its class i would go with the Siverado, the Fords are way more overpriced for what you are getting, the ride is a bit more rough than chevy, the new look for the F150 sucks and mpg wise fords are terrible compared to the chevys! i have never been a fan of the other makers such as dodge and toyota so i would not recommend those..especially toyota, i just cant see myself buying a foreign truck! Overall if you want a good reliable truck that you can almost steal from the dealer pricewise right now, i got mine out the door for 26,000...sticker price is around 31,000 (not including tax and licenses)...chevrolet is the way to go....read morehide

Pros

pulls the boat and my mowing trailer

Cons

not alot of horses for the size, need dual exhaust from factory

Purchased As New

Purchased new to replace a small SUV. I drove most all on test drives, and liked the Chevy. The price was amazing compared to the Ford. I have drove to St. Loius and Eastern Iowa a bunch from Omaha. Very nice ride. I would recomend a KN filter and a set of more agressive tires. I get about 18mpg, 17.5 pulling my boat from southern Missouri to Omaha. So far I am happy with Chevy, my wife wants her own now....read morehide

Pros

Great ride and realiability

Cons

gas mileage is a bit lower than I would like 17 mpg, but it is good for a truck.

I've had this truck 2008 Silverado for over a year and a half, and it is great. 30,000 miles per year,and it has not given me any problems.

Purchased As New

Very pleased with vehicle at 3500 miles. Fuel economy as predicted. Towing ability amazing compared to Sport Trac I was driving.

Pros

Power

Cons

Bad fuel economy

After my lease on my 2005 Silverado was up, I knew my next truck would be another Silverado. I traded in my 2005 5.3L 2WD Crew Cab for a 2009 5.3L 2WD Crew Cab Texas Edition. The new six speed transmission is different to get used to. Amazing ground clearance; nice and high! Gas mileage is iffy...On my old truck a 250 mile road trip took me approximately half a tank...on this new one the same road trip eats through 3/4 tank. I'm hoping the results get better as time goes on. As of now I'm averaging 15.1 MPG with 3000 miles on the odometer. A lot of great features like bluetooth, six CD changer and a lot more make this truck stand out from the rest. Standard OnStar is a real neat feature. All in all, this truck hauls major....you know what. Lots of power and exceptional Chevy quality make this truck a good buy....read morehide

Pros

I get about 18 miles per gal with mixed hwy & city driving with the big V-8!

Cons

Nothing!!!

Purchased As New

I love my truck!! All the power and looks you could want in a truck! I have own other trucks (Dodge & Ford), though the ford was nice, the Chevy has everything. I have a silverado 2001 outside that is paid for with over 150k on it. That truck has never broken down and still pulls just as strong as the first day I bought it. Also still hold resale value....read morehide

Pros

Fuel Economy Smooth ride

Purchased As New

I went down to my local dealer to get a service for my 2003 chevy, I took a walk around the lot and a black silverado caught my eye. I thought that there was no way they could build a better truck than my '03... I was wrong. It was by far the nicest truck I have ever driven, and with the rebates and financing I feel like I stole it. The only complaint that I have is that it doesn't drive itself. My V-8 5.3 liter gets an average of 16.5 mpg. The freeway is around 22mpg(if you drive the speed limit on cruise control)...read morehide

My first Chevy after many Fords. I love this truck! The traction system almost negates the need for 4wd, even here in WI.

I get a real 17 MPG, more on highway. Quiet, handles good, plenty of power.

I have the 2007 LT 4door.
