What Owners Say
"Very good handling especially while pulling the camper. Just driving it on the highway I would rather use it than my car if the mileage was not so low but 38 compared to 17 I must go with the car for travel"

Robert W., AL (2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500)"Acceleration is excellent. Not always comfortable for long distance riding."
Anonymous, GA (2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500)"It drives like a much smaller vehicle. Very much better handling than a Ford F 150. Easy to park, fast acceleration, reasonably soft on bumpy roads."
Geir B., TX (2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500)"Acceleration performance of the 5.3L is still very good. Many of the miles are spent on pavement and the ride is better than even the newer 4WD pickups."
