Bought the 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 brand new in 2003. Has 4WD, A/C, and limited slip differential. 5.3L has plenty of horsepower for towing or passing. I take this truck all over the country from sea level to 14,000 ft. Last winter I went over La Veta pass (12,000 ft) Pulling a 3,000 lb trailer and a broken down 2004 Ford F150. Didn't even slow down. 130,000 miles on truck and nothing wrong yet. Only change fluids, battery and tires.

I bought this truck a little over a year ago from a listing off Craigslist. It had a few issues, but I had them fixed quick, and it has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned. There are no rattling or noises with the motor or transmission. The truck only has 100k miles on it for as old as it is. I plan to get antique tags for it soon. I wouldn't trade this vehicle for anything. It allows me to easily attach a trailer and haul as many items or anything I would like. It also has four-wheel drive, so therefore getting stuck in the mud is no longer an issue. The interior does need to be replaced as the cloth on the seats has ripped and the ceiling is started to shed. The carpet could also stand to be replaced. Other than those visual issues, it's an excellent vehicle. I also love that all my family can ride in it at once. With four doors, the backseat is easily accessible. The truck will also accommodate car seats or booster seats for the little ones really well. Cup holders in the back and front as well as lots of cubby spots to hold different items, making this vehicle great for a long trip or vacation. The front seat will safely hold three persons while the back will hold two and a car seat or three persons.
