Used Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for Sale

This is the third pickup truck I have owned and most certainly the best yet. It was purchased on a whim while I was getting the oil changed in my second truck. I saw the features it had, such as leather seats, sliding rear window, and a USB port for an i-device. I decided to take it for a test drive and was glad I did. Even though my truck at the time had a V8 engine (4.8L) this one was a tad bit bigger (5.3L) and plenty of power to boot. I was able to accelerate and handle it with no problem; no issues with braking either. The leather seats were a very pleasant treat from the cloth ones I had become accustomed to (side note: one thing I wish it did have were HEATED leather seats for the winter. Brrrrrrrrrrr). Plenty of room in the cabin for myself and 4 of my closest friends. I did like the redesign of the 2010 Silverado compared to my 2006 Silverado. The back windows in the extended cab went down, which was a real plus when I drove alone. After the test drive I decided it was time to treat myself right: I traded in my truck and bought this beauty. I have had it ever since and have loved every second driving it.

This is the ultimate in family comfort and luxury. The Chevy Suburban is at the top of the list. It the roomiest of any vehicles and full of extras if wanted. It is beefy in all the right places and is suited for any job no matter how hard or big it might be. I have used my Suburban for pulling my 30' travel trailer as far as Bath Maine. It has never given me any problems other than normal road wear. Comfort is the word I would use when I travel for long distances. Plenty of room for 4 kids and the wife and I. Plus all the room in the back. The kids have plenty of room to move around. Since driving my Suburban I have had to order larger side mirrors. Of all the great things about the Chevy Suburban the only drawback is the size of the side mirrors. They just are not large enough for the length of the Suburban. This would be the only complaint I would have. This would and did take care of the massive blind spots. Because of the extra care involved with the design of this vehicle I can honestly say that it has spent less time in the garage than my other vehicles. She is pushing right at 300,000 miles on the original motor. The amazing thing is of all things the gas millage. I have driven from my house to Richlands West Virginia on a single tank of gas. that was almost 250 miles. That was quite impressive for the mountains and all. As far as repair costs that is another set back. It is quite expensive for repair costs because of how complex the design of the vehicle. But well worth the cost. The Suburban is the smoothest drive you will ever have and power when and where you need it. Quite the most fun driving experience you can have in a big truck. As I said plenty of power for anything you might need it for. Superb breaking and agility for a vehicle of its size. The most important feature is the feeling of total safety in this vehicle.

I like the truck because it has a nice lift kit and pre-runner look to it. Unfortunately with the lift kit and larger tires comes an increased gas bill. I enjoy driving my truck so I can sacrifice the extra money in gas. I would like to install a new light bar on the truck. I have in mind a 50 inch LED light bar over the windshield that would make it bright as day. Coupled with the KNN air filter, the exhaust system makes for a nice throaty growl. Cruising along the freeway, the tires make a lot of noise since they are mud terrain tires. It is good for off roading, but not so good for the freeway. I recently tinted the windows which helps in the hot summer since my air conditioning system does not work properly. It needs a new air conditioning compressor. I intend to replace this in the somewhat near future. For a 1992 with 184,000 miles, this truck runs very well. Although it does give some slight mechanical issues from time to time, there have been no major issues to speak of since purchasing the vehicle over a year ago. Hopefully it stays that way! Overall the exterior is in very good condition with the exception of the roof paint chipping. This is another project I intend to take on in the somewhat near future.
