We've gone through one other "family" cars since we bought our black Chevy Silverado 1500 Pickup in 2001. We call it, "Old Reliable." Never expected the truck to still be in excellent shape after 17 years. And that's inside and out. Other than regularly scheduled maintenance and cleaning and waxing, it has never required anything other than the periodic replacement of one inexpensive part, which I will explain in the cons. We've used it to haul supplies, wood, animals, building materials and gravel. It's been used to pulled a camping trailer and, once, a moving trailer over 2,500 miles. Always reliable.

This truck is a wonderful vehicle. There is currently 203,000 miles on it and it is a true work horse. It is used mainly on the farm and it can tear through mud with no problem. The rough terrain of the farm has no affect on the truck. It is equipped with Bluetooth which I love because I don't have to hold my phone to talk to someone while I am driving.
