Used 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for Sale

One fun/ memorable story with this vehicle is that we take it on every vacation we go on. I remember once, we took it to Memphis, and all our luggage was in the back of the truck. It started raining, so we pulled over and threw all our luggage in the back. That's when I realized how much space we had. We had 2 kids in car seats, 2 suit cases, a stroller, and my husbands bow that he'd just bought and it all fit in the back.

Drove it down Schnebly Hill Road to bypass a highway closure. Had never been on the road but was a suggestion from our GPS (never trust GPS). It said it was a 13-mile dirt road, so I figured my truck would be fine. The first couple miles were just a dirt, but not too rough, and wide enough for two cars with a drop off on one side. We kept going, but the road kept getting worse, larger rocks, some areas where only one car would fit. The mountain was steep on the inside and a large drop-off on the other, no shoulder. We were about 5-7 miles in when I began to worry about my truck making it if the road got much worse. The only problem was turning around on the tight road was just as dangerous. My friends and I decided to just keep going. A few times, a friend had to jump out and guide me thru some pretty sketching areas. The worse was an almost two-foot drop off a rock ledge. It was too late to turn around. We watched another truck going slowly first and saw it scrape the entire underside, so we took the other side. Basically, I gunned the engine to try to "jump" and prevent the scraping as much as possible. We landed with just a little scraping in the back. After a few deep breaths, we kept going, praying nothing worse was ahead. Thankfully, that was the worse of it. We still had large rocks, deep potholes, and rough road, but no more ledges. As we neared the end, we saw a pull-out with large boulders and a bunch of Jeep Tours stopped there. We pulled off to take a break and get some photos of the beautiful scenery. One of the tour drivers commented to me about being able to get my truck down that road without four-wheel drive. That was the most difficult, white knuckle, stressful driving I have ever done, but also the most fun, adventurous time I had. Definitely not going down it again, but I do brag that I made it down in my truck and it's still in one piece.
