2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - Good Truck
I own a full size king cap Chevy Silverado 1500. Living on a farm this truck can pull its own. I have a full size tractor and the truck can pull the trailer with the tractor on it. With me being 6 foot 8 inches tall, it is hard for me to find a vehicle that will give me enough room to be comfortable to drive and not feel like I am in a tuna can. The quality seems good with the truck but this is my second truck in a 5 year time both the same model and I have had a total of 15 recalls on the truck. The last one after having the transmission recalled and the dealer keeping the truck for a month to fix it, two months later the engine blew up on the truck. The truck performs great, just got back from a vacation and brought home a 26' RV and the truck pulled it full and had no problems with ... (more)

The truck performs great, just got back from a vacation and brought home a 26' RV and the truck pulled it full and had no problems with it. Having two out of three of our children who are tall like me, the truck is able to fit all five of my family members with no issues of people getting squashed. This truck is able to go off road with no issues. It also has features in it that my wife likes.
I was able to teach my old daughter and son how to drive with this truck. I had them put it in reverse and drive the truck all over our ten acres in reverse. Told them if they can drive in reverse without hitting anything then they are ready for their licenses. When my oldest daughter did this her younger siblings wanted to ride with her because it was fun. You could hear them laughing.

This truck is able to pull my farm trailer with a tractor on it with no issues. Having a farm with horses, I have to bring in hay monthly and the truck will pull the trailer with 5 bales of hay on it. There is a lot of room in the truck which is something I look for when looking for a vehicle. The bed of the truck already had a protector on it which was good so the truck would not get scratched up. The front seats had its own heater to it, which is great for my wife and oldest daughter who are cold all the time. The seat adjustment is another good feature on the truck because my wife is on...

The front seats had its own heater to it, which is great for my wife and oldest daughter who are cold all the time. The seat adjustment is another good feature on the truck because my wife is only 5'3" and I am 6'8", so being able to adjust the driver's seat is good. There is a rear camera which has been a life-saver multiple times with me and my wife driving. The Bluetooth connection is another good feature that put me on wanting this truck. The side step has been a great feature for my wife and for me when I have had to get assistance on getting in and out of the truck. The last feature that I enjoy is the separate temperature adjustment. This has been great because between my wife and I, we can never figure out the temperature. One is hot the other is cold. This has helped on keeping us both happy.
The top negative thing about this vehicle would have to be the price for one. I did not want to spend a lot of money on a vehicle but because a regular pick up truck would not hold me, it would have been dangerous for me to drive the other vehicles because I was squished in the trucks. Because of this I had to buy a truck that had other options in it that really did not matter to me at the time.
The next item would be the XM radio and OnStar that was in the truck. With having a Bluetooth in the truck itself, I got better music and directions with my phone than I did with the software that... (more)

The next item would be the XM radio and OnStar that was in the truck. With having a Bluetooth in the truck itself, I got better music and directions with my phone than I did with the software that was put in the truck. The extra charge of having that system was just not worth the charge of it. The recalls on the truck: This has been the best truck for me but because of the two years of having this truck I have had to take it in for a recall almost every three months. I have three recalls on it right now. Two of them are with the seat belt that took the company 6 months to figure out how to fix the issue before fixing it.

While driving home from work on the freeway, my husband noticed a driver of a BMW in the next lane, texting. A few minutes later he felt a sharp slamming impact to the side of our truck, then nothing. My husband corrected course a bit, and continued down the freeway.

While driving home from work on the freeway, my husband noticed a driver of a BMW in the next lane, texting. A few minutes later he felt a sharp slamming impact to the side of our truck, then nothing. My husband corrected course a bit, and continued down the freeway. Several minutes later the BMW passed in the next lane, with a big dent/imprint of our truck tire in the side of their car - evidently they had drifted out of their lane and into our truck. When he got home, my husband checked the truck, and there was not a scratch on it. "Chevy Trucks - Beamers bounce off!"
Smooth ride, corners well, great brakes, towing capability, luxurious interior with heated seats and ambient lighting at night, OnStar service and Sirius XM radio trial packages included, as well as a 4G hotspot, so you are never without your internet connection!

Sharp body lines, lights, tire rims, decorative paint striping all come together to make this truck a gem.

This particular model had fabric seats instead of the preferred, more durable leather ones. In addition to the heated seats there should have been the air cooled seat option, since this truck was shipped to Florida. The glass tint film is a necessity here but it appears to have irregular edges so the installation wasn't the best. The seat adjustments have forward-back, and tilt, but no vertical rise/height adjustment, so I need to use a pillow to see over the hood. The tiny round magnifying mirror on each of the sideview mirrors is too small to be significantly useful, and we had to ad... (more)
