Used Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for Sale in Austin, TX

I bought my 2012 Chevrolet Silverado because I am a woodworker, and I need a solid truck without any frills. Because I have two dogs who travel with me often, I opted for the extended cab, which has proven to be a great decision. The truck is solid, drives well, has ice cold a/c, and hasn't given me a single problem at over 100,000 miles. The truck bed easily fits 4'x8' sheets of plywood and anything else I might need to throw back there. Because I view this truck as my "work car," I opted for a simple package: there are not power locks or windows, and there is not an aux cord or even a CD player. Although this can be inconvenient at times, I appreciate the simplicity and find that it's just fewer things to possibly go wrong, as I intend to drive this car indefinitely. The price was competitive with other trucks of its size but I opted for the Chevrolet Silverado because I love the shape of it. It's boxy and simple - an homage to simpler times, when trucks were associated with ranching and blue collar work. The truck is pleasing to look at but does not draw too much attention to its self. My only wish would be for better MPG, but that is hard to come by with a truck in my price range. It is simple in every sense of the word, but more importantly, reliable.

I like the vehicle from a number of standpoints including the way it looks, the height it give me off of the road, and the way it handles. I use my truck for part time jobs including Uber, an onsite trash removal service, and then for personal use. I have never had a problem with the vehicle at any point. I purchased the vehicle new from a dealership when it had 5,000 miles on it. The truck had been used as a dealer service truck, and a close friend is the general manager of that dealership. He made me a terrific offer on the truck that I could not pass up. I always drove cars, but upon moving to Texas, decided to make the transition to a truck and have been very happy with the experience. The only thing I would have preferred about this vehicle is a better cabin experience from a technology standpoint. There is no inboard navigation or other advanced digital screens that I see in similarly priced trucks. Another feature I enjoy is steps on the back bumper that allow me to step in and out of the truck bed easily.
