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 co...

Story

I once drove out to swim in the Colorado River with two of my close friends, my two dogs, and one of my friend's dog. My front seat is a bench so we sat three-wide in the front, and the dogs all sat in the back. The dogs were so excited on the drive out and then swam all day together. The drive home was silent, as they were all sacked out asleep on top of each other in the back seat. It was un... (more)

Pros

Design, reliability, price

Cons

MPG, no aux/CD, manual locks/windows

2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - My dependable Chevy Silverado 1500

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 tech... (more)

Story

When I used my truck for Uber, my passengers were always excited/thrilled to be in a nice truck, as opposed to some fuel efficient small car. I always felt very proud picking people up in my truck.

Pros

My favorite features include the color of the truck ( I love driving a white vehicle in Texas because of the heat, the truck stays cooler). I love the extended cab because I have a two year old daughter and there is plenty of room for a child seat. I am also please with the engine efficiency as I previously owned a Dodge Dakota which was smaller, and I feel like the mileage on the Silverado is as good or better despite being larger.

Cons

I would prefer more digital offerings in the cab such as built in navigation and better entrainment features. The tires that came with the truck aren't as large as some comparable trucks, and sometimes I think it looks less cool than other trucks on the road. Also I do occasionally hear some type of rattling sound when I put the engine into reverse, and being that there is only 15,000 miles I think things should be pretty quiet.
