Bought the 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 brand new in 2003. Has 4WD, A/C, and limited slip differential. 5.3L has plenty of horsepower for towing or passing. I take this truck all over the country from sea level to 14,000 ft. Last winter I went over La Veta pass (12,000 ft) Pulling a 3,000 lb trailer and a broken down 2004 Ford F150. Didn't even slow down. 130,000 miles on truck and nothing wrong yet. Only change fluids, battery and tires.

I have had this vehicle for over 12 years. It has been extremely reliable. Being an extended cab, it has easily carried my family, work clients and more tools than I can count. The bed of the truck has a heavy duty liner plus a hard cover that hinge folds out of the way when necessary. So the bed has been heavily used to carry equipment to remain dry as well as many loads of lumber for home improvement jobs. Well used, well loved!
