Used Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for Sale in Poulsbo, WA

I bought my Chevy Silverado truck from a friend about 3 years ago and it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. When I bought it, it had about 170K miles on it. At this point, I have it up over 200k and it is still running strong. The biggest issue that I've had with it, is having to replace the starter. It is a great truck for having out in the woods, and the 4 wheel drive is an absolute necessity for those muddy treks into the great unknown. I also love how high you sit in the cab, you really feel in control and safe when you are driving. It's not necessarily a big truck, but it feels bigger when you are driving it. I have been pleased with it's ability to haul a load and there is plenty of room in the bed for most of the every day hauling the average person may do. I'm not the handiest guy, but being able to do a few things to keep my truck running is important to me. With a lot of the newer vehicles these days, you open the hood, and everything is so smashed together that any thing you want to try to do becomes a hassle. With this truck, you have plenty of room to navigate your way around, and hopefully save yourself a little money with less trips to the mechanic. It's still a great looking truck and even if it is starting to get a little old, I continue to be very pleased with it's performance.

I bought the vehicle because of a number of features that it has. It is a crew cab, which I needed because we (the family, 3 members) often traveled together. It has a nearly full size bed, and I'd used a truck a lot. It has the AFM (fuel management) system, so that whenever possible, the engine ran in 4 cylinder mode for efficiency. It has an auto-lock differential, and I'd gotten stuck with trucks that didn't have that. It has flex fuel capability. I found that I'd made a good choice, in that all of these features worked, though my driving habits kind of nullified one of them. The cab is cavernous, giving more room than most other options. The bed size has always been big enough to do the job I needed. The AFM system works great. I have gotten up to 30 mpg on the road, and typically average 25 mpg. Around town it does drop because start and stop driving makes it run in 8 cylinder mode a lot, so average is around 20 mpg. The auto-lock differential has only kicked in a few times, on wet pavement, so I've not gotten to test it in snow or mud. But I'm confident in it from what I've read. The flex fuel feature I found isn't a good choice where I live, a long way from where flex fuel is made. The long transport of such fuel allows water to be absorbed by the fuel, and it led to my having to get some new fuel injectors. I have one interior failure, the vinyl covering on the center console has cracked a bit. But in general, I really like the truck, and it still amazes me that such a large vehicle can average 25 mpg when driving down the highway.
