Used Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for Sale

I like the truck because it has a nice lift kit and pre-runner look to it. Unfortunately with the lift kit and larger tires comes an increased gas bill. I enjoy driving my truck so I can sacrifice the extra money in gas. I would like to install a new light bar on the truck. I have in mind a 50 inch LED light bar over the windshield that would make it bright as day. Coupled with the KNN air filter, the exhaust system makes for a nice throaty growl. Cruising along the freeway, the tires make a lot of noise since they are mud terrain tires. It is good for off roading, but not so good for the freeway. I recently tinted the windows which helps in the hot summer since my air conditioning system does not work properly. It needs a new air conditioning compressor. I intend to replace this in the somewhat near future. For a 1992 with 184,000 miles, this truck runs very well. Although it does give some slight mechanical issues from time to time, there have been no major issues to speak of since purchasing the vehicle over a year ago. Hopefully it stays that way! Overall the exterior is in very good condition with the exception of the roof paint chipping. This is another project I intend to take on in the somewhat near future.

The 5.3L V8 delivered a respectable 15mpg. It seats 5 with ample leg room for all. The bed of the truck provides corner tie downs sufficient for bundling the largest of loads. *Nugget* Being one of the most common trucks on the road today, it is easy to find parts in stock at dedicated automotive stores and even basic maintenance items that fit correctly at generic big box stores. With the tall 17" wheels, ground clearance is significant allowing easier maneuverability through the thick stuff.

The Silverado serves its function as a pickup truck, while maintaining a stylish look and even the interior of the WT trim feels slightly upgraded. Acceleration takes a bit to get used to due to the new 6 speed transmission. This is the fourth Chevy truck I have owned in the past 15 years with a Vortec 4.3l engine. The 2015 version is by far the most powerful at 285hp. I am a little disappointed with the tires, a low end upgrade from the 255/70/17's offered on a lot of the models I shopped for. This truck was delivered with Bridgestone AT's 265/70/17. The tires don't seem to grip that well and prefer to spin (especially on takeoff from a stop).
