Our Chevrolet Silverado is one of the best vehicles we have ever owned. We bought this as a back-up vehicle but is has now become our main source of transportation. It is reliable, regardless of its age...2000. We have a cap on the truck bed, and because of that feature, we are able to safely and securely carry our groceries and many other items that we need to remodel and make repairs on our home. We have the crew cab, and there is ample room for two more passengers that we may have travel with us. It is also a handy space for quickly putting in a several grocery bags for between trip shopping. It had very good gas mileage even though it is an older model. We use this vehicle now for transportation to and from work and for many other household chores. We also use this vehicle for camping with family and friends because the back is room and comfortable with sleeping bags and the covered cap. We have also used this vehicle for picking up chicken, duck feed and bedding for our pet animals at the house It would easily transport all of them comfortably, if the need should ever arise.
