Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds 2021 Chevy Silverado

My issue with Tundras is my resale stays so high I am always tempted to trade it in and get a new one. Fighting the urge still while I wait to see what the 2022 looks like. If they mess it up, the 2015 will be the ride for a long time.

You will get positive and negative info on all the brands i'm sure. Buy what you like (looks and performance) and don't look back. I currently have a '17 Tundra TRD PRO 6.5' bed (not available any more) and I am extremely happy.

2011 Silverado with 217,000 miles (purchased in2013 with 9600 miles). Other than the obvious brakes and tires I’ve replaced:
Fuel pump $800
Front wheel hub assemblies $700 (getting close to round 2)
Oil pressure sensor:$300
Struts/shocks $500
Air filter upgrade $100
At 90k I had a fluid (antifreeze-transmission) service since my wife started running a 22’ enclosed trailer peddling clothes.

Best truck I’ve ever owned. Even with current mileage the power is still there, not as good as it was, but still better than our 4.8l work trucks brand new.

Will most likely stick with GM on the next one. Just my $0.02 though

You mean the traction control they call a locker? Agreed.

I bought a Silverado with the 4 cyl 2.7 L turbo in December of 2019. It was a great deal and has been an excellent work truck. I have the 4 door crew cab all-star edition with 4 wd and cold weather package (which is great). Currently getting 20 mpg after breaking in with mostly city driving. HP and Torque is outstanding with this motor even at low rpm. Locking rear differential is so good in the winter I don't even think about going into 4wd mode unless there is at least 6" of snow on the road. Tons of room in the back seat and lots of storage space under the seat if you add an after market storage box. Front seats have lots of leg room, not cramped like Toyota. Lots of storage in front also including two glove boxes and a lockable underseat storage box for your concealed carry sidearm. Good bluetooth for hands free phone connection. Visibility is a little constrained over the larger hood. Handling is truck like not car like. Not a big deal to someone who is used to driving a pickup. One regret is not getting the upraded camera and display. Try all the options for cameras/ displays before deciding.

Overall I have recorded 19.8 mpg since the beginning for all driving and have recorded up to 26.8 mpg on a few occasions for highway mileage. My current mileage seems to be improving after 18,000 miles. No repairs yet other than oil changes and a battery replacement covered by warranty.

This!

Worked for a major supplier to GM for 40 years. Very entitled company since the bailout with a “too big to fail attitude”.

Bought a new 2018 Chevrolet crew cab 4x4 and have been very disappointed in it. Trips back to the dealership, paint that is so thin that if you look at it wrong will chip. I have only drove GM products but will be switching to Ford.

I’ve got 30k miles on my 2020 Tundra. Only complaint is the short bed. But I’ve got a real truck for doing real truck things.

I think the new GMCs look the best. Miss my 2003 I had for 11 years and 230k trouble free miles.

Yep, I've been stuck going downhill a time or two (in snowdrifts) and that GM 'traction control' didn't impress me much.

Why is it that Nissan Titans are never mentioned in these truck threads??

Say what you want about them, I don't care because I drive a Tundra and love it.

Another question; Why is this truck thread in the Classifieds?

Chevy?
The new 10 speed has been very problematic for many, the turbo 4 cyl is pretty impressive and gets good mileage.
Both the 5.3 and 6.2 are good engines for the most part but have had problems with the engine management crap under the intake.
We run a fleet of Chevys at work and they are far from trouble free but I would imagine that could be said for most.

I am impressed with the new Ram trucks but have no dealings with them other than driving a couple.
Ford owners I know have had some issues with a variety of things but nothing major, the ecoboost engines have impressive power but the 5.0 is pretty much trouble free according to tech guys at the dealership.

Long haul? I would buy the new Tundra and never look back, who knows what the mileage will be? what kind of power it will have? how it will drive? we hear speculation.
People wonder why it has taken so long for the new truck? I have faith they will get it right out of the gate, too much is riding on it not being right, I hope anyway because I'm in the market for a new truck next year and after owning one since 07 I will buy another.

I certainly hope they offer an electric locker though, the traction control crap sucks, my biggest gripe other than the healthy appetite.

It's a 2.7 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder and my 2020 Silverado has one. It blows the 2011 4.8L V8 Silverado off the road that I traded in on it. I love driving my truck

You would be lucky to get a 2021 by 2022.

Bought a 2019 Silverado on price. End of the year plus incentives. Had a Tacoma and wanted to go back to a full size. Been good so far but I don't intend to keep it more than 4-5 years.
I would have bought a Tundra but that truck is long overdue for an upgrade and the gas mileage sucks. My 5.3 Chevy averages around 20mpg about the same as the Tacoma.
If Tundra upgrades appeal to me I may go with it next time which at my age could very well be my last truck.

The rear window will leak in the 2021, the issue started in 2019 and GM has yet to address it. I have a window on order now with only 11k miles on it. It may or may not fix it. The rear spoiler above rear window is also poorly designed and allows water into the headliner. A lot of lifter issues in these trucks also. Knock on wood, I can deal with a leaky window, but not an engine rebuild.

My 2020 5.3 gets around 16-17 in city and 20 on highway.

I'll check out the new tundras when they come out, but I had to buy something last fall as my old truck had given me all it had...and I just got too good a deal on my sierra.

you must of had some bad trucks if thats the best one.

Only if it's a sliding rear window

The Op was asking about a Silverado.He probably does not care about your Ford,Dodge or Toyota.Just sayin!!

Bullchit..10 speeds are pretty decent trannys developed by GM & Ford..
