im about to go look at a silverado tonight. 2004 silverado 1500 ls. extended cab. 5.3L… 6.5′ bed. it has 95k on the clock. my father jokingly said he wont be seen in it in daylight. fine by me. we can rack up miles on his f250sd allll day long!
what are your thoughts about that generation silverado? common issues? if you arent a chevy guy, what are rumors youve heard about them? is it a pretty good truck as far as reliability is concerned?
that is my chief concern. reliability. it will be my 2nd vehicle, mainly used for towing and it will surely out tow my grand cherokee with a 4.7L that it is replacing. so "performance" wise, its pretty much a moot point. ill never be pushing its limits as far as towing goes.
it has a receiver under the bumper. idk if that is standard,or if that means it came with a towing package. ill have a brake controller in it.
anyways. thanks for the guidance!!!!
