well for a small truck you could get something else, the silverado is a full size truck although you can make it substantially smaller by having a normal cab and a short bed.

piece of shit truck for a city boy! A real man would drive a ford powerstroke.

If GM made the 5.3 a hybrid and offered it in single cab, I'd purchase this truck.

@CrashJSTest also the 21/25 mpg is a 2wd refular cab with 4 cylinder, its tow rating is much lower. You can't compare that to a full size crew cab with a v8 and a full size bed. A 2wd tacoma 4.0 v6 with access cab (not even the biggest cab) is list as 15/19mpg on toyotas website, pretty far away from the silverados rating especially from a smaller truck. Getting above 20 in the city in a full size extended cab is impressive especially when they typically average around 12-14mpg.

@CrashJSTest check again, the tacoma gets significantly worse city mileage. Most peeople drive mostly city miles especially with trucks. Also the tacoma is not a full size truck.

well this look better than 2003-2006 but i still like the 1999-2002 silveradoand the 1999-2000 Z71 decals

i kinda dont understand this truck, its just not fuel efficient enough. yes 23mpg is good, but combines for 21 mpg which is almost equal to the fords 2 v6 engines and considering that the truck starts at 40 grand, it just doesnt really deliver in fuel savings. they need to push it more

I now own a 1HY 4X4 version as of a couple weeks ago. And I find it awesome. Power? Wow! Lots of it. Smooth Ride? Smoothest and Quietest Truck I've ever been in. Doing mixed driving with it, and getting 21 MPG. I absolutley Love This Truck. I traded in my 2006 Crew Cab 4X4 1500 for it, and this was a bigger step up in the Truck that got than I thought it would be.
