2002 Chevrolet Silverado

Pros: Excellent engine, great in all weather conditions.The six foot bed is great storage room.
Cons: The transmission on this car kind off acts strange sometimes.

This car runs excellent and has a very strong engine. Great on-road and off-road, especially in snowy conditions. The interior is great and the rear seat is great for seating family.

Pros: well it drives good, rides good, looks good,
Cons: transmission is a piece of crap, a bigazze paperweight!! rear end makes noise between shifts

piece of crap!! i wish i had bought a toyota!!! my transmission has messed up two times in a year. i paid 1500 bucks for repair the first time, second time im saving up for it still!!!

Pros: It is a sweet and comfortable ride.
Cons: The cost of keeping the vehicle on the road.

I am in agreement with the reviews BUT I am now facing a repair bill to fix a cracked transmission. Of course the truck has 158000 miles but a "CRACKED TRANSMISSION?" Too date I have replaced a transfer case, a u-joint, a tie-rod, fix a leak in the front axle, replaced the PRUNDL harness, All the injectors, numerous bulbs, several items long forgotten. My repair cost have definitely added to the cost of operating such a vehicle. 95 % of the miles are highway miles. I seldom use the 4WD functions.

See for yourself.

Pros: good looking truck, plush leather
Cons: service issues with general motors, like dealing with the USED CAR SALESMAN you've been warned

purchased my 2002 chevrolet 3500 4x4 crew cab dullie duramax allison new in 4/02. since then have put on 69000 miles of medium duty towing. now i found a leak in the rear of the transmission, only to find out from a allison dealer(not the gm dealer) that my rear housing is cracked, and there is a t.s.b.(technical service bulletin) on this particular problem. so i went back to my dealer. they informed me that it would cost me $2600.00 to fix. they also reminded me that my warranty on my transmission expired at 36000 miles and there was no way they would be able to assist in any repair costs. so for all prospective buyers of this $45000-$52000 truck, this truck may not be all it is CRACKED up to be,literally

Pros: Much quieter, smoother ride than previous versions. I have seen them with 200k miles.
Cons: Interior does not hold up well against child car seats. Easily scuffed.

Purchased used with 56K miles and in spotless condition.I had a '98 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 that got to be too small with 3 kids and 2 dogs. The Crew Cab provides the extra leg room that the Quad Cab couldn't. This one ton truck is much heavier than the Ram 1500 is but gets the same gas mileage.
With it's tow capacity,I can tow a 4k lb car with my 2k trailer and still have plenty power left. We are also using it to pull a 26ft Travel Trailer. The 6.0 liter engine, 4l80 trans, and the 4.10 axle get the job done without a lot of strain. The bigger brakes are an important safety item. I now have 90k miles with no hang ups.
This truck is a huge improvement over the previous models produced. It's not perfect however nothing man made is. If you have a genuine need for a heavy duty truck, consider this one.
Don't try to make a half ton do the work of a bigger truck. It will just cost you more money in the long run.
