Re: Who here drives a 1500?

I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 (5.3, 2wd) that I've owned for about 3 years. Bought with 47k now has about 75k. I have mixed feelings about the quality/durability of these trucks.

So far I have had issues with bent rear axles, slow fuel filling, failing power folding mirrors, rattles under the dash and paint peeling off the doors (white paint). If you search for problems with these trucks online you will also find lifter failure, transmission and high speed vibration (chevy shake) issues.

The problem is, when you search any new truck issues no matter the manufacturer there are all kinds of problems talked about online. So you just have to choose which one is best for you.

I will say the truck is comfortable, gets decent gas mileage and tows well. Plus I like the way it looks.
