Silverado 2017- sucks! Like run away- don’t even consider this model. Numerous problems (hubs, rear end noise, electric issues….) even though I treat it like a pavement princess. The major problem was the transmission took a shit just after 100k. I know of six other people personally, that have catastrophic transmission failures on Silverados. It’s so common that there should probably be a class action suit against Chevrolet. They are aware of the issue but do not recall them. Never again for Chevy. Probably Toyota for my next one.
I'm curious what research you're doing, can you enlighten me? I'm ready to buy a new truck, but everything I'm reading says the tundras are still suffering from turbo/engine failures.
I have absolutely loved my '15 Silverado 1500 4x4 x-cab since the day I bought it. I got it with 16k on it in 2016 and now have 231k on it. All I've done is change the oil and just 3 months ago replaced the brake pads. That's it. I just now put a 4th set of tires on it. The 2nd and 3rd sets got over 80k each, which tells me how good the alignment is.
Don’t look past the 3.0 duramax in a newer chevy. The fuel mileage is awesome.
I've had a modern diesel (3 years ago) and I have zero interest in owning one again. I know its right for some people, just not for me. Gassers only for me going forward.
I traded my 2017 Silverado in last year after fixing the transmission. Went out, fixed it and less than 6 months later it was doing it again. Truthfully I don’t think the dealership fixed it right the first time but I couldn’t trust it again on another road trip.
was this a 6 speed or a 8 speed? 6 speeds 14 and up have this issue, my dealer tells me 8s dont. now they all have 10s. I drive a 17 6.2 8 speed combo 220 thousand km and no issues.
I drive a 17. afm delete with a tune. Good millage great power 225 thousand km no issues. the newer ones with dfm are alot harder and more expensive to tune out dfm. I have done multiple oil analysis, to figure out the optimum oil life the way this one is driven. IT will ping slightly wit 87 octane gas at times. I have played with 91 and also 87 with proper octane boosters. does not seem to make a difference driving empty but it does better towing. Someone above mentioned fords getting better millage, this is a work truck we have a small fleet of gmc and fords at work, 5.0 and 3.5 ecoboosts. They do not get better fuel milage but we do not have a 3.5 ecoboost 10 speed combo that might. 5.0 does not.
