2001 Chevrolet Silverado LS review from North America
"Plastic on a truck sucks the big one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I really liked my Chevy Silverado pickup until I was hit from behind. I had a minor collision, although my truck was badly damaged. I have a silverado sport-side, or step side as they might be called. The quarter panels on the pickup box are made from cheap plastic and cracked. It will cost me over $1,400.00 to replace this plastic rear fender well or quarter panel. I did not know that this was plastic, I thought trucks were made from hard metal. This really ticked me off.
