1999 Chevrolet Silverado LS review from North America
"Most reliable truck out there"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since buying this truck in 2004, I have not had to replace one part. Just keep changing the oil and treating it well and it will run forever.
General comments?
The 5.3L has amazing power. It can white smoke an entire intersection and cruise like a buick. It beats the 5.8L F-150's no problem and gives a Hemi a run for it's money. The handling is alright, but hey, it's a truck. The gas mileage is pretty good if you don't lay your foot in it, but that is easier said than done with these things. I will definitely buy another Silverado, but I'm not sure if I want to get the older SS or the new 2007's. If you want a truck that was built like a rock pick a Silverado!
