Owner Reviews
Casey W
2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ld review.
The Chevrolet Silverado ld 1500 custom is a very well build and sound truck. There are however a few things I do not like about this truck. The main thing is the speed governor does not allow you to go over 99 mph, you do not need to go over 99 very often but when you need or want to you are disappointed by the trucks motor cutting out. Another thing I do not like about the truck is the interior of the car didn't match color wise, there were grey seats and everything else is black. Other than those two small things this truck is in beatable, it has a lot of power, it is not overly large, there’s a lot of space in the back, and it is very comfortable to ride in and smooth to drive.
Brittany B
I love that it has more than one charging stations.
I love the vehicle. It runs great and we have not had any problems with it. It is a comfortable and reliable ride and for a truck, it does pretty well on gas. I love that it is compatible with iPhones and has apple play. It has all of the technology that we need.
Paul R
Love the v4- v8 option great for traveling.
Great dependable truck love it from the interior to the bed liner it's every thing a man can want and expect from a pick up truck! Chevy Silverado like a rock. The most bang for your buck Chevrolet Silverado. 2019 Silverado ld my truck of choice. Should be yours too!
Jusd A
2019 Silverado, amazingly quiet ride on a great performing truck.
My 2019 Chevy Silverado is one of the best tricks I have ever had. The ride is incredibly smooth and the cab is very spacious and quiet. Even the custom trim level has a touch screen, back up can, and phone Bluetooth sync. Only downside is the 4.3l v6 is a little light on payload. Other than that, this truck is an amazing value for the price.
Brittany M
2019 best year of the Silverado.
Its stunning and performances is amazing. Very impressed with the trail boss package. Also the new design on the 2019 is great. Seems like there is so much more room inside. Have always owned Chevy trucks and this by far my favorite edition. Only thing I wish was different is the new factory leather is not nice.
David A
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ld black all star edition.
I have had my car for a year and a couple months now and I haven't had any problem with it. It is super reliable in any weather conditions as I live in Minnesota with harsh winters I can drive safely with this truck. Very comfortable going on bumps and potholes when I do not see them. Does waste quite a bit of gas that is the only downside I’d say other than that it is the best car I have owned to this day.
Shannon W
Very comfortable but a solid truck with no corners cut on performance.
Performance exceeds expectations. It is fast. Performs amazing off road. Able to pull heavy loads with ease. Lt trail boss was built with additional features to increase performance. Truck is extremely reliable. Driver information display gives the driver many details about vehicles current mechanical status. Truck is extremely comfortable. The crew cab size was increased giving back seat passengers plenty of room for comfort. Truck has great performance, very reliable and able to function as a dependable truck doing whatever you need it to do. It also has many features to provide comfort as well as leisure features while maintaining the look and function of what a truck is expected to have and be! Great truck!
Alexis C
Touch screen and Bluetooth.
Love everything about this car. It is not to big or to small. The interior is comfortable. Has touch screen and connects to Bluetooth. It is kind of annoying when you come home and someone else’s phone just automatically connects without asking. Other than that everything works well and haven't had any problems so far.

1.5 lift with 35 inch tires 2019 GMC white at4 sierra 1500 truck.
I have a 2019 at4 GMC sierra 1500 truck and I love it. It is the most relatable truck I have ever had. I bought a white truck and added another 1.5 inch lift on it, so that I was able to add 35 inch tires on it. I went with the 35 inch nitto ridge grappler tires to give it that aggressive look, while maintaining a smooth ride.
Derrick B
2019 GMC sierra elevation dominates the road.
The size and power allow for easy convenience hauling items. There is plenty of room for a family. I really like the option for traction for snow and the easy accessibility for the carplay app to play music and maps. The technology to remind you to check the rear seat is very beneficial for families with small children.
Jace L
2019 GMC sierra slt cameras & tailgate.
I absolutely love this truck. All of the features that come with the 2019 are amazing. The tailgate may seem like a gimmick, but I use the features almost every day. It's so accommodating to have the versatility to support random needs. The camera options are impeccable. I find myself using all of the cameras every time I part, to ensure perfect parking. If I have it, might as well use it. The birdseye view, and the front/rear facing views are the best of pulling up to a curb. These are just a few of the many features. I could go on for days.
Katie B
This is the perfect truck for a me.
The heated seats are quick to heat up and the perfect temp. Thus truck drives more like an SUV than it does a truck. I love the step in the back bumper which allows short girls like me to climb in the back much easier. Overall look and feel are exactly what I was looking for.
John T
Rugged, high sitting, intimidating vehicle.
I love this vehicle. It is perfect for my needs, not too much and not too less. I like the height of it and I like the look of it. The interior has all of the amenities that I could ask for. Front bucket seats with console and Bose sound system. Heated seats and steering wheel.
Bill G
Beautiful truck and highly recommended.
Love this truck. Very quiet and smooth ride. Plenty of space throughout the cab. Plenty of get up and go. Beautiful truck. Highly recommended. The step tailgate is a game changer. Decent gas mileage. Only issue I have had is with transmission noise in low gears.
Bry G
The 2019 GMC sierra- new body, same reliability.
I wish it had more features but it is an sle model. It is durable, dependable, looks good, drives great. The interior is clean and comfortable. I only buy gm trucks. The Bluetooth connection is fast. It is a quiet ride and has a ton of space. It sits high too.
John G
Awesome truck. Best you can buy.
The GMC sierra 1500 Denali is an amazing truck. It can tow anything with great and easy technology. The new tailgate of the truck is amazing with easy access to the bed that can be used by anyone of any age. It also has wireless charging which I love.

The highlight of my vehicle is definitely the smoothness or the gas mileage.
I love my Chevrolet truck. It rides smooth and gets good gas mileage. The only problem I have with it is it is not a crew cab. I recently had a baby and the double cab I have is not enough room for my baby and people. My truck will for sure be something that with more space in the back seat area.
Jen T
Chevrolet trucks are nice.
It is eroding the back bed and it really should have a custom bed liner. It is brakes go easy and the tires are expensive. The electrical system is going and shuts down. The windows and door locks act up and do not work sometimes. The undercarriage should have been painted and sealed to prevent the rust and salt from the roads to eat away the paint and cab. The undercarriage is rusted and has some smaller holes were the same thing happened. The window wipers do not work well on the timer for the lower setting. It is beautiful color. The performance is good and gets speed to excel.
Vincent W
My Chevrolet experience in a nutshell.
The Chevrolet is a great truck, it drives well. Smooth handling and nice features. The only issues I have had is oil changes are a pain due to the cost of the synthetic oil and specific filter and the stock tires that came on it didn’t last long either. The more luxurious features are a god send. I love the seat warmers and the Bluetooth link options.
Dennis M
Silverado problems. Should have stayed with 2005 suburban.
Vehicle has a vibration problem that seven trips to two different dealers cannot figure out. They tell me that it is normal? The first blame was on the transmission and then the (dfm)- dynamic fuel management system. Will not let me talk to a factory representative. Other than that, it drives nice and tows well. I do miss a CD player that is not offered.
David L
2019 Chevy Silverado, so far so good.
Like the truck overall. I have had some problems like a leak from the rear window that allows water to get into the cab. The interior is nice but the drivers seer is not very comfortable due to sensors in the seat that you can feel all the time. The truck drives great but the engine does not sound great. The engine seems to have a lot of rattle and other unpleasant noises. The truck has plenty of power but fuel economy is less than expected. I have only had the truck for 7000 miles so reliability is yet to be an issue.
Tony Z
2019 Silverado leader of the pack.
I purchased a 2019 Silverado brand new off the lot. It is a great vehicle with everything I was looking for from apple car play to space for my dogs to sit in the back. One thing that I noticed right away with the truck though is the infotainment screen likes to freeze and your volume knob would not work anymore. To fix this issue you had to shut off your truck for 5 minutes which became really annoying. Another issue was at around 2000 miles the transmission started slipping and shifting aggressively. Other than that the truck is great and I would purchase again.
Kirsten P
Unimpressed with the quality of my truck.
There are issues with the vehicles transmission. The pulling capabilities leave much to be desired in comparison to my old ford f150. I have noticed that the windshield wiper fluid goes very quickly due to the amount that is used from the sprayers. The power to start from a stopped position is not there due to the v4 switch that happens when vehicle is in a lower gear. The truck also is not great in the snow and ice compared to other 4x4 vehicles I have owned.
Brittany S
Vehicle is well rounded. Has plenty of space within the cab as well as the bed.
This is a great vehicle. Many safety features including the sensors. The truck pulls a trailer well and has not had any problems. The only thing there has been any trouble with is that every now and then there are issues connecting to Bluetooth, however, this is very rare and understandable.

2019 Sierra 1500 SLE will not start
We have the same issue, haven't been to the dealer yet. Today we had to turn over the vehicle 20 times to get it to go beyond 1 (one) click. What was your issue ultimately, Cojuan?
Cojuan Bradley
7th time will not start been to dealership 5 times
This is a brand new truck and I didn't think I would keep having problems for the same thing. Numerous times I have walked to my truck get in it and it will not start. I have explained to the dealership that there is a problem and the answer from them is that it starts we they have it. I have taken videos to prove that there is a problem. They have had the vehicle and it wouldn't start for them for two days. They told me they have fixed the problem and I get it home for a couple of days and back to the same thing it will not start. Please if there is anyone having this issue please send in reviews.

Loaded with problems! Shift to park error message, loss of all electrical power randomly
This truck has lost complete a total of 3 times. First at around 2,000 miles the car lost 100% of it's power after the auto start stop shut the car down at a stop sign, and it wouldn't start back up. Dealer said it was a "short-in the fuse box". Has happened again twice since. Dealer says nothing wrong the other two times when I took it in. I have it on video that the car had no electrical power. Not even power for Onstar when your car breaks down like my did, and no power to unlock the doors to get out of the car. The latest issue is a "Shift to Park" Error Message. The car doesn't realize when the car is in Park when I turn it off. So the power will not turn off. What a nightmare. The dealer will not support and now it's starting to cost hundreds of dollars to assess every electrical issue that came with the truck. Oh, and my running board is now broken at 50,000 miles. Cost is about $1,500 to repair. It looks like I am going back to a F150.
Zach Brown
So many issues
I am trying to return this truck to GMC and they have declined so I am hiring an attorney. Worst truck I've ever had. T 1. Transmission is slipping and throws you forward. Feels like you're getting rear ended. 2. Noise coming from front drive wheel. Swirling noise. I took it to GMC service and was told that the engineers are working on a part for it. Currently no way to fix the issue. 3. Check engine light on. Truck is at 300 miles. 4. Service will not accept responsibility and they are selling these knowing these issues. 5. Current class action lawsuit on transmission issue. Google it. 6. I have requested a buyback on truck and GMC Declined to stand behind their product.
Nathan I
Solid performer, do not want to have it come 100k miles,
The transmission is clunky when you first put it in gear. I have had several issues with the radio connecting my photo both via Bluetooth and apple CarPlay. For the most part it is comfortable, although I do not care for the styling of the body. Smooth ride down the road, sits low compared to other brands.
Daryl Williscroft
Not Reliable
RUN FAR AND FAST AWAY FROM PURCHASING 2019/20 1500 GMC or CHEV loaded with issues. Do your research they have no fix !!!!
Mark Raines
Serious Design Flaws DO NOT BUY THIS TRUCK
I bought he X31 SLTbased on the look and yes thenew tailgate. The interior is like a 757 Cockpit but with gosh awful uncomfortable narrow coach seats and features, it sucks. Design flaws include noise, and worse is the center console which is huge apparently goes down to the open chassis as it’s like a freezer in the winter, seriously! Thought it was just due to cold weather outside but with cabin heat set at 78 inside the console storage it’s still 32 -38 degrees or the same as outside temps! Other issue is transmission. When cold it struggles to shift out, and even when warm when you take off from a stop it jumps when shifting out. Do not buy this truck, you will be disappointed. I wrote GMC and got the canned lame reponse go to your dealer as they are experts! Ha! My dealer has 2 service bays, same garage built in 1932 yes not making this up and their “ Certified Mechanic” is named Bubba and I am sure he’s a structural design engineer on the side.

Pros & Cons from Owners
2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Jonathan D.
The truck looks and drives great. The interior is roomy in the front and back seat, and the technology has greatly improved with this truck. I would highly recommend this truck as this is the fourth Chevrolet Silverado that I have owned and definitely the best so far.
Jonathan D.
There have already been four recalls on this vehicle and it is only a year old. There is a noise when I use the Auto Unlock feature that the dealership cannot seem to fix. I like the vehicle but I hope the issues resolve themselves soon.
John S.
The model I have is the double cab - the rear area has doors, seating for three passengers, and the rear seat folds up to use that space for cargo. It has On-Star, a Wi-Fi hotspot, Sirius XM radio, and Android Auto. I also like the corner steps on the rear bumper.
John S.
It does not have 4WD or the new-fangled tailgate. The V8 engine is not the most fuel efficient choice. It has carpet on the flooring in the cabin, and I preferred the rubber mat covered floor of my previous truck.
Devin D.
The feature packages vary widely making it difficult to get exactly what you want from the mid tier and below. The truck rides very smooth, the interior is refined and functional, the body is smooth and the bed is the largest in the class.
Devin D.
This vehicle has faced several recalls recently. The vehicle is manufactured in both the United States and Mexico. More of the Mexican made models have needed repairs. The price is inflated for most models and there is very few value deals on them.
Randy D.
Very high quality and fun to use the electronic features. It gets many compliments on the road. It is very quiet. The sound system is very good. Love the wireless cell phone charging. Heated and ventilated seats are the best.
Randy D.
I wish it would automatically switch to the front camera when parking. I need to see if I can pull up further. It is not simple to select the home setting then the camera icon, and then the front camera when you are trying to park.
