Winter is here, and the 4 door Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS, 4WD 2003 equipped with a Z71 Off-Road shocks and suspension system is perfect to get around in. This truck was built to last! It really runs and drives great! The vehicle is a nice maroon color and has very minor flaws on inside. It will get you 17-18 MPG on the highway, and 14 in the city, which makes this the ideal daily driver and sound economical choice. The truck is very spacious and seats up to 6, the extended cab helps make carpooling comfortable. It also features an indoor/outdoor electronic thermometer, with a black-ice warner, and a CD player. The Silverado has a 285-hp 5.3-liter V8 with a four-speed automatic transmission, which features a tow-haul mode that improves shifting performance under heavy loads.
For 2003, the GMC has added dual-stage airbags for the driver and front passenger along with a passenger-seat sensor system. The dual-stage airbags deploy with varying levels of force depending on the crash severity, while the passenger sensor will deactivate the passenger-side airbag if it detects the presence of a child. All Silverados include four-wheel ABS brakes as standard equipment.
Inside, Silverado buyers will find a logically laid-out interior, with an easy-to-use dual-zone climate control system and clear, uncluttered gauges. Material quality is unimpressive, and the build quality even less so. The cabin is roomy, particularly on extended cab models. Standard rear doors on the extended cab make entry and exit to the rear bench seat easy, and if front passengers are willing to sacrifice a bit of legroom, the back of the extended cab is quite comfortable. The Silverado is also the first fullsize pickup to have Bose audio system.
The Silverado is comfortable enough to be a daily driver, yet it's still powerful enough to use as a dedicated work truck. Acceleration is swift, especially with either of the Vortec V8s, and the automatic transmission shifts with authority. The steering feels vague on center, but it's light and precise enough for easy maneuvering. Four-wheel disc brakes deliver plenty of power, but can be skittish on loose surfaces. A combination of torsion bars up front and leaf springs in the rear give the Silverado a comfortable, if not refined ride in most situations.
The vehicle was very well maintained, and carries very minor defects. Please feel free to come test drive the vehicle!
