i currently have a 2005 silverado, and love it. 5.3 auto, daily driver. plenty of balls and since i got the extended cab alot of room for all my stuff in the back like tools work clothes etc i guess it would be considered the base model

my previous truck was a 2000 Z71 Silverado, essentially the same truck, but much nicer inside. the push button 4wd was also alot nicer.

my dad is on his 3rd silverado. he had off the lot, a 92, a 99 and 2004, and he drives the hell out of them making cross country trips more often than not. none of the trucks we have ever had ever gave us any sort of problem aside from the occasional water pump and routine maintence. its the best truck you can get, hands down.
