2010 Chevrolet Silverado LT 5.3 from North America
Summary:
Like a rock!
Faults:
Back right bumper started to show rust around 14,000 kms. Dealer replaced it no problem, they said it was from the exhaust when it's new?
At a cold start, the truck sometimes has a loud tick sound, then quickly goes away.
General Comments:
This is a real nice truck to drive. It handles great, can get to 100km/h pretty quick, and has an awesome sound when doing so. The LT model doesn't have the Bose sound system, but the speakers are still decent.
Its Bridgestone tires are great in the snow, BUT they pick up every little rock, then fling them off when picking up speed, which doesn't really bug me that much, but it must make the cars behind me go crazy.
This truck pulls great; I've hauled wood, hay wagons, house trailers, and it never slowed me down.
The cabin is nice, but I find there isn't much storage space. I used to have a 98 Silverado, which had the over head console, and it made much better space with items such as maps or sun glasses. The seats are very comfy; I could drive all day and not be bothered.
Other than the early rust signs, this truck looks and drives awesome!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

"Good truck, but I think GM is cutting corners"
Yep, this tends to happen to companies that are on the brink of failure. They do cut corners. How they are rated so high is beyond me.
