Did you know know that you can get a 5-year-old Chevy Silverado 1500 V8 4×4 for well under $20,000? I found this truck in Colorado. It has a lot of miles, but it’s in pretty good shape. Let’s dig in!
This video is made possible by our friends at AutoTempest. The one stop shop to find that perfect new or used truck.
The truck you see here is a 2021 Silverado 1500 LT 4×4. It’s equipped with a 5.3L V8 and an 8-speed automatic transmission. This one has over 157,000 miles on the odometer, and it’s listed as a 1-owner used truck. Best of all, the asking price is under $19,000. Is it a good used truck? Let’s dig deeper and take it for a test drive.
The all-new T1XX generation of GM pickup trucks came out as a 2019 model. These pickup trucks were fully redesigned with an updated stiffer chassis, aluminum doors, hood, and tailgate to save up to 450 pounds of weight. The T1 trucks offer more payload and towing capability than ever before. They introduced a new spacious interior and a new engine lineup, including a 3.0L turbo-diesel I6 and a 2.7L gasoline turbo-4.
The 5.3L V8 in this truck is rated at 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. This engine can be found with an 8-speed or a 10-speed automatic transmission options. The 10-speed of this era had a better reliability reputation. This truck has an 8-speed.
This truck feels tight on an extended test drive. The powertrain is smooth and strong. The suspension feels good and well-maintained, even after 157,000 miles. The interior shows some signs of aging, but the seats are still in very good shape.
