Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Multiple drivetrain configurations, substantial towing and hauling capacities, compliant ride quality.
Cons
- Interior design is showing its age, low-quality interior materials, below-average build quality.
What’s new
This year all heavy-duty Silverados receive a redesigned hood and grille. On extended and crew cab models, a power sunroof is a new option, and includes a HomeLink universal transmitter and deluxe overhead console.
Edmunds says
Although the Silverado still has the capacity to tackle just about any job, its newer competition manages a slight edge when it comes to refinement and maximum towing power.

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 4dr Crew Cab 4WD LB DRW (6.0L 8cyl 5M)
Stick to your guns with the dealers, they think these trucks are made of gold. These trucks are nice, but the market is full of them. Take your time and don't get pressured. Yeah they gotta eat too.

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 4dr Crew Cab LT 4WD LB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
This is a work truck and a daily driver. I tow a 7500 lb trailer 300-700 miles per week and it does the job. Mileage: 10 mpg w/ the trailer, 15-17 mpg w/out. Dealer performed all service Duramax diesel head gasket failed at 118k miles. Even after months of negotiations GM REFUSED to honor the Warranty! The repair cost $7500 out of pocket! I CANNOT recommend GM to anyone EVER … again!

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 4dr Crew Cab LS 4WD LB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
4.5 MPG loaded, 12 MPG empty! Duramax with Allison automatic transmision is a joke! Low power, worse fuel economy! This was by far the worst value for my money since I started buying vehicles in 1986! Will soon be selling this pile of junk for a more powerful, economical gas rig! I loved Chevy trucks until I bought this hunk of junk. You can't even start up an incline loaded without … using low range 4X4! Forget quick take-off! Imagine 25 MPH uphill in the Rockies for miles and miles! Yes, I bought it brand new, had it dealer serviced right on schedule, all the updates they had, etc. and still no performance!
3500 DRW - Wow!!
5 out of 5 starsPusher, 12/07/2004
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 4dr Crew Cab LS 4WD LB DRW (6.0L 8cyl 5M)
This truck is fantastic! I traded in
a 2004 2500 Crew Cab with a 6.0L for
this truck that has an 8.1L beast for
an engine...and it's fantastic. Tons
of power, very smooth ride even with
the DRW, and for such a big engine it
gets fantastic mileage of 13 - 14 mpg.
If you're towing, this is the truck
for you. You can spend thousands up
front for a diesel or save a … little
and go with the gas. Diesels are fine
but I went with the gas as they warm
up quicker in the winter. Very good
truck and would recommend to anyone.
