- Reliability (4)Chevrolet Silverado models generally have a good reputation for reliability, and the 2017 model year is no exception. Major powertrain components are robust, though some minor electrical gremlins can occasionally arise as with any vehicle.
- Maintenance (3)Routine maintenance costs are typical for a full-size truck, with parts and labor being moderately priced. The V8 engine requires more oil and spark plugs than smaller engines, and larger tires can be more expensive to replace.
- Technology (4)Equipped with the LTZ trim, it features an intuitive infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and available navigation. USB ports and a power outlet are convenient. Safety tech like front and rear park assist is helpful.
- Comfort (4)The cabin is spacious and the seats are generally comfortable, even on longer drives. The ride quality is surprisingly smooth for a truck, absorbing most road imperfections well, though it can feel a bit bouncy over larger bumps when unladen.
- Dynamics (4)The 2017 Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 offers strong acceleration with its V8 engine and capable handling for a full-size truck, especially with the Z71 off-road package providing good composure on varied terrain. Steering is precise enough for daily driving.
