Bought a new 2014 Silverado 1500 w/max tow pkg
The truck in my signature has been costing me $ in repairs & expensive maintanance for too long now. 16 spark plugs every 30K miles, many tie-rod ends (& I don't crank the wheels while standing still), 20" tires, power steering leaks, A short in the dash making the lights flicker, replaced original fog lights because original mounts broke.....
Never owned a GM truck, but everything I see about the 2014 Silverados looks promising including better fuel mileage. My Dodge only ever gives me a mixed driving non-towing MPG of about 11. Towing about 8 mpg. Non-towing hwy was a solid 16mpg. I still only expect around 9-10 towing but that would be better than the 8 I get now & I never tow faster than 63 mph. When I go camping it's time to relax & that includes the drive to my destination.
New truck is still 500 miles from my dealer but there are only 5 w/max tow pkg within 500 miles of here so I must wait a few days.
Any words of wisdom from any other 2014 Silverado owners?
