24,000 km - 10 months old.

I love this truck.

Had the headlights upgraded under warranty and 2 free oil changes so far.

No problems at all.

Probably too soon but this is my third Chevy Pickup, 2 80's camaros, 1 1/2 tonne van, 79 Monte Carlo etc. I have had no issues so far with 1600 km I love this truck. The tranny that everyone is complaining about pretty much feels par for the course with todays vehicles and even reminds me a little of my 86 1/2 ton van. I have noticed that the tranny is better now than when I left the dealer. I dont think I am lucky this is what I expect from Chev as I have always had great experiences with them.

After reading all the complaints I still bought a 15 Iridium Denali. So far and granted I only have 1300 miles on it, I have had no major issues. way better than the first 1000 miles on my 14 F150 Ecoboost. do I have some nags?? Sure, the trans doesn't shift as well as the ford YET; and the headlights leave a lot on the table compared to the factory HID's on the ford. its getting better everyday in the shifting department. and the headlights just need a HID kit to make them better. but it is averaging way better mileage and is more comfortable. has more features and is better put together with better materials. I like the intellelink better and I think its a better truck all around. I don't have any driveline vibrations, rear end noise or axle wrap. What gets me the most is with my old Tuxedo black FX4 F-150 no one paid attention that was fine. now even at stoplights I get complements on the truck.

I'm now approaching 25K without any issues. I just came back from a long road trip to see the USS New Jersey, the USS Becuna, and the USS Olympia. It survived the several thunderstorms, horrid, unmaintained roads and traffic of both Philthadelphia and the People's Republic of New Jersey.

 

We had a very comfortable, smooth ride. It was a great trip.

11 months and 11,000 miles. Pass side door mirror replaced, rear view mirror tightened, AC condenser replaced, steering wheel replaced, and the recalls performed. I think it's a great truck. Tows my boat very well.

 

The lack of response from the throttle pedal and slow reaction of infotainment controls are my biggest complaints.

 

Happy customer so far!

I have only put 500 miles on mine, and in those 500 miles my 2015 6.2 8 speed has had no issues thus far.

 

I did torque down the U-bolts as a preventative maintenance kind of thing, they were loose, maybe around 40-50 ft lb.

 

My transmission is still learning and there's some funky shifts that happen sometimes, but nothing that affects driving significantly.

 

No vibrations, no condensation that I have noticed, no seat movement, no trans woes.

 

IntelliLink leaves a bit to be desired. I think that they could improve the functionality here quite a bit - but whatever, I'll take what I get. It still is way more than what I'm used to in the older vehicles.

 

The SR-A's are crap, but I solved that from day one by having bridgestones installed on some 22's and my dealer switched my stock 20's for some other 20's with some decent continental tires. The wheels I got are not the all terrain design, but that's ok...they are close enough.

 

I could do with less chrome on the exterior, specifically the mirror caps, window trim, and door handles. That will all go away in time. I've never been a fan of trim pieces that attach to a truck - like chrome door trim. I hate when it gets old and crappy and decides to fall off. I'm planning to remove it before it has a chance to do that, and this way the paint will all age the same as well. I feel like the consumer should get the option to add or delete things like this from the factory - or that the dealer should offer removal or adding as a free of charge option. GM could ship the trucks without all the emblems and cladding attached, give the consumer the say whether they want it on or not.

 

The only other issue I have is that my corsa exhaust rests on the crossmember, I need to get a rubber hanger that holds it up better, or add another hanger mount. The exhaust resting on the crossmember causes a bit of noise, but knowing what it is from helps ease my mind a lot.

 

My favorite things about this truck....well, everything! The seats are awesome. The interior is awesome. I love the pleather dash, and in the all terrain the red stitched piping is awesome. I love the high wear areas are vinyl instead of the painted leather crap of the old trucks. I love the headroom I have in this truck compared to my NNBS. I LOVE the sound of the 6.2 with the corsa exhaust, I can't get enough of it! It makes me want to buy an LT1 vette. I love the 8 speed transmission, cruising the highway at 65-70 mph and between 1700-1800 rpms is incredible. I love driving a 420 hp / 480 tq truck and still getting near 20 mpg, even on tanks where I am very heavy footed on the gas!

48,000 trouble free miles here.

 

Haven't set profile up yet. My truck is a 2014 Z71 crew short bed 5.3 w/3.42 gears. Purchased Aug 3, 2013
