2016 truck owners need your input

Binobanbino · January 22, 2016

I am looking to get some feedback on their trucks. Just wondering if the vibration issue that these trucks are know for is gone.

I know this is a question that is asked a lot but im thinking about getting into a '16.

I just can't stand my truck anymore.

Thank you in advance.

My 2016 Sierra Denali is very smooth from the factory . My 2014 Highcountry had vibration/shake to it and finally took it to a different dealer and had the do a Road Force Balance and it fixed the problem ... also had to do it on my 2012 as well to fix it. I think the problem was the Goodyear LS-2 tires they had to be Road Forced balanced to be smooth...My new truck has 22 in Bridgestone tires and I dont think I will have to do anything to them...Drive train is also quite and smooth...but I only have 600 miles on it so things could change....

Thanks for the feedback. I also just noticed but I could be wroung but the rear vents for the heated and cooled seat were removed from the back of the seats. I was looking at some videos online and I dont see them. That was a big complaint from family and friends when I had both front seats on high. That heat that comes out from there after awile it starts to bother.

As far as my 14 it still shakes. I have posted this issue before. They just can't fix it

My 14 was smooth and my 16 vibrates bad at Freeway speed. Just took my first trip and out of town for another week so I haven't had it in to the dealer. Might be tires but it's from the rear and I'm running my Michelin winter tires that didn't vibrate on my 14. At this point I wouldn't buy a GM truck before a good test drive at 70-80 MPH. Mine was a custom order and a snow storm on delivery day so....

My 15 is vibration free, but there is that pesky clunk

My 2016 rides great at all speeds. Drove it for a week with factory wheels/tires rode fine , I have 20x12s with nitto 420s and it still rides great. Hope this helps.

Haven't noticed any vibration with my 16 Silverado. It has the 20x9 chrome wheels. Only had it a few days, but have driven at 70-75 mph and was smooth.

Nothing has changed since the introduction of these trucks, test drive and put a bunch of highway miles on it before signing papers, simple as that!

O_J_Simpson · January 23, 2016

No changes for 2016. Just do a long test drive at all speeds up to the limiter and place your bet.

No vibration, but I have 22" factory Duelers, and like previously mentioned, may be tied to specific tires. (The 20" Goodyears)

I have a 2016 lt plus all star double cab with stock 17" wheels - absolutely smooth as butter.

Dont hesitate, great trucks.

Well mixed results. I'm going to give it a pretty big test drive then. Since my current '14 has the Goodyears I should look into getting the 22".

Thanks for your feedback I hope this truck turns out better.

2014 and 2015 vibration free with 18 inch goodyears and nitto terra grappler and michelin ltx at2
