One year review

CARPLAY UPDATE!! I recently upgraded from an iPhone 5s to an iPhone 8. CarPlay performance is night and day difference with the 8. Much better!

One year ago today I picked up my 2017 Silverado 1500 DC midnight edition. Added goodies include: wall to wall husky liners and rear seat cargo box, AVS low profile window deflectors, OEM black rectangular running boards, Extang trifecta tonneau, and Xpel ultimate film. I have to say that after 18,500 miles, I've been very satisfied. I've had no problems, and the truck has only been back to the dealer for maintenance visits. I had one TSB performed to address the brightness of the backup camera and it was remedied to my satisfaction. Other than that, I've had ZERO recalls to deal with. The fit, finish and paint held up good through it's first New England winter. My only complaint is that CarPlay can be a bit hokey at times, requiring me to unplug and plug back in. The Bose system is over rated IMO, but it sounds OK. I really like the ride of the truck. AFM has been fine, I don't notice when it switches from V4 to V8. The 6 speed/5.3 has performed well for my style of driving. It has enough power and it shifts well. My over all MPG burning top tier midgrade (89 octane) has been about 20 mpg (80% hgwy / 20% city), so I'm happy with that.
