I am driving a 21 Sierra with a 5.3l. Not a fancy truck just a higher optioned work truck. Only issue I have had was the strech style serpentine belt failed at 37k miles. Have 40k on it right now and other than tires and oil changes its been problem free.

Anyone looking for a new vehicle should Google with a question like:

Owners complaints about a Chevy Silverado. Include the year.

Almost every vehicle on the road has an Owners Forum website. You'll find loads of info on those.

Also, search for any independent repair guy that fixes warranty work the dealership can't fix.

You'll be amazed at how many things are wrong with most trucks or other vehicles.

Do your research.

You never even broke it in. 100,000 is nothing.

El Camino

I have a 2015 f150 with the 2.7 in it.
Looks like the day we drove it home from the dealer.
Used it to pull an 8x20 cargo trailer (4000 lbs) loaded with a 570 quad and a full size ranger 800 along with about a 100 beaver traps to Arkansas and back. Got 11 mpg.
If I ever update it will be the 3.5 or I'll step up to a 250.

Good trapping rig add a leaf to the back put it in low you can move a lot of firewood more than you think it would haul. Very easy to work out of its a beast.
