2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS

The 2003 Silverado 1500 is Chevrolet's full-size pickup, the truck you cross-shop with the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500. It drives with a solid, planted feel, and the steering is direct enough that you forget you're in something this big. The cabin is straightforward and functional, with durable materials that hold up to work-truck duty. You get a proper truck bed with real payload capacity, and the cab offers enough room for adults in all seating positions. Stepping up from the Work Truck to the LS adds convenience features like power windows and locks, carpeted flooring, and a more comfortable interior without losing any of the truck's capability. The 5.3L V8 under the hood makes 285 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, paired with a four-speed automatic and four-wheel drive for confident pulling and all-weather traction; it's rated at 14 mpg combined.
