No matter how awesome it is, maintenance checks and repairs escape no vehicle. If your ride is easy to maintain and repair, you save money and time at the service department in the long run.
One of the reasons the Silverado earned a spot on the pub’s list of the 10 Easy Cars to Maintain and Repair is due to the Silverado’s longevity.
“The models aren’t fully redesigned as often as many vehicles, so there tends to be plenty of repair parts available, along with a strong knowledge base about each generation of the trucks,” writes U.S. News & World Report writers John M. Vincent and James MacPherson.

With no shortage of Chevrolet Silverado models on the road, there is a large pool of mechanics who are well versed in how Silverado models work.
The roominess of the engine compartments makes maintenance checks and repairs simpler, too. And, thanks to the less complex inner workings of older Silverado models, drivers with a do-it-yourself spirit and automotive knowledge could tackle some repairs and maintenance checks at home.
The Silverado’s easy-to-repair DNA can be found in the Chevrolet Suburban and Chevrolet Tahoe, add Vincent and MacPherson. These full-size SUVs, which are ideal for large families on the go and for drivers who demand comfort and capability from their vehicles, have similar powertrains under the hood as the Silverado.
