Excellent vehicle with lot of space.

The truck is great for those who have families. Plenty of leg room in front and back for everyone. Seats are comfortable to sit in and I personally enjoy the extended cab

It was the most reliable dependable truck owed.

It met any and all performance while hauling. While the comfort for my whole family to seat five of us. The interior and exterior was stylish and spacious.

GOOD TRUCK ALOT OF MAINTENANCE

I have owned my 2003 Silverado 4x4 5.3 for almost 3 years . I bought it with 72,000 miles on it in 2016.It is febuary 2019 and it has 92,000 miles now It’s a sharp looking truck with the wheels I put on it but I have had to do a lot of work too it . Considering a lot of this work has been because of rust and where I live it’s not all GM’s fault . Maybe how fast it happened was but , Sense I have owned it I have replaced the entire front end , wheel bearing assembly on both sides , leaf spring hanger and shackles , new brake lines , dust shields, calipers , rotors, pads everything new for brakes , the lines were toast , fuel lines were shot , all new fuel lines , while I was at it I decided to do a new fuel pump as well , I did tightened the pinion seal , did axel and tranny service (normal maintenance) I had a problem with the air conditioner wiring , the heat only works on 90 degrees , I think it’s bad that I have had to do so much work under 100,000 miles don’t get me wrong I love Chevy I drive an s10 every day but I think the quality of the mild steel could be a little better considering how much one of these things cost new . I’m sure there are some repairs I haven’t noted but for as little as I drive it , it’s a high maintenance truck

Super Reliable

This was my first vehicle, and I have made a lot of memories in it. From blizzards out in West Texas, and the oil Field to being a daily driver to and from College. This truck would always start and run, every time.

Best car I?ve ever owned

The car worked for everything I needed it to and way more far exceeded my expectations. This truck has gotten me money from doing side jobs and had many other uses because of its features.

Great Truck for being a 2003!

For being 15 years old, the truck was in great shape inside and out! Low miles, previous owner took great pride in taking care of this truck.

clean

After driving the Pilot, Ridgeline, Highlander, Santa Fe, and several others, the Sorento EX V6 was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a sedan. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology!

No major issues in the 10+ years I owned it.

It was a reliable vehicle. I only had slight electrical problems that was draining the battery, but it got fixed in a recall. Other than that, no issues other than regular wear and tear.

2nd Most reliable car I have ever owned.

This truck has been great. I picked it up at a good price at 44K and have driven it another 80K and still going. Normal repairs and any that may not have been where usually 300-800 and most where very far in between. For 10 Years and this thing may have only been about $100-120/month to buy/maintain all those years.
