2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Custom
Verdict #096 · 89,549 miles · VIN 3GCPYBEK9MG161820 · Stock #118441 MOOSED
“Big discount on paper, but 89,549 miles and the small 2.7L turbo make this a truck to pass on.”
Pros
- $2,474 under the dealer’s $28,625 market value
- Crew cab 4×4 with the Custom appearance package
- Free car washes for life is a nice touch
Cons
- 89,549 miles is a lot for a 2021 — nearly 30k/year
- 2.7L turbo 4-cylinder, not the desirable 5.3L V8 — resale and towing suffer
- Turbocharged work-truck miles raise long-term reliability questions
Analysis
The $2,474 discount looks generous until you look at what you are buying: a 2021 with 89,549 miles, which means this truck lived a hard fleet-style life at nearly 30,000 miles a year. Worse, it has the 2.7L turbo four-cylinder — the engine Chevy buyers avoid. It tows less, sounds worse, and long-term turbo reliability under heavy use is an open question.
A Silverado’s value lives in the 5.3L V8. With the 2.7L, resale will always lag, and at 90k miles you are buying right as the expensive wear items come due. The discount reflects all of this — the market knows. Spend a little more for a 5.3L truck with half the miles — MOOSED.
