I've been driving a Silverado crew cab for about three weeks now as a replacement vehicle for my HHR while it is in the body shop. I've never been a truck person mostly because I have no use for them because I don't have anything to haul on a regular basis and I live in the inner city which means parking can be tough and a smaller car is better. My HHR does well with hauling when I do make larger purchases and such.

I grabbed a Silverado crew cab 4x4 because I'm currently moving and needed something to my move things with.

Anyways, I'm starting to enjoy the Silverado. I don't think I'd purchase one but it is a very capable truck (although that should be expected because that's what it is designed for.) The interior is nicely designed and is comfortable. The only problem I've run into the with interior is that when the truck is in "Drive" the column mounted gear shift is directly in line with the HVAC controls and partially in the way of the radio controls. I've bumped it a few times and having to reach around it to change the fan speed or temperature is a little annoying. Albeit, this might not affect all drivers because it's probably partially due to seating position and such.

The engine is nicely powered and smooth. It does eat a lot of fuel (which is something I'm not used as compared to my HHR.)

I don't have much experience with the Colorado except for the one time that my friend gave me a ride in his.

Final point, I guess you need a truck than the Silverado is a pretty good choice.
