Pre-Owned 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4WD LT w/1LT Crew Cab in Dallas, TX

Performance

The 5.3L V8 is the heart of the 2008 Silverado and a big reason why this truck remains a popular used option. Delivering strong, dependable power, it’s capable of handling towing, hauling, and highway cruising with ease. The engine feels responsive off the line and holds power well under load.

This V8 features Active Fuel Management (AFM), which shuts down four of the eight cylinders during light driving to improve fuel efficiency. While that helps in theory, the real-world gains are modest. Still, it offers a good mix of strength and efficiency for a full-size truck of this era.

Note on Transmission: The 4-speed automatic is smooth but dated. It gets the job done but can feel sluggish compared to modern 6- or 8-speed units.

Driving Experience

Ride quality is excellent for a pickup, especially with the Z71 off-road suspension. Steering is light but accurate, and the cabin stays relatively quiet at highway speeds. Whether you’re driving empty or towing a trailer, the 5.3L Silverado feels balanced and controlled.

Interior & Features

Cabin design is functional and straightforward. In LT and LTZ trims, materials are upgraded, and you’ll find:

• Power windows and locks

• Cloth or leather seats

• Dual-zone climate control (in higher trims)

• Available Bose sound system and navigation

Seating is roomy, especially in crew cab models, and visibility is good. However, some interior plastics and the overall dashboard layout can feel outdated by today’s standards.
