What’s special about this listing
This is a Silverado edition, C1500, low mileage 102,887, 5.7L (350cc) V8, with RWD. We purchased this new in 1993 to tow our camping trailer, so it has only one owner. It is in excellent condition and was well maintained. It runs well, starts well, and all oil changes were synthetic oil. It has a factory installed towing package which includes a 2-inch Class 3 receiver, and a towing rear axle ratio 3.73 which gives it a 6,000 lb GVWR. It has AC front and rear, power windows, power door locks, power rear hatch release, a new Optima high amp AGM battery, custom LED headlights with Halo DRLs, fog lights, driving lights, custom billet grill, Weather Tech cargo mat, front and rear side window deflectors, AM/FM radio with auto reverse cassette deck, and CB Radio. Everything is in working order. It comes with an extra set of snow tires. It has 3 row seating and can seat 8. When the 3rd seat row is removed and 2nd row folded down, it can hold 4x8 sheets of plywood.
The transmission was replaced on 12/01/2018 and is working fine. The AC system was converted to R134a around 15 years ago. Known issues: Once a year the AC system needs to be recharged, usually in the spring. I do this myself with 3 or 4 cans of R134a. Apparently there is a slow leak somewhere in the system. It has had Ziebart rust proofing for many years. There is some rust underneath where the undercoating peeled and needs to be sprayed with a rust inhibitor. I am currently checking into having this done.
Accidents: There were 2 minor accidents. 07-26-2017 right rear was hit in a parking lot. Insurance covered and repaired dent in left rear panel. 01/30/1999 A scratch on the driver side rear panel in a parking lot was repaired.
We used it to tow our camping trailer during the first 7 years. Then we decided to leave our camper at a seasonal site and no longer needed a towing vehicle. It was used one last time as a towing vehicle in 2009 when we towed a new camper to our seasonal site. Since then, it has been used very little, only to pick up lumber and move furniture. We just purchased a new vehicle, so we need to sell this one. See it live, for yourself and do a test drive then make me an offer.
