I have had my NBS 2008 Fourdoor 5.3L flexfuel truck since April 1, and have about 14000 miles on it.

I run E85 most of the time and get 13.5 mpg with a city/hwy mix. On reg gas I get about 16 mpg with the same driving.

My 2 complaints are:

The seat material is a dirt magnet. Not only does it get filthy quickly, it won't let go of the dirt and is horribly stained.

The transmission is a dog. It feels like it catches up to the truck with going down hills and back up. A coworker has the same truck and also shares the same complaint.

I wish I could have gotten a longer bed, but otherwise, I really like this truck. It tows very well for it's size and the mileage is nothing to complain about.

I am having a problem with the tire pressure sensors. After a flat tire repair went badly and a new sensor was installed, the check light remains on. Chevy told me not to worry about it until I bring it in next time.

I forgot to add:

The paint is crap. I have more paint chips on this truck than my wife's 6 year old minivan. Yes, I drive on gravel, but my other trucks do not have near the paint chips. I have 2 NBS trucks and they are both the same way, lots of chips missing.

I've had my 07 NBS crew cab for about a month and love it. I was torn between the ext cab and the crew. I'm glad I got the crew - tons of room when you fold up the seats. I too complain about the dirt magnet seats. Also the rear cup holder is stuck open, someone mentioned about the delay in the dash lights coming on - I agree. I also like to drive with the dash lights barely on at night and on the highway. They don't dim enough for me. I bought it to tow a 21 ft travel trailer, but have not done that yet. I hope it's an improvement over my 04 6 cyl trailblazer. Gas mileage seems to vary between 15 and18 depending on terrain.

Probably not alot of room here for a 2007 NBS Silverado 2500HD Duramax/Allison - LTZ.

It's awesome in performance and towing from bobcats to a large horse trailer with 4 horses.

Options were numerous and still at night school on learning how to use them all.

I love my 3/4 Duramax!

had mine for about 5 months (5k milles) just had it in the shop today, had a problem after stopping sometimes it'd lunge forward, turns out the driveshaft slip yolkneeded lube, and the front of my bucket seat upholstery had come off (and i could get itto stayon) also, $75 for a spare key, my 04's spare was free, and if you guys only need a spare in case you lock you keys in your truck (IE: you DONT need it to start the engine, only unlock the door) just have a spare key cut and dont get it programmed (still $45), my black cloth interior also seems to collect lint, but no stains yet.the lowest mpg ive managed to get is 15.5 city (average is 16.5) and i had 24 highway on a 300 mile tripcruising at around 75 with cruise control, also the only other thing, i have WT no chrome front bumper (basic black paint no clear or anything) and it gets wrecked frompebbles on highway, i had to buy a bottle of touch up just for the bumper

5.3 (not flexfuel as i heard those get terrible mileage) reg cab 6.5" bed, everything stock

Hey everyone, I now have over 3,500 miles on my 07and I just had my fifth wheel hitch installed. KICK THE TIRES AND LIGHT THE FIRES! I am hooking it up for it's first time out towing in three days. I will let you know how well it performs with 16,000 lbs of trailer behind it. Everything thing else has been doing fine. No complaints here at all with mine.

Ihave a NBS LTZ Z71 4X4 1500 Silverado crew cab with the 364 ci, 6.0, and have to say Chevy finally got it right this time. I have had Chevy pick ups for 30+ years, the first being a 1949 fleet side, and the one before this one a 2000 extend 4 door cab, half ton. Already put on 8,000 miles and have not had any problems at all. The 367 horses kick in when I need them and the brakes are the best ever. Sorry for the love story, my wife told me she was going to put a blanket and pillow in the trucks bad so I can sleep with my truck . I put a Bak Flip bed tonneau cover on it and that helped the gas mileage, about 10-12 miles per gallon more, and put flat chrome steppers on , held on by 4 heavy duty brackets,put on a hood wind deflector and that helped with the gas mileage as well ,1-2 miles , next step will be the True Flow XDI air flow system, should give me another 17-25 hp gain and about 8miles moreper gallon. Any thoughts about dual exhausts,will they help in performance and gas mileage? My way of thinking isgain performance and mileage per gallon.

I just had to pay 112 dollars for an interior detailing. Chevy said they get lots of complaints but are not going to do anything about it. I have had 9 trucks so far, all working the life of a farm truck, and this is the first time I have ever HAD to pay for the interior to get cleaned. I just could not do it and get it clean on my own.

Other than this, and the paint chipping off, I really like this truck. The mileage is excellent and the ride is top notch.
