For Sale: 2005 Chevrolet Silverado in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

2005 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 4x4 Extended Cab Short Bed Pickup

"Pickup drivers who are looking for more off road capability should look into the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the Z71 package. What started as a behind the scenes product code, the Z71 package gained major popularity over the years for its impressive all terrain capabilities and is now a staple in the Silverado lineup. The Z71 delivers on its promise with unique performance additions to improve off road maneuverability and durability." Patmcgrathchevyland.com

For consignment, a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 4x4 extended cab short bed pickup truck with a title verified 40,263 actual miles. This 21 year old truck checks all the boxes with the 5.3 liter engine, LT3 option, and a short bed with an extended cab. Z71 is just icing on the cake for this one!

Exterior
Truck people will argue all day what color is best on the pick up, but we're putting our chips on black, and this one fits the bill just fine! The way the black interplays with the chrome bits and polished trim is fantastic and the chrome nerf bars between 20-inch chrome wheels is like a double underline in design. Those wheels, by the way, are wrapped in 275/60R20 tires with a mid 2024 date code so scratch that item off your list for a while. A solid rear window looks out over a rhino coated bed that's clean and like the rest of the truck, validates this truck's low mileage and excellent care. Imperfections are few and include some abrasions on the plastic tailgate crown, a light scratch on a fender, a slight gash in the plastic wheel flare, and some delamination to the front bowtie.

Interior
Welcome to a 2005 time capsule as demonstrated by the clean plastic door panels in contrasting Pewter and gone are the hard, square edges of yesteryear, replaced with rounded edges and full integration of storage bins, speakers, and yes, cup holders. The LT3 option put leather buckets up front with folding armrests and integrated seat belts and electronic controls. Other than some light wrinkling on the driver's unit, all seats, including the rear bench, are in fantastic condition. A four spoke steering wheel houses several thumb buttons, shares the column with a shifter, and fronts an uncomplicated instrument cluster which lights up in what we like to call "GM Blue" digital numbers. That blue is also found in the center stack where the AM/FM/CD player and A/C panel reside. There's a center console too, with lots of storage and cupholders, all above clean gray carpet. The contoured headliner and overhead console are also in excellent shape and this is about as close to showroom fresh as you'll find on a 2005 Silverado with the exception of the broken glove box release handle.

Drivetrain
It's clean under the hood too where you'll find the 5.3 liter L33 V8, pumping out 310 horsepower as the fuel is delivered electronically through injectors. It's backed by Chevy's venerable 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission with route power through the 10 bolt rear axle and 3.42 gears front and rear.

Undercarriage
As we dip to where the rubber meets the road, we find plenty of typical surface rust for a 20 year old truck, and nothing more. A single exhaust still runs through original equipment on its way to the back and power brakes include front disc and rear drum. Suspension consists of torsion bars up front and leaf springs in the back.

Drive-Ability
No surprises here as the truck does everything well and has all the makings of a well preserved, low mileage relic of the early 2000's. The cabin is ultra comfortable and has room for the family or crew, including those of the four legged variety. We roll back to the mall to put this one under the lights. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Here's a great looking and capable truck that would be at home as a daily commuter or put to work on a jobsite. Think of it as a family car with a purpose! A multi-tool with a Cadillac interior!
