Short Takes: 2008 Chevrolet Silverado LT Crew Cab (Start Up, Engine, Full Tour)

In continuation of my "Short Takes" video series at All City Auto, I give a tour of a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado LT. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this truck while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this truck designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

[@MasterJim2020]

Personally, this generation of Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra is my favorite of all. Because of it’s nostalgia factor and how both trucks look.

[@Bruno-ie9wy]

Sure thing, 2022 and i will get a 2008 or similar. Not a huge fan of the new ones hahahha

[@avian9033]

This is the truck my father has had for quite a bit. Got it brand new.. I remember when I was 13 when he got it, brings back some memories of living at home :)

[@sealtite904]

I can't believe people think 100,000 miles is high miles. My step moms Chevy trailblazer has 369,000 miles and she still drives it to work everyday. Spark plugs and a water pump replaced so far.

[@XtremeDomination12]

sealtite904 cause it's a trailblazer! Lol. Had one with 207k miles all original and it's still going strong!

[@prometheussama3838]

Es depende como la traten pero estas silverdado funcionan muy bien

[@TaZeXLaZs]

Mines currently at 260,000

[@BrodyHarris]

@Sylar Hunt Damn really? No problems?

[@gmcdenali7178]

Over 100,000 miles and still runs like new. Chevy all day.

[@josephstalin6281]

George GMC Sierra Denali try 360k still running like a champ

[@l-jay9286]

how does it ride?

[@haydenreyes4621]

My 07 Z71 crew cab Had over 230k, not sure exactly since this was a while back

[@TRDGE]

After all these years, I still have a soft spot for this amazing truck.

[@alexbentley7257]

Very reliable and strong truck, my grandfather had one these back when I was a boy(2007-2011/2012). His was a red 2007 Silverado Crew cab LT

[@bradleymeyer9775]

That’s a nice truck

[@genmac1]

This is a damn good looking truck!

[@joseywales9101]

Huge thumbs up I’ve had my 2011 LT for months and didn’t know about the remote start.

[@Jumpboots_Jamstrang]

That's a GOOOOD looking truck.

[@ThePickle85]

that is exactly what i want. thanks for uploadin.

[@bruteman45]

them 5.3's are fuckin beast

[@gmcdenali7178]

Yup they are. I love that generation of the Vortec family. Only thing is, trucks with the 5.3s are slow af.

[@bruteman45]

+George GMC Sierra Denali honestly my dad has a 5.3 vortec and its fast as hell

[@gmcdenali7178]

bruteman45 It must be modded. The Vortec 5300s (5.3s) do 0-60 in about 8 seconds. The Vortec 6200s (6.2s) do 0-60 in the best I heard of- 5.8 seconds. Figure that.

[@bruteman45]

+George GMC Sierra Denali its not its fully stock my dad doesn't do that shit nor is he into doin that shit his has 355hp and 383tq trust me dude when I say this truck is quick its quick even beat my uncles f150

[@gmcdenali7178]

bruteman45 That's the 2014-2016 Ecotec3 engine. They're pretty fast, but GM did a half ass job on them. They fucked up, they shoulda kept the Vortecs. And, them 5.3 Ecotecs ain't even that fast. The 376 6.2L Vortec 6200 (403 HP 417 Torque) can do 0-60 in 5.8 seconds in a crew cab truck with a 3.42 rear end. Them 5.3 Ecotecs can't do that, unless they're in a regular cab truck. The Vortec 6200 can do that time in a crew cab. And even though I said they ain't very good engines, the 6.2L Ecotec can do 0-60 in 5.4 seconds in a crew cab truck and 3.23 rear end.

[@dave1745]

Well taken care of truck! Nice Silverado

[@SilverRaven53]

I really love this truck :) I think I am gonna start saving up for one :3

[@digitalrailroader]

Ahh, Such Familiar Territory! Looks a LOT like our 2009 Silverado except for the Color, the Body, the Seats, the HVAC, and the Engine.

[@CChebby]

I prefer the LT dash over LTZ cuz it doesn't crack.

[@1mlb704]

I really like the styling on these trucks. Very rugged looking.

[@jjchargerboy16]

I love the LTZ Crew Cab.

[@Blueball0120]

Nice truck!

[@EliteGT08]

This Is A Nice Truck.

[@emilybraun4312]

My dad has one of these (except it's the white diamond edition) they're really good trucks!

[@rayyansyedkhalid3678]

Nice 👍

[@rubypuppy7]

best v truck shown yet :) but those ss's were pretty nice

[@bradleymeyer9775]

At the time of this filming, this truck is 2-3 years old with 100K miles on it already. Impressive.

[@09ICCE200]

Getting one of these brand new on Wednesday, hopefully!

[@franciscoroque2383]

Hey I might be getting one too on Wednesday but instead of new it's pre owned condition but with only 99,350 miles on it!

[@bradleymeyer9775]

My dream truck, or at least one of them. I love the Ford F150, Toyota Tacoma and I’m a fan of the 2009-2018 Ram 1500 Hemi.

[@Goldenrod636]

I like the older versions of these trucks.

[@doctorsturgess3068]

Great video sabbkyle04

[@awesomerandomninja]

"Good size bed space...hardly been used." Story of most pickups I see.

[@redneckfl1]

These Silverados are nice trucks. I like that you now get to choose between 2 different dashboards. The LTZ Silverados get the Tahoe dashboard, and the lower trims get the dash shown in this video. That was a good move on Chevy's part because a lot of people will opt for the LTZ trim to get the nicer Tahoe dashboard. I would buy the LT model because it is more affordable and somewhat nice. The basic dash works for me, because I use my truck for work, and the LTZ interior would get all messed up.

[@RPKGameVids]

I love the look of most American cars and pick ups.

[@XxNANOSHIFTxX]

how can you tell which lt’s have bench seats and which ones dont im trying to find one without a bench seat i like that center Consol setup

[@firstnamelastname6797]

umm...raise the seat and it will tell you i thank lol dont take my word

[@bmwmsport11]

101k and 15 avg mpg. Amazing. Milage is high but still great truck looking. Great video

[@gmcdenali7178]

Eh, that's just broken in for an LS engine

[@gpbentley]

Kyle! help; I'm getting a car soon and I have the choice of the 2011 GT or the Genesis coupe v6 grand touring! what do you think!?

[@chevyfordmeister38]

Im saving up ta buy one

nice vid!can you review an opel corsa opc?

[@migueldejesuscastrodedios2378]

Esta bien chida la. Siverado

[@TJC450]

I love the sound the 5.3 makes when it starts up. But my brother has a 08 and it has given him nothing but trouble. Its a shame too because he was such a huge Chevy fan.

[@haydenreyes4621]

Did your brother take care of it?

[@TJC450]

@@haydenreyes4621 Yes. He bought it brand new. But it was right in the midst of GM’s bankruptcy.

Wish tour of The C-2500 w/6.0 motor !!

[@burtonkidd]

I'm only 16 right now but i love the 2008 silverado LT. My boss has one. When he picks me up in the am he lets me drive to the job site, as i have my G1, G2 in 3 months. The '08 models are going for $20k with roughly 140K km (79K miles) so i have some thing to save up for :)

[@Johnnykham_]

perty nice truck right der

[@Motorfordtoyota]

@strumem90 Its called active cylinder managment I believe. But yes, cuts 4 cylinders while cruising.

[@Motorfordtoyota]

@strumem90 I know, the mega cab is huge. But after they cancled the 1/2 ton mega cab, Toyota has the largest now. Ive been in the crew max Tundra, its freaking comfortable. Reclining seats and all.

[@riederernicholas95]

@burtonkidd What is g1, and g2? Is it a learners permit?

[@Nitts16]

what a sexy truck !

[@jjchargerboy16]

@NICKLADD Yeah, My 1997 Oldsmobile 88 had 50,000 miles on it when I first bought it back in 06.

[@massivelytiny]

I have the regular cab Z71 2011 silverado, it's a shame that the cars we get here aren't loaded in options like the ones you have in the US, mine is missing the rear view mirror controls, manual side mirror folding, AC controls are dials in mine, and the middle box is completely different. I'd love to get the extended cab but I'm quite of a short guy, worried about the size, ha ha!

[@Rozeboom9]

Hey Kyle, Could you do tour of a 1988 Chevy Camaro. Its my favorite car.

[@barnie7219]

Wow it's 86° there? Just 28 in Ontario today

@saabkyle04 where you in sc today because I saw a genesis just like yours it was white shiny and it had a track spoiler

[@RiouInsuiko]

The heated washer fluid was recalled I believe, it's supposed to be removed.

it looks nice ? what is the mpg.

What is that pedal at the left of brake pedal?

[@asgher786]

@hrprk7 how long did your dad have the car for?

[@datboiwes333]

@talldude123 I think the ones made in Mexico aren't sold in US/Canada. I think only like the Mexican/Central American spec ones are made there. These trucks are sold in several countries.

I prefer the interior design in the LTZ. but this one looks well equipped.

2008 Chevrolet Silverado LT, 101,650 miles

[@burtonkidd]

Yup I live in Canada Ontario. Re-reading that comment I'm a little confused my self. What I was trying to say is I had my G1 and in another 3 months I was able to do get my G2, so then I would be able to get my own truck. It's no Silverado but it's a '05 GMC Canyon

[@Myrhoej17]

Is it just me or is the rado the same kind as u find in the Saab 9-3 or 9-5 ? :D

I was looking at one of these trucks online. It has 186,000 miles on it. Is that fine for these trucks? Should I make a trip out to see it or just keep searching?

[@connerbutler1077]

It's fine if it's cheap I bought a 2002 GMC Sierra with 198,000 miles for $1500.

[@shanenixon4236]

My dad has 2011 Silverado LT with 147,000 miles it's running like a top. These LS engines are dope

[@Motorfordtoyota]

@strumem90 Yeah, variable cylinder managment I think is what it stands for. I think Cadillac was the first to have one of these systems with their 8-6-4 6.0l v8 in the late 70s early 80s. But it was a problemed system, and its too common. (actually, Saabkyle04 has one, cadillac something.)

[@KRT1390]

you get your permit first ( only can drive with parent or someone older that has had there license 3+ years and than 6 months later you get your license) than once you have that you have to wait 6 months to drive people around except for family

@Joseph9536 No heated washer fluid, no remote start, and body color grille surround with chrome grille interior. With the Z71 wheels and Z71 gauge background.

[@gmcdenali7178]

Heated washer fluid was 2007-2008 only. It was recalled cause of fires.

[@SharksWOO]

Kyle what kind of car do you have? just curious

[@gmcdenali7178]

Idk about then but now he got a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali HD SRW, a newer gen Dodge Viper, a 1989 Nissan 240SX, 1969 Chevy Malibu Chevelle. I think that's it but Idk.
