The first and only truck I've owned (it was my first vehicle, a hand me down from my grandparents) was a 1984 GMC Caballero.

That probably doesn't count as a truck in most peoples' minds.

2006 Silverado 3500 with the Duramax Diesel. Sold it with 453k miles. Still wish I had that truck.

Oh my God I remember the Caballero! You must've had a lot of fun with that thing!

Welcome to the forum @Rrrick! What year was your Element?

 

[Ch-EV-y]

There's always at least one truck that you own that hold a lot of sentimental value. It could be your first truck, one you've had the most, your first new one etc.

So what's the the best truck you've ever owned? To me it's a 1997 S-10, it was my first truck and got me hooked on pickup trucks in general.I drove that think everywhere and anywhere.

For me it's my 2010 Silverado. It's been with me through thick and thin and has been as steady as a truck can get.

Yeah, I had a blast as a 16 year old. That thing had the most lethargic V8 ever. Although, it had all the bells and whistles, including adjustable rear air suspension and a color matched tonneau cover. It always got me where I was going.

One that had the most sentimental value was my '99 S10. Tons of work into this thing, and it saw me through a LOT of shenanigans.

the "BEST" truck I've ever owned was my '15 Sierra. That thing just had SOOO much utility. Traded it away almost a year ago for an Audi Q7. Missed it almost immediately. Mice had gotten into the passenger compartment and wrecked a few harnesses, so that truck had to go. Should have replaced it with another one instead of switching to an SUV

Currently looking for an AT4 with the 3.0L to get me back into a pickup until my Silverado EV is ready.

2003, I still have it and my pickup EV will replace the Element and Chevy Bolt EV . I do everyday driving with my Bolt, charged mostly from my solar panels, and haul farm and chicken supplies with my Element. So it’ll be nice to have one vehicle replace two. Also my Bokt range of 260 miles is good for a Costco run to Kona (from my hometown of Hilo) with 40% battery remaining after the round trip , so an electric pickup with 300-400 mile range will be great!

Did you consider any other EVs before going with the Silverado EV? Great to have someone here with another GM EV!

Best pickup I ever owned was a Tacoma from this generation.

Yep, actually I reservations in for the Silverado RST EV, Hummer EV 3x, and the cybertruck….at this point first one to call me to verify will win my business….seems each has their pros and cons: Hummer will probably come through first, so it might be what I actually get, but you never know maybe the Silverado will come through sooner. Not betting on the cybertruck, since who knows if it’ll get produced at all or what the final specs/price will be. Hummer EV 3x is supposed to be basically $100,000; and the Silverado RST is $105,000…..so about the same price. I like the longer bed with midgate fold down on the Silverado, but will get the roof rack option on the Hummer if it comes up first — just in case I have to carry some long farm supplies……

1985 Toyota truck, but I really loved my 92 king cab hardbody, so much faster and roomy. Escalade is great too M

 

[EVTrucking]

Best truck ever owned is my current truck, a R1T. I have owned Toyotas and Fords.

I am thinking the Silverado EV will be my best but that is years away.

Same! Prior to that the best was my 2006 Silverado 3500 with the Duramax (had over 450k miles when I sold it). I just can't see how any truck could offer the combination of utility, luxury, and performance that the R1T does.

 

[tsuintx]

Best truck I've owned? Meh... They've all been great. Haven't really had a bad one as of yet. The one I miss the most still today is my 2003 Silverado 5.3 LS RCSB Sportside. That was freaking awesome! Even with it's shortcomings in the cab and bed size departments. LOL!

 

[WXman]

I've had I guess 15 to 20 trucks. BEST one? My 5th Gen Ram 1500s hands down. I've had two, a '20 EcoDiesel and '22 Hemi. Both are nearly the perfect trucks.
