Consumer Review Video - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3L V8 Extended Cab Pickup (4 Door)

Car Displayed: 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 5.3L V8 Extended Cab Pickup (4 Door)

The 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT is easy to maintain. The fog light is accessible by simply reaching behind the front bumper, allowing for reliable changes. Accessing the tail lights is easy to do, as the screws that secure the housing are easy to reach and the housing itself simple to remove. The interior fuse box is easy to access and comes provided with a fuse puller, which should cut down on the problems associated with electrical troubleshooting.

However, the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT has some downsides. The rest of the headlights don’t have reliable access as the engine air filter will need to be removed entirely in order to reach them. The center brake light is not an LED bulb and will thus require more maintenance than those on similar models. Accessing the spare tire may be a problem given the possibility of it rusting to the undercarriage.
