About This 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 LT

At 139,554 miles, this Silverado 1500 is well into its working life, but that's not a knock against it — it's a testament to what these trucks are built for. The fifth-generation Silverado, introduced in 2014, is widely regarded as one of the most refined and durable half-ton trucks GM ever produced, and many examples routinely run past 200,000 miles with proper maintenance. The Crew Cab configuration means four real doors and genuine back-seat room — great for families, crews, or anyone hauling passengers alongside their cargo. The 5 3/4-foot bed strikes a practical balance between cargo capacity and everyday maneuverability. If you're looking for a used Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in Milwaukie or the greater Clackamas County area, this Z71 LT trim represents strong value for the money.
 

2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Performance and Engine

5.3L EcoTec3 V8 — Power When You Need It

The heart of this truck is Chevrolet's 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, producing 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque in its standard configuration. Paired with the 6-speed heavy-duty automatic transmission with overdrive, this powertrain delivers smooth, confident acceleration whether you're merging onto I-205 or towing a trailer through the Cascades. The EcoTec3 engine family introduced advanced features like Active Fuel Management — cylinder deactivation that cuts to four cylinders during light-load cruising to improve fuel economy — along with direct injection and variable valve timing. Real-world fuel economy typically lands around 16 mpg city and 22 mpg highway, which is solid for a full-size V8 truck.
 

Z71 Off-Road Package and 4WD

The Z71 package is more than a badge — it's a dedicated off-road hardware upgrade. It includes Rancho shock absorbers, skid plates protecting the fuel tank and transfer case, and a dedicated 4WD system that makes this truck genuinely capable off the pavement. Whether you're navigating muddy logging roads in the Coast Range or pulling a boat out of a Willamette River launch, the 4WD system gives you real confidence. The 4WD setup uses Chevy's Autotrac system, allowing easy switching between 2WD, 4WD Auto, 4HI, and 4LO modes.
 

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Features and Interior

LT Trim Comfort and Technology

The LT trim places this Silverado solidly in the middle of Chevy's lineup — above the base WT and well-equipped for daily use and weekend adventures. Standard LT features on this generation include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power-adjustable driver's seat, cruise control, and Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system with a touchscreen display, Bluetooth audio streaming, and hands-free calling. The Crew Cab body style means your rear passengers actually have leg room — not the token seat found in Extended Cab trucks. Cargo tie-down hooks, a spray-on or lined bed, and convenient storage throughout the cabin make this truck as practical as it is comfortable.
 

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Reliability and Ownership

The 2016 Silverado 1500 earns strong marks from owners and industry observers alike. J.D. Power rated this generation of Silverado highly for initial quality and long-term dependability. The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 is considered one of the more bulletproof V8 engines in the truck segment — owners frequently report running past 200,000 miles without major engine work when the truck has been properly maintained. Common things to watch for at this mileage include the Active Fuel Management system's AFM lifters — a known issue on higher-mileage examples — as well as routine maintenance items like the transfer case fluid, brake lines, and transmission service. These are manageable items and the truck's core structure and drivetrain are well-proven. A pre-purchase inspection is always a smart move, and Superstar Motorz can help facilitate that conversation.
