2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

If you've been searching for a capable, work-ready truck without breaking the bank, this 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT for sale at ALSBOU MOTORS - RIVERSIDE in Riverside, CA is exactly what you've been looking for. Priced at just $12,950, this brown Silverado packs a serious punch with its EcoTec3 5.3L V8 engine and LT trim features — offering genuine truck capability at an honest price point in Riverside County.

About This 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT

This Silverado comes in at 193,474 miles, and for a properly maintained 5.3L V8 GM truck, that number tells a story of hard work rather than cause for concern. The EcoTec3 generation of GM's small-block V8 is widely regarded as one of the most durable truck engines ever built, with countless examples rolling well past 250,000 miles with routine maintenance. At $12,950, you're getting a full-size half-ton truck in the popular LT trim, finished in a distinctive brown exterior that stands out from the crowd.

The LT trim sits comfortably above the base Work Truck (WT) package, meaning this Silverado comes with a meaningful step up in comfort and convenience features that make it equally suitable for daily driving, weekend hauling, or work site duty.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits the EcoTec3 5.3L V8 — one of GM's most celebrated powertrain achievements in recent memory. Producing 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, this engine delivers the kind of low-end pulling power that truck buyers depend on. Paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, this Silverado is built for towing, hauling, and confidently navigating the demands of Southern California life — from highway cruising on the 91 and 215 to hauling equipment across Riverside County job sites.

The EcoTec3 5.3 also features Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation), which helps stretch fuel economy on the highway by running on four cylinders during light-load driving — a practical benefit for anyone commuting long distances or making frequent runs between Riverside and surrounding areas.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Features and Interior

The LT trim on the 2016 Silverado 1500 brings a genuinely comfortable cabin to what is fundamentally a hard-working truck. Buyers can expect features including power windows, power locks, cruise control, and a Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system with Bluetooth audio streaming and hands-free calling — keeping you connected without distraction.

The interior offers comfortable seating, a user-friendly center console, and the durable materials GM designed to hold up to years of real-world truck use. Rear passengers benefit from ample legroom, making this Silverado just as capable of family duty as it is hauling a trailer. The LT also typically includes upgrades like fog lamps, body-color exterior trim, and alloy wheels that give it a polished appearance above the base trim.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Reliability and Ownership

The 2016 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L V8 has a well-earned reputation in the used truck market. GM's Gen V small-block V8 — which underpins the EcoTec3 lineup — has been refined over decades of production, and the 2016 model year benefits from several years of post-launch refinement. Owners consistently report strong long-term durability when basic maintenance intervals are respected: oil changes every 5,000–7,500 miles, regular transmission fluid service, and keeping an eye on the AFM lifters (a known wear item on high-mileage examples).

At nearly 194,000 miles, a pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic is always a smart step, and ALSBOU MOTORS - RIVERSIDE encourages informed buyers. The Silverado's parts availability is excellent, and repair costs are generally lower than comparable Ford F-150 or Ram 1500 alternatives — a real advantage for budget-conscious truck owners in Riverside County.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 a good buy?

Yes — the 2016 Silverado 1500 is considered one of the stronger used truck values on the market. The EcoTec3 5.3L V8 is known for long-term durability, the LT trim offers a solid balance of comfort and capability, and GM parts and service are widely available and affordable throughout California.

How many miles is too many on a 2016 Silverado 1500?

For a well-maintained Silverado with the 5.3L V8, 193,000 miles is not unusual. These engines are frequently documented running past 250,000–300,000 miles. The key factors are maintenance history, AFM system condition, and transmission service records. A pre-purchase inspection is always recommended at this mileage.

What does the LT trim include on a 2016 Silverado 1500?

The LT trim adds meaningful comfort and convenience upgrades over the base WT, including Chevrolet MyLink infotainment with Bluetooth, power accessories, cruise control, enhanced exterior styling, fog lamps, and upgraded interior materials. It strikes a balance between value and everyday livability that makes it the most popular trim in the Silverado lineup.

Is rear-wheel drive okay for a truck in Southern California?

For most buyers in Southern California — including throughout Riverside County — rear-wheel drive is perfectly adequate. The climate is dry, terrain is mostly flat to rolling, and the demand for four-wheel drive is minimal for everyday use. RWD also reduces mechanical complexity and long-term maintenance costs compared to 4WD models.

What should I check when buying a high-mileage Silverado 1500?

Focus on the AFM (Active Fuel Management) lifter system, transmission fluid condition and shift quality, oil consumption, frame condition for signs of rust or damage, and any recent major service records. A qualified mechanic inspection in the Riverside area can give you confidence before purchase.
