With an overall Carivo score of 6.7/10, the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 earns a Good rating among the trucks we've scored. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 7.7/10, while Technology at 6.2/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional truck — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We rate reliability at 6.2/10 — below the segment average in our scoring. Budget for potentially higher maintenance costs and check the recall record below before buying. On safety it earns 7.7/10: respectable, if not class-leading — several competitors bundle more driver-assist tech as standard. Check your trim's official ratings at nhtsa.gov.
Performance lands mid-pack at 7.1/10: enough power and composure for everyday needs, without the dynamics that distinguish the segment's driver-focused options. Technology scores 6.2/10 — the infotainment and driver-assist features feel dated against current-generation rivals. This is worth weighing if you prioritize connected features or modern safety tech.
Priced from $22,400–$26,335, 10 MPG, seating 5, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 sits in the budget-friendly tier of the truck market. The value score of 6.4/10 is a red flag — comparable alternatives offer meaningfully more for the same outlay. Shop the segment before deciding. At 12 years old, resale value, parts availability, and whether a successor model has improved on its weak points are all worth investigating before committing.
Bottom line: There's a case for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, but it needs the right buyer. Its value and reliability and technology scores trail the class, and several higher-rated rivals sell for similar money — comparison-shop before committing.
