How reliable is an older Chevrolet Silverado?

[Caleb]

I'm turning 16 soon and my mom is giving me around $10,000 for for my first car what car I really want is a used Chevy Silverado 1500 extended cab but what I have been noticing when searching for one on the internet is that almost all around my price range have high mileage, around 140,000. So what I was wondering is how reliable are Silverados with high mileage?

Also would it be a better choice to get one that doesn't have the extended cab without high mileage or to get a Dodge ram 1500 quad cab (they are reasonably cheaper)?
Im lookig for around 2003 or 2004

yea the relibility of a chevy truck is awsome truck like 140k is good but not great for 10ki can grab a chevy for u for about 7k brand new chevy last in the earli 300k to 400k i had a chevy truck lasted up 808k and died out on me and it was a 1989 chevy van now if you are talking about getting a dodge and letting u die on the side of the road with 140k then buy that crappy dodge but a chevy is the way to go my dude i used my chevy for towing and everything even abused the hell out of it before it gave out at 808 k

silverados are good they can last long, also the gmc sierra is the same thing so it won't matter which one u get, i wouldn't get the ram, dodges have bad transmissions
