My father owns a 2003 Silverado. Excellent trucks. Nice ride. Are you looking at one with a Quad Cab or Extended Cab, or just a regular two person one? My father's is a Extended Cab and there is plenty of room in the back seat for passengers. Quad Cab is more of a luxury and not needed...
The trucks can be kind of big though so don't expect to slide through tight traffic situations easily.
Plus you can't forget that you can haul things with the truck. All of my junk for college fit in the bed of our truck (which I must say... was much more than I probably should've brought

) Good luck doing so with a camaro.
No heated mirrors. Those are just breakage waiting to happen especially during winter. That is one of the only issues that we have had with our truck that is reoccuring - but it was optional.
One thing to note though, though they are very good quality, if you are buying somewhat new make sure you get a warranty on it. I think that goes for just about any new vehicle though eh?
FYI: I heard Ford's are the easiest cars for thieves to break into. Hondas are said to be the hardest
