Owners filed 3,650 complaints with NHTSA about the 2007–2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500; the airbag system leads with 53.4% of them, and half of the 1,787 that record an odometer reading came by 70,000 miles — complaints, not a failure rate.
No single peak: the middle half runs 38,000 to 105,000 miles.
Note: in 2007, both this generation and the previous one were sold at the same time, and NHTSA complaints are not separated by body.

How many miles does a 2007–2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 last?
On the 2007–2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, half of the 1,787 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 70,000 miles and 90% by 149,000 miles (why that is not a lifespan).
177 reports came in past 150,000 miles and 44 past 200,000 — each one proof that a Silverado 1500 reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

Known problems with the 2007–2013 Silverado 1500
Engine (5.3L V8) 2007–2013
Excessive oil consumption on Gen IV 5.3L AFM engines — the AFM oil pressure relief valve sprays oil at the piston skirts while low-tension piston rings fail to control it, fouling plugs and dropping oil level between changes. Subject of the Siqueiros v. GM class action covering the LC9 5.3L in 2011-2014 trucks and SUVs.
Engine (5.3L/6.2L AFM) 2007–2013
Collapsed AFM lifters on the deactivating cylinders, often wiping the corresponding camshaft lobe; presents as a misfire plus a persistent top-end tick.
Interior 2007–2013
Dashboard top-pad cracking and splitting, widespread enough to generate its own complaint category.

Silverado 1500 problems by model year
The 2008 drew the most complaints of this generation, 914, most of them about the airbag system, and the 2012 the fewest, 216. A typical year drew about 444.
That makes the 2008 stand out at roughly 2.1 times a typical year (what a yearly count can and cannot say).
One caveat on the year figures: in 2007, the manufacturer sold both this generation and the previous one at the same time, and NHTSA records do not distinguish between them. Complaints filed under that year may describe either vehicle.
