First Impressions of the Chevrolet C3500 for 1991

The 1991 C3500 is an important vehicle to Chevrolet for the standard cab pickup market segment. The Silverado is a member of a series of two trim levels for the C3500 which include Cheyenne and Silverado. The two-door truck with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Chevrolet. There is strong competition from vehicles from Infiniti.

Performance

The C3500 Silverado is equipped with a General Motors 6.2 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The engine is mated to a Hydra-Matic 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.

Steering control is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The C3500 has power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. The truck uses coil front springs and leaf in the rear.

The 1991 C3500's normal fuel system runs on diesel. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel tank holds 20.00 gallons.

C3500 Silverado Statistics

The C3500 is 194.20 inches long, 73.90 inches wide, and 65.20 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 109.80 inches. It is able to seat 2 comfortably.

The standard warranty period for the C3500 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the standard cab pickup market.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $13,592 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Standard Cab Pickup.

Fuel Efficiency

The C3500 Silverado received a miles-per-gallon rating of eighteen in-city driving and twenty three when it came to long-distance. Being a diesel-powered non-green truck, this was subpar.

The vehicle is available in several colors.

Conclusion

The 1990 model began the promise of the Chevrolet C3500. The 1991 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Chevrolet hopes that the C3500 Silverado will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
