Our Review of the 1991 Chevrolet K1500 Sport

One of the staples of the Standard Cab Pickup segment is the Chevrolet K1500. In the previous model year debuted a brand new version of the K1500 with four versions: WT, Silverado, Cheyenne, and Sport. Sales for the K1500, especially the K1500 Sport, were brisk during 1991 and 1992. The improved vehicle quality and the modern styling were responsible for the boost in sales.

Performance

Chevrolet K1500 Engine Specs: The K1500 Sport comes outfitted with a 6.2 liter, 8-cylinder motor that uses 16 valves. The engine, manufactured by General Motors, is teamed up with a Hydra-Matic 4-speed transmission. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Chevrolet.

The 1991 K1500'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.

Steering control is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The K1500 has power-assisted brakes, with 2-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. The truck uses torsion bar front springs and leaf in the rear.

K1500 Sport Statistics

The dimensions of the K1500 Sport are 73.90 inches wide by 194.20 inches long. It sits a comfortable 65.20 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 109.80 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.

The listed retail price in 1991 (MSRP) was $13,592, with an invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a two-door Standard Cab Pickup.

The standard warranty period for the K1500 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively. This is standard in the standard cab pickup market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.

Fuel Efficiency

The K1500 Sport 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.

Conclusion

The 1991 model year was unsuccessful for the Chevrolet K1500. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Sport version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
