A Better 1991′s Model: The 1992 Chevrolet K1500 Cheyenne

There's been a lot of talk about the Chevrolet K1500 for 1992. As a leading truck in the extended cab pickup market the K1500 (and in this case specically the Cheyenne version) has maintained a high standard. The 2-door K1500 is especially appealing to broad audience, making it a perfect truck to help Chevrolet as a brand in general.

Stop and Go

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

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

Statistics

The K1500 is 194.20 inches long, 73.90 inches wide, and 65.70 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 109.80 inches. It is able to seat 2 comfortably.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $14,375 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 Extended Cab Pickup.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1992 K1500 is a IFI design, using DIESEL fuel. The fuel flow is controlled by a mechanical system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 20.00 gallons.

The K1500 Cheyenne received a miles-per-gallon rating of eighteen in-city driving and twenty three when it came to highway driving. Being a diesel-powered non-hybrid truck, this was within normal parameters.

What We Think of the Chevrolet K1500

The 1992 model year was very successful for the Chevrolet K1500. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Cheyenne version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
