A lot has been said about the Chevrolet K1500 for 1999. As Chevrolet's entry in the extended cab pickup market the K1500 (and in this case specically the LS version) has maintained a solid reputation. The 2-door K1500 is especially appealing to wide market segment, making it a perfect truck to help Chevrolet as a brand in general.

The K1500 LS is equipped with a General Motors 5.7 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The Vortec engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.
The K1500 uses power-assisted brakes, with 2-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The truck uses torsion bar and leaf springs front and rear respectively.
