A high point in the cab & chassis market is the Chevrolet K2500. In 1992 Chevrolet released an upgraded version of the K2500 with two versions: Silverado and Cheyenne. Sales for the K2500, especially the K2500 Silverado, were brisk during 1992 and 1993. The improved reliability and the sporty styling were responsible for the sales boost.

Chevrolet K2500 Engine Specs

Standard equipment in the K2500 for 1991 and 1992 includes the 6.2 liter engine by General Motors, weighing in at 8 cylinders and sixteen valves. A 4-speed Automatic Transmission puts the power of the engine to the pavement. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Cab & Chassis arena.

The K2500 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.

The 1992 K2500's exceptional fuel system runs on diesel. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection style of design. The fuel capacity of the truck is 20.00 gallons.

Vehicle Statistics

The dimensions of the K2500 Silverado are 73.90 inches wide by 194.20 inches long. It sits 65.70 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 109.80 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.

There is a 50,000* mile, 60* month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 50,000*/36* miles/months. This is normal for this price range.

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 Cab & Chassis.

MPG Ratings

The 1992 K2500 gets 23 miles/gallon on the highway and only 18 in the city. This is subpar for a cab & chassis truck.

In 1991 and 1992 the K2500 Silverado was availble in the exterior colors of several colors. Additional options were available as special orders from the factory.

We Think...

The 1992 model year was telling year for the Chevrolet K2500. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Silverado version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
