First Impressions of the Chevrolet K3500 for 1996
Frequently you will find that buyers of the Chevrolet K3500 are very excited about their new truck. The K3500 has held a place among the top of the K3500 line of truck for more than a decade. It is an important automobile, and the 1996 model is no different in that respect. The Chevrolet K3500 comes under the heading of cab & chassis models that are suitable for families.
Performance
The restyled K3500 Silverado is equipped with a General Motors 5.7-liter 8-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 16 valves. The Vortec engine is paired with a New Venture 5-speed transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.
The K3500 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 fuel system for the 1996 K3500 is a traditional Central SFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 27.00 gallons.
K3500 Silverado Statistics
The dimensions of the K3500 Silverado are 77.50 inches wide by 189.80 inches long. It sits a comfortable 75.90 inches off the ground. It seats a standard two passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 111.00 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.
The standard warranty period for the K3500 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 cab & chassis market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $18,592 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 Cab & Chassis.
Fuel Efficiency
The K3500 Silverado received a miles-per-gallon rating of seventeen in-city driving and twenty two when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green truck, this was subpar.
