You may well find one of these vehicles in your local used car lot, and in a dizzying array of configurations. They were manufactured as regular cabs and extended cabs, short wheel base and long wheel base, flareside and step bed. There were three...

Pros: Engine and transmission did not need repair, unlike most Dodge trucks.
Cons: Just about everything else went wrong with the vehicle!
Our family originally bought a Chevrolet 3500 Series pickup truck with an extended cab, and the largest engine available for pulling horse trailers. We were really impressed with the truck for over a year, and that was when the problems started. Now...

I just purchased a 1996 White extended cab 4x4 shortbed Chevy Pickup. This truck is my baby.
I love the looks of the body style, the loud pipes, and the height of this truck. With it being 4x4 it sits higher and gives a great feeling when you are...

Pros: Heavy hauling ability, safety, economy
Cons: The left headlight keeps burning out.
Last year I bought this vehicle to replace my aging Chevy 1-ton tow truck. For those of you who have owned and operated a tow truck, you know the severe punishment and abuse they receive. My new 3500 has the 5.7L (350), and a 5-spd with power...

I purchased my 1996 Chevy Truck because of the dependability and toughness. I test drove the Ford and Dodge, but I was not impressed. The ride in both of those trucks is still from the day when a trucks ride was choppy and rough. Once I got into my...

Pros: Easy to work on, big engine with lots of power, plenty of room for stuff
Cons: Fuel pump went out
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this truck to anyone looking for a workhorse that can take abuse that will last forever given the right care.
I remember stepping onto a used car lot looking for the perfect truck. I NEEDED something at the time that portrayed MANLINESS. I saw a few Ford Mustangs and whimpy economy cars, when suddenly a vehicle caught my eye. I had found the one! It was a Chevy ...

Pros: Good looking,comfortable, lots of extra's!
Cons: Lots of problems.
On the '96 Silverado 1500 short-bed pickup: A large disappointment for me due to some very costly repairs early on. At 38K miles, I had to replace EIGHT fuel injectors at a cost of slightly over $1200.00! At 70K it was all over but the constant expense...

Pros: a LOT of leg room, even in back. very smooth & powerful.
Cons: bumpy while driving
My vehicle is the Chevy 3500 4-door extended cab. It has an incredibly powerful diesel engine, and accelerates amazingly fast for how heavy and big this truck is. We bought the truck to pull our 24' boat, and the truck pulled it up steep hills without...

Recommended: No
Pros: nice car for those who have jobs that require them to carry around equipment.
Cons: If you have or are expecting one or more children, i wouldn't recommend this car.
This car is a great car for many different things. It can store things very well and it is great for people who have businesses where they need to carry around their equipment. But it isn't the best vehicle for a large family.
