Pros: Beastly power (7.4L V8)
Tough Looks
Reliability
Cons: Gas Mileage
Lack of rear seat space
Terrible turning radius/parking lot navigation
The Bottom Line: I'd recommend this truck because it's reliable, powerful, handsome and intimidating, capable, and comfortable. It can haul you around town with a boat and a sofa in the bed.
Last August, I purchased a 1998 Silverado 2500 Extended Cab. It is the LS trim level and is a 4x4. It had 52,000 miles on it, and had been taken care of pretty well. It was clean and handsome looking and still is. I now have 72k on it, and there have ...

Pros: excellent fit and finish, extremely reliable
Cons: mid pack mileage, little storage room (single cab)
I bought my K1500, 4.3 liter 6 cylinder engine, in October of 1998. Since then I've put 48000 Miles on the odometer. 48000 absolutely trouble free miles! Not even one minor complaint. I don't know whether I just had incredible luck or what!

Pros: Great fit and finish, Excellent acceleration, Smooth shifting transmission and an excellent ride!
Cons: dealer servicing.
The Bottom Line: Chevy introduced the new generation in 1999 and these vehciles are now coming off lease, these trucks are bargains now. You will love this truck
First off lets start with the truck I am talking about. It is a 1998 Z71 extra cab short bed in a deep green with a matching canopy and LS trim, riding tall and looking good while doing it. The interior is a gray nappy cloth that is very durable and very...

Pros: Legendary Chevy Quality
Cons: Poor Gas Mileage
The Bottom Line: The 1998 Chevrolet K3500 is a very dependable rock solid work truck. Just keep up on the scheduled maintenance, and it should treat you good!
We use our 1998 Chevy K-3500 1 ton truck for hauling heavy loads. Besides the added weight of our payload we also have a steel flatbed mounted in place of the original pickup box. Incidently, we are at the trucks maximum GVWR when loaded.

Pros: Low cost,great for city to and from work,excellent for a trip,smooth ride
Cons: This Chevrolet is not a farming or working truck, but not many build them anymore.
Chevrolet, Ford, and Dodge names that will always bring love, hate relationships in the minds of those of us who drive trucks. I have driven Ford trucks for over 20 years, up until 1998 when I purchased a new Chevrolet Cheyenne 2500 series for a...

Pros: Powerful engine

I bought the 1998 Chevrolet Z71 pickup truck because I owned an older Chevy K1500 and I liked the way the truck held up over the years. I love the extra power that this truck has when you need it. I can push the gas pedal and pass an eighteen wheeler...

I bought a 1998 Chevrolet Silverado K1500 (aka Z-71). I was very pleased with the truck when I first purchased it. It drove like a big Lincoln Towncar, Leather, Loaded to the max. If you are not much worried about gas mileage, this is the truck...

Pros: Been good to me so far
Cons: Stupid Daytime running lights
It may sound strange, but I own this K1500 cause Toyota stopped making their long bed, small pick-up. When I got to shopping around, there was nothing on the market that would do the job I needed. (Occasional hauling, more frequently camping and...

I purchased a Chevy Z71 extended cab truck a month before I graduated from college, and being my first car purchase, I spared no expense. Leather, CD, towing package, third door, the works. I can honestly say that I am as proud of my truck now as I was...
