Overview & Reviews

Chevrolet has redesigned the decade-old C/K pickup and given the truck a new name. Major structural, power, braking and interior enhancements characterize the new Silverado. Styling is evolutionary rather than revolutionary, inside and out.

  GM Problem child - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By dave douglass - August 13 - 1:00 pm

  Back to the dealership approx. 23 times for different repairs each time. Combined with other GM problem child in my driveway I decided to rid myself of this unreliable headache. From intermediate steering shafts to leaf springs, leaking output shaft seals, frame tears, leaking weatherstripping, engine knock, power window failures, u- joints, interior falling off etc. etc. this is a big reason that the imports consistently score higher when it comes to build quality and dependability. Chevy- if this is "our truck", we in big trouble!

  So far, well, pretty good - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Logan - June 10 - 7:30 am

  I have a 1999 1500 LS with auto trans., 4.8 L, 2WD Xcab with 47000 miles on it now. I dont have any major complaints, however, I have recently had to replace the rear brake rotors and pads, the front brakes look OK. Four minor recalls for brake lines, seat belts and a sticking gas pedal, but this is the first year for the new model. I haul firewood and pull a bass boat ~30x/year and the truck handles it well. Gas mileage on the highway is ~20.5 miles/gallon (without a load), not bad for a V8.

  Like A Rock - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By EMRDUX - April 25 - 10:00 am

  This is my 5th Chevy truck and my favorite so far. I havent had any problems and when towing boats or campers you forget theyre back there. I havent towed anything yet that required the OD to be disengaged. Shifting is smooth and transparent.

  Best truck Ive had so far - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By txlonghorn88 - April 16 - 1:11 am

  I just recently bought a 99 ext cab 4.3l from my dad and I gotta say I thought when I first drove it this thing had a V8 in it. This V6 powered truck has great power very smooth ride and no issues so far. Nothing is lit up on the dash it has been very well taken care of the only thing I had to do since having it was a tune up and installed an aftermarket stereo which was super easy. I use it as a daily driver and mpg is excellent vs my 01 ram 5.2l I had before this. and even my 08 explorer 4.0 which does not get as good gas mileage as thie chevy does. I am very lucky to have one in such great shape the only thing I dont like is the 3 door concept which is not really an issue for me.

  Bought New in 1999 - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By passedu - March 30 - 4:52 pm

  I purchased this truck new in 1999, trading in a 1997 Monte Carlo. The truck has been reliable and comfortable for over 165,000 miles. Within the last month the gear selector and mileage indicator LED failed. Repair requires replacement of the entire gauge assembly. Early on I had to have the ABS manifold replaced, under warranty. Since then, starter at 158,000, drivers window electric motor at 156,000, and I had the front end rebuilt at 159,000. I replaced the orginal rear shocks within the last two weeks (Jan 11). There was no leakage, but rear end bouce was noticeable.

  Love my truck - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Randi - March 25 - 5:36 am

  This 7 year old truck has electrical problems in dash. Unable to view gear shifter, odometer, already replaced once. Also, gas guage went belly up at 6 years. Still love the truck. Good ride, good mileage, good towing, never broke down, good looking. Light in the backend, have to use sandbags.

  Chevrolet Z71 - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Stormchaser - January 21 - 10:00 am

  This truck is without a doubt the best truck I have ever owned. It does have its faults, mainly in the interior build quality, I do like the design. The truck has never let me down even with 111,650 miles!! Its a beutiful truck and provides a decent ride for a pick-up truck.

  Best Ever - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Chevrolet is Great - December 18 - 11:50 am

  Ever since I got this truck it has been put through the ringer and met or exceeded my expectations (mostly exceeded). I have taken this truck offroading, drove it on the highway and nomatter where it has been it has never let me down. Gets better fuel economy than 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 6.0L with active fuel management. Has out ran people with bigger engines in races.

  Mired in mediocrity - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By MVP019 - December 14 - 2:00 am

  I have had this truck for 5 years on a lease that is about to expire, and I am glad I am getting rid of it, as I feel were I to keep it I would be on the verge of spending a LOT of money in service. Good looking vehicle but beauty is only skin deep in this case. As others have noted, the gas pedal sticks (repeated "fixes" have not fixed it), and the truck has had cooling system problems (water pump replaced at 50,000 mi.) OE tires were nearly bald after 28,000, and the power window motors both had to be replaced. In short, its a typical American car - shot at about 75,000 miles. I am going back into Japanese models.

  99 Silverado LT 4X4 - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Happy Chevy Owner - October 31 - 10:00 am

  The truck has been great. I am to almost 90K almost trouble free miles. The truck can tow anything from boats to trailers. It can also haul anything, loads of dirt, rock etc with ease. The tow/ haul function is great. Mileage is superb for a full size truck. I have the 5.3L and get 17/18 in town 19/20 hwy when not towing. It leaves my friends with Fords and Dodges gasping with astonishment! The leather seats in this truck are also MUCH more comfortable than the other two manufacturers mentioned above.
