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.

  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.

  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.

  By devin - October 11 - 11:53 pm

  Bought my truck in 2005 with 95k on the 4.8 v8. I now have 176k and still going strong at 19 mpg hwy. Ive done everything with this truck from drag racing and towing a 24 ft ski boat on the weekends to a 78 mile commute each day for work and countless frozen hunting trips up north. Its never let me down or stranded me. Love this rig!

  Impressed w/First year model! - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Deepdiver - February 12 - 2:00 am

  Great drivability and ride. Have Z71 package and my truck handles and rides better than sisters 2001 2WD. Impressive pwr and fuel economy (5.3L), have over-size mud tires and full guards and Tri-glass shell. Pulls my heavy boat and other trailers with ease! Love the auto-4WD.The only problem I have is that the throttle cable sticks on cold starts, have to tap the gas peddle to get past the sticking, once driving,no sticking. That and 3 factory recalls and 80000 miles on this truck is quite impressive to me. Havent had the difficulties that I read on some of the other reviews, like noisy rear-end clunk, etc.

  Drives Like New - 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  By Anthony - October 19 - 8:00 pm

  Bought new. Drives great and is very comfortable. Strong engine and with hard tonneau routinely get 20 mpg on 4wd 5.3l V8. Occasionaly use to tow 23 ft Glastron boat with 14 mpg under tow conditions. Totally pleased and will only trade up for diesel pickup with higher towing capability if I purchase a very large 5th wheel camping trailer. Extended cab has very roomy bench seating for 3 passengers. Ive carried 3 adults in back seat and all were impressed with comfort in an extended cab truck. My kids routinely ride in extended cab bench seat area with total confort even when traveling 6-8 hrs. The only disadvantage I say this truck has is not having the 4th door to easily access behind driver.
