1994 Chevrolet C/K 1500 User Reviews

Best Chevy Truck Made — It's a Z71. It's an excellent truck, even with 208K miles on it. The only thing wrong with it at the moment is the rust on the hood, below the doors and in the bed. Performance- acceleration is great for a 1/2 ton, braking is good, handling is great Build Quality- excellent, it's needed a few repairs over the years, but i'm glad to keep it running well. Appearance- interior is nice, not in perfect condition, but still ok, exterior is the best body style Chevy has done, mine has rust in places Cost of Ownership- mileage is about 15-16MPG, not super, but if you want something with balls, that's what you get. maintenance is normal for a vehicle with 200K+ miles on it Fun Factor- very fun to drive if you like trucks. with a little lift and some nice tires it's a beast.

Haul Anything And Everything You Want To And Do It Until It Rusts Away — Awesome vehicle, I can haul and tow anything I want to and I've got over 235k miles on it now. No complaints, original engine, 3rd transmission. Transmissions are VERY costly and don't seem to last too long, that's the biggest gripe. That and the 14MPG.

Great — Its a great truck i bought it used for 700 so can't ask for it to be awesome but it is good. Being my first car, it is fun to drive use it to work and not afraid to beat it

Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)

Worth It. — Gets from A to B, despite any road conditions. Needs typical rust work on the fenders, quarters, and rocker panels. Sounds decent, not too loud (like half the chevys in town- get a muffler). Dual exhaust-2 racing mufflers, Rockford Fosgate sound system, 3" Rough Country full suspension lift, Nitto snow/mud tires. Fun to drive!!! Just expensive... Overall, a great vehicle for work, and play..

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

A Good First Vehicle. — First off I would like to state that my truck is a single cab step side not the extended cab. It has the 4.3L V6 TBI LB4 engine. It produces a mild 165hp @ 4000rpm and 235 lb-ft torque @ 2000rpm. Though the engine is not all that great, power wise, it is a reliable long lasting piece of engineering. Even after 16 years on the road and 108k miles it is still mechanically sound. A friend of mine had to replace the transmission in his Ford after just 70k miles and less than 1 year off the car lot. It's rated at 13/17 MPGs but, I have been able to get almost 16 MPGs city and 20 MPGs highway. The interior of the truck is rather plain like most 90s vehicles but the step side and raised rear end makes up for the lack of interior styling. Though the 0-60 is about 10 seconds, it will hit 40 in roughly 4.5 seconds. I'm not sure what the top speed is but I have been over 90 mph for sure. The brakes will stop it dead in its tracks and can turn on a dime due to the short wheel base. There is almost no rust on my Chevy and it has never been in a garage or carport. There is a small spec of rust on the hood and driver's side door. There is plenty of room under the hood to add accessories or even drop in a big block 502. There are also quite a few aftermarket addons for the exterior. One downside is changing out parts. GM put a lot of parts around / in the way of the sparkplugs and made changing out the starter almost impossible to do alone.

Primary Use: Commuting to work
