1999 Chevrolet Silverado LS 2WD 3DR review from North America
"A comfortable, reliable, pickup truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After about a year and a half, the transmission went bad. The dealer replaced it under warranty, and the new one is still working great at 113,000 miles.
General comments?
A very comfortable truck that has a good resale value. It is a 3-door extended cab with 2WD. It handles alright, but I am used to driving cars. Also, it has good acceleration, 0-60 in under 10 seconds! No expensive repairs, a few recalls and a bad tranny replaced under warranty, but nothing much that I have had to pay for. I have been very happy with it, and plan on buying another Chevrolet in the next couple of months. I would reccommend it if you need a good, reliable truck.
