1998 Chevrolet Silverado review from North America
"High appointments makes it feel less truck-like"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Truck is a bit sluggish with the 5.0, however it rides like a luxury car.
4 wheel ABS brake pedal feels mushy.
Speed sensitive power steering can be a bit weird when de-accelerating on a curved off ramp, got to be used to it.
Extremely quiet ride, makes my '93 F150 seem like a cargo train.
