1991 Chevrolet Silverado from North America - Comments

My 87, town car is stronger! The alternator went after two weeks of the purchase and the passenger side door handle broke the day of the purchase! a seatbealt clip was broken when I bought it and the back window is missing the lock! Seats have terrible wear and tear and the radiator is starting to go. I personally suggest f-series or sierra.

A good loading truck. won't haul for nothing!

An eleven year old truck with 230,000 miles on it. If it was a Ford it would have been in the junk yard years ago. Your truck probably has the small 305 V8, Buy the 3/4 ton with a 350 or 454ci. As for the seats & alternator, radiator etc. it is totally normal for a truck that age and high mileage.

P.S. The silverado and the sierra are virtually the same truck.

I guess you must of had a bad one. Mine is now 15 years old and 233000 miles and rides and tows just as good as new or even better than some new ones. I wouldn't give up this truck for anything. My buddy has a 92 for and it spends more time in the garage than it does out. I would recommend this truck to anyone. Excellent.

I had a 91 silverado with a 350 in it and it had 240,000 miles on it. it was a fast sob. I would never choose a ford over this... and yes, the sierra is the same thing.

Actually the Sierra and Silverado can be different in quality. The showed the inside of a section of a Silverado door. It was hollow. The Sierra's was solid. Technically, yes they are on in the same. As for actual quality... with GM being the manufacturers of Pontiac and such crap, it is hard to tell. As for the "Ford being junked long ago" comment, I have dealt with Ford and it's variants (lincoln and such) and I have to say the problems come far and few between.

I'm 17 and this is my first truck and it runs great. I tear it up every once in a while, but it spends more time on the road than it does in my driveway. Its comfortable for me, my girlfriend and best friend to sit in the single cab. Four high doesn't always engage properly due to a bad adjustment after the transmission swap. Other than that it runs great and gets around perfect in this Missouri weather.

I'm 17 as well my 1990 silverado has been an excellent truck for any thing (but mudding (it has a open rear end) ) the 350 in it is strong the only thing we have replaced is the distributor cap during a tune up.

I'm still driving the '91 Silverado I bought new. Without exception it is the most dependable vehicle I've owned and I'd still rather drive it than my wife's new Envoy. Maybe the fact that it's a 17 year old truck (which is murder on a Ford or Dodge) is why this guy doesn't like it. Maybe it hasn't been well maintained (which doesn't speak well to his buying ability). After all, things can break and parts do need to be replaced on old vehicles.

He sounds more like a Ford guy with an axe to grind. I guess he should just buy a Ford and count on replacing it every 5 to 7 years. I told my wife she could bury me in my good ol' 91 Chevy. We've probably both got a good 30 years left in us!

I'm a 17 year old kid with a 1991 Chevy. It has 236000. I've hauled scrap with it, wood, pretty much everything, even over a ton of concrete in the bed. The 350 had plenty of power, even though the suspension is shot.

"P.S. The silverado and the sierra are virtually the same truck."

I worked for a GMC dealer during the late 1980's.

I actually saw new trucks come in with GMC emblems on one side of the truck and Chevy on the other.

Same line, same truck, just different trim.
