1999 Chevrolet Silverado LS review from North America
"A well designed tough truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gas pedal stuck, not to the floor, but when ever I turned it on it was hard to push the pedal so then I always had to tap it with my foot so I wouldn't have quick jump-starts. After that it was fine.
It didn't come with the trailer lighting plug and I had to go to 4 different dealers to find it.
General comments?
The truck was very quick and sporty-like.
The truck handled very well while towing my 5,500lb boat.
Seating wasn't too bad for being cloth bucket seats.
Sound system was pretty decent.
Cabin was roomy.
Fuel economy was decent.
