Used 1993 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Series Consumer Reviews
Good truck
Fun truck to drive took me awhile to find a 5spd but was glad when I found a 5 speed Chevy. Good truck got some pick-up and go to it. Not horrible on gas(16mpg) for the power it's got.
Truck has nickel and dimed me far too long
Purchased this truck with 103xxx miles miles in Nov 2011 for $1600, it now has 124xxx. It ran great except for the tranny, it would jerk forward when shifting from 1st to 2nd and shift late from 2nd to 3rd. However, I bought it knowing full well of the tranny problems, wasnt that bad. The truck ran excellent for the first 4k-5k miles, then it left me stranded due to a bad ignition coil. 2k miles later truck wouldnt start due to a bad fuel pump. But its to be expected from a 20+ year old vehicle. Very weak rear suspension. Ive had to change all of the following parts:
The 1993 Chevrolet Z71, Incredible
I just hit 215,000 miles with my truck. I just had the transmission rebuilt at 213,000, and it was the original transmission. This truck will run forever and it has never broken down on me anywhere. I wish the gas mileage was better, but with as many miles that this engine has, it still has smooth, strong power. An awesome workhorse. I wish I could buy another '93, brand new. I will definitely stick with a Chevrolet, but only after this truck can no longer run. I plan on rebuilding the engine so it should go for another 200,000 miles.
1993 Chevy Silverado 1500 ext.sb 4.3L
This is awsome truck! It's carburated 4.3L engine has the get up and go, plus it's great on gas mileage. Nice smooth ride, lot's of fun to drive. And is great to haul things, tow things, or anything you want.
High school truck
This truck is a rare find. 1993 Chevy regular Cab, 5.7 V8, longbox, and a five speed. I regularly tow 2 to 4 4-wheelers without a problem. While unloaded I regularly get 18 miles to the gallon, and while towing I get 15. Not bad for a full size with 120,000 on it. It is also very comfortable with aftermarket conversion van style seats.
