The Chevrolet C3500 LS for 1999

The C3500 LS is equipped with a General Motors 5.7 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The Vortec engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transmission. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Standard Cab Pickup arena.

The C3500 uses power-assisted brakes, with 2-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The truck uses coil and leaf springs front and rear respectively.

Vehicle Statistics

The C3500 is 189.80 inches long, 77.50 inches wide, and 75.20 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 111.20 inches. It is able to seat 2 comfortably.

The standard warranty period for the C3500 is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36 months or 36,000 miles respectively. This is standard in the standard cab pickup market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $22,125 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $20,023. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Standard Cab Pickup.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1999 C3500 is a traditional Central SFI, running on CNG fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 25.00 gallons.

The 1999 C3500 gets 20 miles/gallon on the highway and only 16 in the city. This is exceptional for a standard cab pickup truck.

We Think...

The 1998 model began the promise of the Chevrolet C3500. The 1999 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Chevrolet hopes that the C3500 LS will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
