1999 Chevrolet 3500 Regular Cab

One of the best trucks ever owned

By makona (CA) on Saturday, March 30, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 82,000

Pros: "a good truck"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Haul livestock anywhere in any conditions, never let me down. Can take to the opera, the rodeo or just a pleasant drive in the country, it always does the job. Will use more fuel than your average truck but then again the selfish ignorant idiots tend to mind their driving manors and our hesitate to cut off a one ton truck pulling a 2 ton trailer. Guess they have some sense."

Total Workhorse

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 265,000

Pros: "towing capacity, leg room"

Cons: "none"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I own the SRW version of this truck and I love it! The towing capacity is superb for being an older truck. The ride quality is a little stiff but thats to be expected for a one ton truck. As long as the truck is taken care of it'll take care of you."

Best truck I've ever owned

By Markzy (AL) on Tuesday, April 24, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 233,000

Pros: "Heavy duty build."

Cons: "None"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"This is a solid truck with heavy duty build. Regular maintenance keeps it going for a looong time. The only weak item on the motor is the oil pressure sensor. I've replaced two of these in the 10 years I've owned this truck so it's not that bad. The ride is a little stiff but it rides good for a one ton truck. The load capacity is well above the one ton rating. Fuel mileage is about the same as a gas powered truck. It seems to get 16mpg loaded or unloaded. All in all it is a great truck."
