Overview:
Thanks to the tough-guy look of the new Dodge Ram pickup and the rounded mod-squad shape of the even-newer Ford F-Series pickup, the Chevrolet--and cousin GMC--C/K full-size pickups are suddenly looking like the old kids on the block. Yet, in truck years, the General Motors full-size pickups aren't really that old. The design was first introduced in 1988 as a completely new offering inside and out, and even today it looks clean, crisp and contemporary.Stylistically, it offers truck buyers an alternative to the newer Dodge and Ford models, an alternative that is traditional without necessarily being out of fashion. And in a market segment where product cycles are often measured in decades, eight years tallies up as just getting started.
In 1992 the line was rounded out with the addition of a Crew Cab model and a 6.5-liter turbodiesel V8. In 1995 the interior was redone, including the addition of a driver's airbag.
For 1996 there is really big news under the hood. The so-called 'Vortec' technology, which was used to such positive effect on GM's 4.3-liter V6 truck engines, has been extended to all the C/K's gasoline V8 engine offerings. The 5.0, 5.7- and 7.4-liter V8s all deliver a lot more power and a lot more torque. In horsepower, the 4.3 V6 has more than the previous 5.0 V8, the 5.0 has more than the previous 5.7, and the 5.7 has more than the previous 7.4. Across the board, torque figures are up between 20 to 25 lb.-ft., depending upon the specific engine.
The interior redesign for 1995 was a welcome change. Gone are the flat surfaces and square corners, replaced by flowing curves and a significant increase in function.
The new instruments and controls are well located and easy to see, reach and operate. Not to mention far more attractive. Multi-direction face-level vents for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning are spread across the dash. A nifty cupholder pops out of the instrument panel and holds two drink containers without blocking any control functions. In front of the passenger seat the instrument panel includes a recessed top, with two more recesses for drinks; plenty of room for food-on-the-go. There are storage spots all around, and three power outlets for running a radar detector, phone, fax or whatever other electronic necessity your travels require.
In the back of the extended cab there's a bench seat with room for three, but it's really best suited for shorter trips; the seatback is pretty upright and the bench itself is short.
On the plus side there's lots of versatility. The rear seat easily flips up and out of the way revealing, on one side, a covered compartment for tire-changing tools and, on the other, a conveniently flat floor surface for stowing luggage, a tool box or ice chest. Not all extended cab pickups have flat floors in the rear so if you plan on carrying things inside you may want to check this out.
The C/K pickups are also available with an optional third door on the passenger's side, which allows easier access to the rear for piling in people, pets or cargo.
