Overview:

The full-size pickup market has something for everybody: The Dodge Ram has the macho, big-rig look, a monster 8.0-liter V10 and an earth-moving Cummins turbodiesel. The Ford F-Series has aerodynamic styling, modern, overhead-cam engines and a big diesel. The Chevrolet and GMC pickups offer traditional styling and traditional, powerful V8 engines. This is enough variety to bridge the gap from Montana to Hollywood. 

The Chevy C/K and GMC Sierra trucks are mechanically identical. They differ only in badging, trim and minor details. Both offer every imaginable combination of cab size, bed length, powerplant or drivetrain your heart desires. 

Selecting one, therefore, often requires spending some time poring over product brochures and talking to the local Chevy or GMC dealer. We drove a Chevrolet C1500 Silverado, but nearly everything here also applies to the equivalent GMC model. 

With a major redesign coming next year, little is new for 1998. An anti-theft system, called PassLock, is now available. Three new colors are offered. And GM has refined the already proven mechanicals: automatic transmissions have some durability enhancements, half-shafts on 4WD models have improved serviceability, tires on the 1500 models have been selected for improved fuel economy. 

What struck us most about the Chevy pickup was the always-present torque of the 5.7-liter Vortec V8; it flat gets the job done and with reasonable fuel economy. Aside from that, the Chevy and GMC pickups offer buyers a traditional styling alternative to the he-man Dodge and the artful Ford. The Chevy and GMC trucks are scheduled to be redesigned for 1999. While the traditional look of this year's models has been around a while, it hasn't grown old. It remains contemporary, neat and clean. From a styling standpoint, people who customize their trucks seem to prefer the tidy, unpretentious look of the Chevy and GMC models. We like it, too.
