Not tested by NHTSA
|
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:

GM offers trucking as you like it
By Tony Swan, NewCarTestDrive.com
The Chevrolet/GMC Truck C/K lineup has been updated continuously since its major overhaul back in 1988 and the major refinements for 1995 - a new interior, a driver's airbag and standard 4-wheel ABS - make it more competitive than ever.GM quality still trails Ford by a little bit, although the gap is closing steadily. And the C/K line still enjoys a quality edge over Dodge. It's also worth noting that GM's 6-year/100,000-mile rust-through warranty indicates a high level of quality-confidence on the part of the manufacturer. Our test truck was free of any noticeable flaws, including squeaks or rattles, inside and out, although BSRs (industry-speak for buzzes, squeaks and rattles) rarely show up in a new vehicle. If you want an extended-cab version of one of these trucks, you may need some patience. GM's ability to supply rising demand for these popular models is already on the slow side and factory shuffling is likely to cause additional delays, at least for the first part of the '95 model year. Beyond that, however, the C/K series rolls into 1995 as a distinctly improved and competitively priced line of full-size pickups that includes a truck for just about every conceivable purpose. As a result, choosing between a Ford F-Series, a Dodge Ram or a C/K Pickup gets to be a matter of subtle distinctions in roominess and design efforts. Any way you choose, you should be able to get your pickup as you like it. |
|
Overview:
|
As with life, variety is the spice of trucking these days. Pickups, particularly full-size, come in more shapes, sizes and capacities than any other kind of vehicle. The Chevrolet/GMC Truck C/K Pickup, Ford's perennial rival in the sales derby, provides an excellent example of this product proliferation. Regular cab, extended cab, 4-door Crew Cab; regular bed or long bed; manual transmission or 4-speed automatic; 2-wheel drive, 4-wheel drive; dual rear wheels; several wheelbases; engine options galore; a blizzard of convenience goodies - if Shakespeare were writing today, "As you like it" might very well have been devoted to the American full-size pickup phenomenon. If you can't come up with a C/K Pickup that suits your needs, well, maybe you don't need a pickup.
