"The full-size pickup market remains the �bread and butter� of the entire General Motors vehicle portfolio." -- Mike Grimaldi, Vehicle Line Executive (VLE)
The C/K Pickup interior brings a high level of comfort and convenience to the full-size truck segment. Cheyenne trim levels offer a comfortable work environment, yet retain the rugged
construction that�s needed in a hardworking truck. The uplevel Silverado adds more car-like amenities for buyers who also use their vehicles for personal transportation.
The available Silverado third door brings a greater level of convenience to C/K1500 Short-Box Extended-Cab models. This handy passenger-side third door makes it easy to load passengers,
pets or cargo into the rear-seat area.
The third door has a steel beam, double-striker plate and welded construction, for extra strength.
The third door includes a convenient interior storage compartment in the lower portion of the door and a
swing-out window.
Crew-Cab models have rear-seat heat ducts for greater passenger comfort.
An illuminated entry feature keeps the dome lamp on for 20 seconds after the last door is closed (40 seconds for vehicles equipped with optional Remote Keyless Entry). The delay is cancelled when the ignition switch is turned to the "on" position.
Two auxiliary 12-volt outlets are convenient power sources for cellular phones and other electronic accessories. The power ports are concealed by a spring-loaded door. The standard cigarette lighter may also be used as a third power port.
C/K Pickup has an ergonomically designed instrument panel with easy-to-operate controls. It includes two backlit switches for added nighttime visibility and a choice of advanced audio systems. In addition to regular gauges, the standard instrument cluster gauge package includes:
Coolant temperature
Trip odometer
Oil pressure
Voltmeter.
Tachometer
