Chevrolet Cheyenne – from trim name to a standalone pickup in Latin America: 6.2 to 7.5-litre V8 engines, 180 to 313 kW, gross weights up to 3,900 kg
Cheyenne was originally, from the 1970s, the top trim line on the Chevrolet C/K pickups, and from the late 1990s it became a standalone model name in Mexico and other Latin American markets for the local Silverado-based range. Designations with the suffixes 20 and 3500 follow GM's usual payload-class logic (three-quarter-ton and one-ton respectively), while High Country and LTZ mark the upper trim levels.

The register lists 9 versions with 180 to 313 kW from V8 engines of 6,162 to 7,500 cc. Kerb weights run from 2,322 to 2,995 kg, gross vehicle weights from 3,500 to 3,900 kg. Recorded lengths run from 5,480 to 5,844 mm, widths from 2,000 to 2,480 mm.
As a rugged work vehicle for farming, construction and private trailer towing, the Cheyenne competed with the Ford F-Series and the Dodge/RAM pickup, and especially in Latin America was for decades one of the best-selling commercial vehicles. The spread from lighter half-ton versions to heavy one-ton chassis with large-displacement engines reflects the range's broad model line-up.
When buying a used example, checks should cover frame corrosion, the condition of the rear leaf springs, and wear in the clutch and automatic transmission; on the large-displacement V8s it is worth checking the carburettor or injection and the ignition system for service condition. As the range is closely related to the Chevrolet C/K and Silverado, body and drivetrain parts are readily available on the independent market.
